Slow burn murder-mystery taking place on a college university campus. Interesting enough, but never really pulled me in too deeply.

Loved the mystery, the intrigue, the structure, the noir-ish aspects, the nuanced characters and the climax. Suspecting where the story was leading, did not make it any less enjoyable. My third Alex Michaelides read, and my favorite.
