What She Buried is true crime that actually has something to say. Journalist Justine van der Leun got a letter from Kwaneta Harris, a woman incarcerated in Texas, and spent years digging into her case and the story the system told about her. It’s the product of seven years of reporting inside US prisons, and it’s less about a shocking twist than about how women — especially incarcerated women — get their stories taken away from them. That said, it’s still a genuinely gripping listen, and the case itself keeps unfolding. It’s part of The Binge Cases. If you want true crime with a conscience that doesn’t sacrifice the storytelling, start this one.
