It’s rare that I feel a book should be considerably longer but The Body In Question had such promise that was left unfulfilled.
[Minor Spoilers] Broken into two parts, the first of which keeps both the murder trial and the affair between our narrator and a fellow juror at such a surface level, it was hard to get invested in either. While the second part felt cruelly rushed given the delicate subject matter.
