Nothing Can Hurt You by Nicola Maye Goldberg
A college student is murdered in the late 1990's and people who knew her or heard about her reflect on her murder.
Really disappointing. It's not a mystery or suspense - the murder occurred years earlier, the killer served time briefly in a psychiatric facility and was released, he has a whole new life and family. The characters either knew or heard about the victim. Several people in the book know where the murderer is living, and at first I thought one of them would take revenge for the killing, but none of them do anything but ponder the meaning of her death. The book is being heralded as the new Gone Girl (please, can we stop comparing everything to GG and just let GG be GG?), but it's nothing like that story.
About the best thing I can say about this book is that it's short.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an eARC in return for a review.
