So far both a heavy read but also light and easy to read. A mix of detective/ murder mystery whilst highlighting racism in America and how deeply it is engrained (set in 2013 in a town in Mississippi). Covers a lot of tough topics, both current and historical, whilst keeping the mystery of the ‘case’ alive as well.

Very easy to read, short chapters, gripping story. Intense but also very real. Not sure how to process the ending, left a lot of questions and part of me guesses that’s the point and it’s a perfect ending but also left wanting more (maybe also the point).
Gonna take a lot of processing to work out rating. Definite four stars, probably five when I think about how the ending made me feel.
