How It Happened by Michael Koryta

5.0

4.5/5 stars. Wow. This book was a rollercoaster. It started off so good, I was immediately hooked on the story. Then about halfway through, it became harder to read and very slow. However, that didn’t last for long - it picked up and I was visibly shocked multiple times while reading this novel. Essentially, it’s like following a Netflix documentary but in a book. I really liked this book, the concept of how a murder was committed, but the witness was unreliable (as most are), but she was so certain of what she saw. The way the story unravels is wild. It ended with all questions being resolved (most questions continued until the last page) and answered. I really liked this.
