Under the Bridge by Rebecca Godfrey
3.0
3 STARS
"Many twists and turns, "Under the Bridge" examines a terrible crime in which middle-class teenagers obsessed with film idols and hip-hop culture turn on one of their own with tragic results. Who were the seemingly ordinary suburban teenagers who found themselves under the bridge on a moonlit Friday night? Why would a girl who longed to be their friend be beaten and killed? And how did so many teenagers keep the knowledge of a murder from parents, teachers, and police for eight days? "Under the Bridge" answers these questions in a stunning account that takes us into bedrooms and classrooms, into a fateful night, into the hearts of grieving families, and finally, into police stations and courtrooms as adults reckon with a shocking and brutal crime." (From Amazon)
It was odd to read this book as it was a case I read about in the papers and it was near my hometown. I could not get into the writing style but did finish the book.
