April and Hannah are Oxford roommates, one vivacious and fun and one more serious; when the former is murdered by a staff member in the dorm, the terrible case seems open and shut. But ten years later, after the man's death in prison, evidence points in a different direction in Ruth Ware's The It Girl.
Hannah, the surviving roommate, has married her college sweetheart and is expecting a baby; but that doesn't deter her from teaming up with Hannah's younger sister and going back to find their old friend group a decade later.
Very solid mystery, told in alternating chapters set in the past and the present, with lots of twists and turns and puzzle pieces locking into place.
Ware is one of my favorite contemporary writers because she doesn't ever write the same book twice and dabbles in a lot of mystery subgenres. This one satisfies down to the last surprise.
I listened to a good audiobook read on loan from the New Castle-Henry County Public Library in New Castle, Indiana.
