Crossfire by 宮部 みゆき, Miyuki Miyabe
5.0

Great book. I've been reaching out to different genres but mystery who-done-it's are my go to. This did not disappoint in that department! The build up to finding out who did it was excellent. In the end, even though the main character died, it wasn't sadness or pity I felt. I felt relief that she was being released from her hellish life. She was so resigned and reserved to her fate. She was a fire cracker ready to explode and the secret society wouldn't have given her any kind of rest after rooting her out. This was the best solution for her. It broke my heart that the one person who was kind to her was only doing so to get close to her to kill her.
