The riveting new novel from the author of The Great Believers, finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award

A successful film professor and podcaster, Bodie Kane is content to forget her past: the family tragedy that marred her adolescence, her four largely miserable years at a New Hampshire boarding school, and the 1995 murder of a classmate, Thalia Keith. Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia's death and the conviction of the school's athletics coach, Omar Evans, are the subject of intense fascination online, Bodie prefers-needs-to let sleeping dogs lie.

But when The Granby School invites her back to teach a two-week course, Bodie finds herself inexorably drawn to the case and its increasingly apparent flaws. In their rush to convict Omar, did the school and the police overlook other suspects? Is the real killer still out there? As she falls down the very rabbit hole she was so determined to avoid, Bodie begins to wonder if she wasn't as much of an outsider at Granby as she'd thought-if, perhaps, back in 1995, she knew something that might have held the key to solving the case.

One of the most acclaimed contemporary American writers, Rebecca Makkai reinvents herself with each of her brilliant novels. Both a transfixing mystery and a deeply felt examination of one woman's reckoning with her past, I Have Some Questions for You is her finest achievement yet.©2023 Rebecca Makkai (P)2023 Hachette Audio UK Crime Fiction Crime Fiction Exciting Suspense

Loved it - great narration, high end psychological thriller/murder mystery with wry, smart humour, deeper issues really well explored - not remotely preachy makes you think and relate. Really works on audible. Heard about it on podcast First Draft, an inspiring interview with the author. Now want to read all her work.

Powerful story with strong narrative around a number of recent social issues, very thought provoking whilst enjoyable and engaging . Enjoyed the narrative about the impact of gender based violence, structural injustices and racism. Also how the me too movement has unsettled our relationships with power and abuse but with little satisfactory resolution and unresolved injustice.

Good read

this was a weird book 📖. I finished it, but I still don't get the point of this book. it wasn't bad, just slow and pointless. great narrator. I also didn't like the ending. Basically, everything that happened from the beginning was for nothing.

A truly compelling story on every level- very well structured, plus themes and ideas I will be thinking about for a long time to come. A huge recommend.

Excellent

beautifully narrated, this is a powerful story of the impact a young students death has on her peers, on a broken judicial system, misogyny and racism. I loved every second and felt each one like a gut punch. brilliant.

brimming with passion and complexity.
