Many thanks to NetGalley, Flatiron Books and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest book by Lauren Nossett and wonderfully narrated by Saskia Maarleveld - 4.5 stars!
Ethan Haddock is found dead in his apartment, an apparent suicide, and everything points to a failed romance with one of his professors, Dr. Verena Sobek. She is investigated and put on leave, pending results of the investigation, and social media is ruining what's left of her reputation. Marlitt Kaplan, an ex-detective now a research assistant, is asked by her mother, another professor and colleague of Sobek's to investigate Ethan's death. But Marlitt doesn't have the police force credentials to help her investigate, so she has to get creative.
This book follows Marlitt's story that started in Nossett's book The Resemblance, but it is certainly a stand alone. I always enjoy books set in academia and this one doesn't disappoint. Marlitt definitely makes questionable decisions in her investigation, but she has the best of intentions. She's still missing her life on the police force, especially the relationship with her partner, Teddy. The book was skillfully set in different POV - Marlitt, Verena and Him. I never guessed the culprit - looking forward to more books by this author!
