See What I Have Done

4.5 to 5. It was nearly pitch perfect! I don't quite know what it was about this book, but I was enveloped in the nuanced characters and Schmidt's ability to wrap her readers in the senses her characters experience. What was particularly striking was her ability to feature other senses outside of sight, which I find is typically the most described sense in the majority of work. Colors and textures and the look of things - they are certainly included, but not at the forefront most of the time. Instead, smell and feel and sound were so expertly drawn and featured. Especially smell and sound. I highly recommend this chilling tale of what might have happened in this infamous crime.
