Invisible City by Julia Dahl
4.0

Okay, so I'm not a big murder-mystery-from-the-point-of-view-of -a-journalist fan, and this was the one drawback to this book. I think it's horrible how some journalists harass people to get a story, and in many parts of this I was repelled by the way our protagonist, Rebikah, just knocked on doors and asked all sorts of people in uncomfortable situations for information. That being said, this was a good mystery that she solved all by herself, mainly because it was not being pursued by the police. I love reading books that take a peek inside the Hasidic Jewish community, and in that way this book certainly did not disappoint. It gave me that peek, a good mystery, and a short read.
