It's been twenty years since Nina, at age 6, witnessed the death of her older sister. The family had moved on, but now a podcast and upcoming documentary is shining a light again on the murder. Nina returns home to face her family and the memories. Did the night in question happen they way she remembered?
I really enjoyed Katie Bishop's sophomore novel. Bishop's writing style is fantastic. I love the nuanced way she brings to life characters that are flawed and complex. There is an intricacy to the plot that isn't too common in a lot of psychological thriller/mysteries that can be found in High Season. At least that I am familiar with. Bishop takes time to develop her characters, giving them a voice and agency that is more common in literary novels. Add in a mystery based plot, and you get a great novel.
If you're still choosing your summer books, make sure High Season is on your tbr. It is a great option for a book club as well. High Season will give you lots to talk about.
I read and reviewed honestly an advanced digital copy offered by the publisher and netgalley.
