It takes some really good writing to make a book where nothing really happens interesting and this psychological mystery is a perfect example of that. Ethan Haddock, a college student, is discovered dead in his apartment with suicide note pointing finger towards one of his professor as a reason for his death. The Title IX investigation ensues witch brings a lot of media attention and complicates interrogations. A former detective - Marlitt Kaplan - starts her own research in hopes of clearing professor's name.
I really liked how this novel played on the themes of depression and mental health struggles among the students, university staff and even the main heroine - everything was described in a sensible way that made me feel for Ethan, professor Sobek and Marlitt. I guess that's also a trigger warning - if you are in the mentally bad place this book can be pretty challenging to read.
My only complain is that this story assumes that you've read The Resemblance, former book of this author, where Marlitt was introduced - there are multiple references to the previous installment and they were sometimes pretty baffling for me since I did not read it. So if you are interested in this position make sure you've read The Resemblance first.
Enjoyable.
