The Good Girls

Subtitled: An Ordinary Killing 

Nonfiction by Sonia Faleiro

Two girls, aged 16 and 14, were found hanging from a tree in rural India. Were they murdered? Did they commit suicide? Was it some kind of honor killing? The police sure won’t figure it out; they either are too corrupt or too incompetent. This book tries to present all the facts without giving any opinions. 

I really tried to like this book but in the end I just couldn’t. Maybe I’m not smart enough to appreciate it, but I don’t like all the technical detail coupled with absolutely no conclusions.
