3.5 stars. Fast-paced read that really made me question how we handle criminal investigations, sentencing, the juvenile “justice” system, and more - but that twist at the end frustrated me. If you were horrified yet intrigued by Lesley Nneka Arimah's short story “Windfalls,” this is a good book to pick up.
