We Keep the Dead Close

Back then, I was blind to the idea that an institution could still be destructive even if its members were good people.

This book is a doozy: a meticulously detailed self-led investigation of a fifty-year old unsolved murder case, AND an ambitious, wide-reaching commentary on true crime in general, authorial overreach, women in academia, and elite institutions' privileging of themselves over truth/justice. Recommend!
