It’s common knowledge that the general public has gotten a little obsessed with true crime. Bodie Kane is no different. 

Bodie is a forty something year-old femicide podcaster heading back to teach a class at her prestigious former New England boarding school. When one of her students decides to podcast about the two decades old murder of Thalia Keith, who just so happens to have been Bodie’s junior year roommate, the case gets more attention than expected. And Bodie can’t seem to stop herself from diving in the deep end of it all. 

This was a slow, slow, slooooow burn with themes surrounding misogyny, racism, #metoo, privilege, class, justice (or lack there of), and the public unofficially taking the role of quasi investigators and judges. If you’re a fan of mysteries, messy endings, internal conflict, and cultural fixations, this one’s for you.
