 This was a suspenseful page-turner about a girl named Nina who is murdered by her boyfriend Simon, and the aftermath that follows the detectives investigating the case and both families - Simon's parents who are wealthy and will use all their resources to keep their arrogant son in the clear, and Nina's parents who are working class citizens that will stop at nothing to get to the truth of what really happened to their daughter, even if it means seeking their own personal justice. Told in alternating points of view. Solid story. Reminiscent of the Gabby Petito case. PERFECT ENDING.
