5.0
This book is an absolute masterpiece. The narration of 11-year-old Thomas was perfect for this story. I loved the use of court records/police reports in between chapters. It helped to build up the mystery of the story while also allowing me to make my own speculations. I was absolutely not prepared for the ending, but those people got what they deserved.
The writing itself was very well-done and the characters and their personalities well built. There was a discomfort present with some of the characters despite not knowing the reasons that really helped the story along. Tommie was such a good person and a good narrator for this book.
This was an excellent read and I highly recommend it.
