J-school and murder, one would expect this to be just my scene!
I'm not totally sure where things went off track for me with this one.
Thank you to @stmartinspress and @netgalley for the eARC of Everyone Who Can Forgive Me Is Dead.
The Cornell School of Journalism was the site of brutal murders on Christmas Eve nine years earlier. It became known as Scarlet Christmas.
Charlotte "Charlie" Colbert was present for the events and compartmentalized her trauma to the extreme. She went on to become a successful editor of a major magazine.
But when she learns that a movie is in the works detailing the fateful event, Charlie is forced to unlock her memories.
I was hooked for about the first third of the novel. Then things might have gotten a bit messy and off-focus IMO, and some reveals didn't blow me away. Three stars from me.
Still, a solid debut and I recommend checking it out if you're interested in the subject matter!
For release on Feb. 6.
