A Room Swept White by Sophie Hannah
4.0
TV producer Fliss Benson is involved in a documentary about miscarriages of justice involving cot-death mothers wrongly(?) accused of murder. And then one of the mothers get murdered. A numbered card found on her body matches the ones that Fliss keeps getting in the mail..
I got quite absorbed in this book because of its interesting premise and the fact that it explores both sides of the case: the culpability of the mothers and the expert witness testifying against them.
I found the protagonist very annoying, but while she’s not exactly likeable, she’s very believable. Other things I didn’t like: repetition, meh characters, epiphanic moments for detectives, and an annoyingly ambiguous ending.
Anyway, I’m a sucker for a good whodunnit and wouldn’t mind reading more of Sophie Hannah. Recommendations welcome!
