Many thanks to NetGalley, Flatiron Books, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of the debut novel by Lauren Nossett, narrated by Saskia Maarleveld - 3.5 stars rounded up!
At the University of Georgia, a fraternity brother steps off a crosswalk and is struck and killed. The witnesses say that the driver looked just liked the victim - and he was smiling. Detective Marlitt Kaplan is first on the scene. The daughter of a UGA professor, she is no stranger to the campus. But Marlitt's past starts to affect her investigation of the fraternity life at the school.
I always enjoy police procedurals as well as novels set at universities - it seems the perfect backdrop for so many emotions. This was a good debut novel but I did feel slightly uninterested and that the story rambled a bit. The detective characters didn't seem to have each others' backs and everyone had their own agendas. The narration was good and I was intrigued to listen to figure it all out - I'll be anxious to read more from this author in the future.
