A mystery about a murder at a boarding school where the wrong man may be in prison. This one was a slow start, but really picked up in the last 150 pages or so. Rebecca Makkai wrote one of my fav books (The Great Believers), so I wanted so badly to love this. I did LIKE it, but I thought it was confused and perhaps 100 pages too long. It was trying to say too much, about the injustices in our penal system, about MeToo and grooming, about inequality, etc. it just felt a bit convoluted and could have done well with some editing.
