We Keep the Dead Close: A Murder at Harvard and a Half Century of Silence by Becky Cooper

3.0

I was absorbed by this until my Kindle said I was about 40% complete and then it started to seem like I kept reading not making much progress. This started out as one book and ended up as another one that, to me, was a bit of a mess. The author was clearly passionate about the story, and it is exhaustively researched, but I think the real story threw her a curveball that the the story she wanted to write never really recovered from.
