A gripping, intriguing story about a crime and the aftermath. But it's more than that - it's a coming of age story and it's about families and and loss and guilt and healing. Beautifully written with lines that made me stop and reread them (''...her mother's smile looked like she'd drawn it on her face after consulting an illustrated encyclopedia of expressions.''). All of the characters are fascinating but I especially liked hearing all the inner, rather hilarious, thoughts of Claire, the mother.
