Bleeding Heart Yard

The blurb made me think that Cassie was actively trying to manipulate the investigation which would make for an interesting story. But that's not at all what happens. So ignore the blurb.

There's something about the "old classmates with a dark, common secret meet at a reunion many years later, and secrets start bubbling to the surface" trope that always leaves me with the assumption that I can't trust anyone. None of them. Not even myself. I really love unreliable narrators because it makes it difficult for me to "figure it all out" too early.

I did enjoy that part of Bleeding Heart Yard, but I also did have a hunch very early on that, sadly, turned out to be correct. Which means I "figured it all out" way too soon. In lieu of that the ending was disappointing. But I really do have an insanely correct hunch with these things, and I won't assume many people will figure this one out. Don't let my experience here hold you back.

Bonus points for a lesbian MC (Harbinder Kaur). There aren't many in this genre.

Too many suspects retelling an event that happened 21 years before. Seemed to be reading the same pages over and over. Good mystery but book could have been shorter! David N.

Enjoyed the writing, but the ending (and logic behind it) was ridiculous.
However, I was motivated to read other books by same author.
