3.5/4 stars.

Be aware that if you are triggered at all by mention of sexual abuse, child abuse, and or torture - this is not for you.

Certainly a story relevant to current times with regards to racism, and a much needed narrative to be out in the world.

The main negative I had was that the main character was so dislikeable, and I could not root for her. Which made the story tedious to read at times, but the other characters were far more interesting and held more depth to them.

The latter half of the book really picked up and the murder mystery aspect of it really drew the reader in, the ending, whilst I imagine intended to be unexpected, was what I thought it should be.

Overall though, a powerful and impactful story highlighting privilege, abuse of power and it's lasting effects.
