4.5

What I love the most about this book is that it tackled the different nuances in a murder case. It shows how a murder case can be sensationalized in media and how that can influence the trajectory of the case. 

The evidences in every chapter are thought-provoking and mind-gripping. But I wasn’t entirely satisfied with how the climax played out which is my personal preference. So I still highly recommend it! It’s the kind of mystery novel that keeps on making you reconstruct your theories. I did not exactly predicted the ending so I think that’s a win.
