Where They Found Her by Kimberly McCreight

Where They Found Her by Kimberly McCreight

In a college town in Northern New Jersey where there is a clear divide between the haves and have-nots, the educated and the not, the body of a newborn is found in a creek which runs through the remote reaches of the college property.  It is immediately assumed by many that one of the uneducated unfortunates of the town must have taken drastic and horrific measures to get rid of an unwanted baby.  Is that the real story?  A reporter, new to town trying to recover from a great loss, and a police chief who refuses to make judgments and relentlessly searches for the truth, try to piece together how this infant came to be where they found her.

Much like her prior book, Reconstructing Amelia, the author has multiple irons in the fire.  This one incident fires off many other storylines all culminating in a shocking conclusion.  I’d say more, but the facts are revealed slowly and it works.  Don’t want to ruin it!
