Less mystery, more character study of three college students who were familiar with a student who was murdered on campus. The story follows each of them just prior to the murder, after the murder, and then continues to follow them into their 30s. The murder itself is almost like the hub of a wheel, the basis by which they navigate their lives. If you're looking for a mystery tied up with a bow at the end, this isn't it.
