suzsta's review against another edition

dark emotional mysterious tense slow-paced

4.0

 The tragic murder of Reena Virk is immortalised within these pages in a true crime novel that reads like a tragic work of fiction. With a tenderness and deep regard for the lived experiences of many of the teenagers implicated in this heinous crime, which are littered with hardships and abandonment, rage and love, horror and beauty, and none more than Reena herself, Godfrey handles the lead up, the crime, and the subsequent trial with a stunning clarity and insight into the reality of how a group of young people could come to be involved in a murder. A sobering, heart rending look at the circumstances that brought Reena Virk to the fateful bridge, and the minds of the teenagers who would murder her there. 

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for access to this ARC
