I stayed up too late reading this doorstop of a murder mystery during the busy week before Christmas, but I couldn’t put it down. I appreciated every thread of this tangled web: Bodie’s good and bad memories of her time at boarding school, the doubled vision you get when you return to the formative places of your adolescence or reconnect with old classmates, still seeing their youthful beauty and energy within whatever changes time has wrought, the constant noise and threat of violence against women on the news, on true crime podcasts, everywhere. A riveting read and satisfying in some unexpected ways even though hardly anyone gets justice.
