4.5

This book leads you through San Piedro Island, slowly revealing each involved character’s story, the dynamics between them, and the general attitude of the Island. Through each new perspective you learn a little bit more about what happened the night that Carl Heine Jr was killed and the impact of his death (but the many perspectives is integrated so well, it’s not confusing at all!). By the end I was on the edge of my seat to see how the trial would turn out. I highly recommend!
