I am a fan of true crime. I did feel that possibly this book was a bit too long. It is so well written and very informative.
A good read

A true crime book that explores the murder of a Harvard student, Jane Britton. Incredibly well researched and captivating

I don't have the words to describe how much I loved this book. The sheer amount of research and work that must've gone into bringing this story to life is just incredible. Never have I read a 'true crime' book that focused so deeply on the victim, and avoided the clichès such as 'she lit up the room' but gave the reader a real look at the brilliant, witty, troubled and fierce woman that Jane was to all who knew her. I will rave about this book to anyone who will listen!

Unfortunately I ended up DNFing this book at 30%. It’s sad because I hate doing it to non-fiction but this was so rambling I couldn't make sense of it.

This book was not for me but I hope other people enjoy it.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I write true crime myself, so this book appealed to me. Written as a part memoir it captivated me from the start. Well written and very thought-provoking. Recommended.

This is not a traditional true crime book. It centres Jane and the mystery of Cooper's investigation. The murderer becomes a footnote.. Definitely worth a read.

Devoured this. I spent a long time after searching for further information about the case but didn't find much. This book was clearly essential writing, especially in light of MeToo and the contemporary abuses against women by men that we see in the news. Essential reading.

This is a great read and i would recommend you read this! This was a really fun read which I read so so quickly. I was kindly gifted an e-book in return a honest review.

Compelling And Unsettling…
1969. Harvard. The bludgeoning to death of a gifted and ambitious student, Jane Britton. The tale that has been kept alive for forty years when Becky Cooper, then an undergraduate, decides that the case should be investigated further. This is that account. Well written and impeccably researched. A compelling and unsettling true crime narrative which simultaneously paints a picture of the Harvard of the 1960’s.

DNF. There were lots of errors in text (repeated paragraphs and sentences) which meant I did not finish this book.
