Everyone Who Can Forgive Me Is Dead by Jenny Hollander

5.0

Charlie Colbert is the editor of a fashion magazine and engaged to a wealthy publishing heir. She has the world at her feet. But then someone from her past decides to make a movie about horrific multiple murders at her graduate school over ten years ago. Charlie was there, but cannot remember the details. However, what she does know is the story she made up for the police. With the help of her therapist, can she recover her memories? And does she want to?

This is a compelling psychological mystery with secrets that are deeply buried but slowly uncovered as we go along. There are some well-hidden surprises, and the mystery begins to unfold through Charlie's slowly returning memories of the past. Chapters are simply titled "Now" and "Then," which differentiates between the present and Charlie's time at grad school, and this works well. Every character is fascinating and seems to have a secret, and I loved the way the truth is expertly peeled away.

This is a mesmerizing story that will keep the reader enthralled and guessing. Fans of mysteries and psychological thrillers will want to seek this one out.

I received a free copy of this book from St. Martin's Press via Netgalley. My review is voluntary and the opinions expressed are my own.
