* *. Drama. A young girl who is brutally murdered watches from heaven as her family copes with her loss and her unsolved murder and tries to move on.
While the book held my attention, I was often taken out of the story by some far-fetched scenes. From the adult language of the child-narrator, to the mind-reading, the voyeurism (sans curiosity), the "eviction" (you'll understand when you read it), asking all of this seems over-the-top in a novel that wants to be "literate".
