2 stars.

The It Girl by Ruth Ware

Audio.  17 hours.

Read by Imogen Church.

 

A college girl is murdered and someone it tried and convicted.  When he dies in prison ten years later, still claiming to be innocent, Hannah, the prosecution's main witness starts to worry that she condemned an innocent man.

Story was good.  I liked the flashback format the author used.  Sadly, another smart woman starts doing dumb things.  Sigh.  The narrator was excellent though.

4 stars.
