The Good Girls: An Ordinary Killing by Sonia Faleiro

challenging dark emotional informative mysterious sad tense fast-paced

3.75

This was a gut-punch, but one with no solid conclusions. For so many reasons Faleiro is unable to say exactly what happened definitively, but she uses it as a chance to say things about the many systems that allowed the crimes and errors to occur, which is truthfully more impactful. A hard book to read, but a really clear look at rural India's issues with gender violence, honour culture, caste, and police.
