One of my late netgalley arcs, I decided to listen to via my library app.
This was riveting and harrowing read following a dual sexual assault case, one in the present day and one set in the mystery of a cover up that happened some years before.
We follow a podcast presenter investigating both cases and it was interesting to see the perspective of varying characters of what, to me, is an obviously awful crime.
The acts done to the body was so graphic and really hard to read, so please bear that in mind.
Overall, I'm glad to have finally read this, but it was a heavy, difficult read.

In better news, I did like the murder mystery half. The twists were interesting, and the flashbacks were by far the best written segments of the story.
But sadly, overall my enjoyment of this book was hampered by a trial plot I did not feel invested in. If you like watching lawyer shows or otherwise just don't mind court stories, this would probably be a pretty good book for you. But I guess I just came for the murder mystery thriller and left disappointed by the legal case.
