I loved this book. Interesting topic and fascinating look at a crime from years ago. A great pondering of the consequences of the story that gets told about what happens, who did it and the long lasting effects on everyone's lives.

Saturday mail surprise. Has anyone heard about this book? What should I expect?

shawnmooney Haven't heard a thing, but looks deeply interesting, so long as it's not white Afrikaner revisionist racist history or something… :-) 9y

bookishkai I got an advanced e-galley, but I haven't read it yet. It looked really interesting, especially because it's a part of the world I really don't know that much about. 9y

BookishFeminist I also have it through netgalley- started it a while ago & great so far! It's fascinating. 9y

so-so

Read as ARC from Random House/Netgalley. Interesting story about the investigation into the death of Amy Biehl in S.Africa in 1993. I felt deflated by the ending (that may be a spoiler) but it was a great insight into another culture and a reminder that the truth is usually not black or white.
