The False Friend by Myla Goldberg

As someone who doesn’t much like traditional mysteries, I appreciated that this was kind of “mystery-lite,” in which the motives the main character was sleuthing were her own. There was a lot of very good wordsmithing that often came close to being the revelatory-of-the-human-experience stuff I really get off on. This was good, but I liked “Bee Season” better of the Goldbergs I’ve read.
