I was in the mood for an academia mystery/thriller and this book did not disappoint. It was fairly engrossing and I listened to it in just a few days. It is one of those books, though, that the more I think about it the less satisfying the ending becomes. Still, I look forward to reading more by the author. And it was a thoughtful treatment of racism, privilege, and misogyny in the backdrop of a campus murder mystery.
