3.0
More like 3.5* I have never read a fiction book where the main character had a disability, but having a deaf main character added a twist to solving the mystery. I took sign language in college and had to try to live as a person with a hearing disability for an assignment, but it was so long ago I forgot how profound that experience was. This book brought that back. It reminded me of how hearing focused our world is, and how challenging it can be for people who can't hear. That being said, I enjoyed this book. When I started reading I thought Connor was a boy; I've never met a female Connor! Once I got that confusion cleared up, I enjoyed the story much more. I was surprised that Mickey was the killer, but his confession... wow! The motive was spectacular. He genuinely thought he was doing the right thing. I thought the grave robbing part of the story was not developed enough or could have been left out all together. Otherwise, this was a great mystery. I will definitely be reading more from this series!
