A compelling mystery for book lovers but I had one major issue
Sophie lobbied for a harsher prison sentence for an at-risk youth which is carceral feminism at its worst and seemed like a missed opportunity in character development to ignore her grandmother’s progressive history and her uncle’s similar past. Put a bad taste in my mouth to end the book that way and made me knock off a whole star.
