When someone dies in a novel, the immediate circle is usually the focus. What's most intriguing about this book is the study of the ripple effect of Sara's death. Friends, family, strangers-they are all here. The comparison to a short story collection popping up in other review is a valid one. I think if you enjoyed the book Topics of Conversation you'll enjoy this. This isn't a book about a murder but the impact of a murder, the stories that usually get overlooked. It's smart and asking questions without expecting any answers.

"On a cold day in 1997, student Sara Morgan was killed in the woods surrounding her liberal arts college in upstate New York. Her boyfriend, Blake Campbell, confessed, his plea of temporary insanity raising more questions than it answered. In the aftermath of his acquittal, the case comes to haunt a strange and surprising network of community members, from the young woman who discovers Sara's body to the junior reporter who senses its connection to convicted local serial killer John Logan. Others are looking for retribution or explanation: Sara's half sister, stifled by her family's bereft silence about Blake, poses as a babysitter and seeks out her own form of justice, while the teenager Sara used to babysit starts writing to Logan in prison."--Publisher.
