A review by marmoo
The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes

4.0

With a hardboiled tone, clever dialogue, and ambitious story structure, this crime novel was compelling from the first page. A word of warning, this book went heavy on the gendered violence front. For me, it mostly landed in a considered, making-a-point sort of way, rather than merely prurient, but people’s mileage may vary on that one.
