This elegant and eerie Korean thriller lingers long in the mind. In the summer of 2002, Kim Hae-on was killed in what became known as the High School Beauty Murder. 17 years later the identity of her killer is still unknown. Her sister Da-on is haunted by her loss and desperate to live up to her beloved, beautiful sister's memory, until a forgotten detail only Da-on would know blows the case wide open. Although it works wonderfully well as a tense whodunnit, this atmospheric and intriguing book also has much to say about contemporary Korean culture and its obsession with physical perfection. #lemon #kwonyeosun #koreanfiction #fictionintranslation #thriller
