A beautiful teenager is killed, with the two primary suspects a rich kid with an attitude and a poor delivery boy; but the murder remains unsolved, and ripples through the lives of many of those involved, in Kwon Yeo-Sun's Lemon.
Lemon is a dense, baroque murder mystery in which a lot of the characters' motivations, and much of the critical action, is hidden from the reader. Little bits float to the surface through chapters that jump from various narrators in different time periods, and the reader is relied on to piece it together themselves.
I honestly read a lot of reviews after to see if others had puzzled the mystery out, but I still remained unsure what exactly happened. Still, an offbeat read and recommended for mystery fans looking for something different.
I checked this out from the Morrisson-Reeves Public Library in Richmond, Indiana and read it quickly.
