Hindsight: A Novel of the Class of 1972 by Barbara Rogan

Hindsight: A Novel of the Class of 1972 Hindsight: A Novel of the Class of 1972 by Barbara Rogan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this mystery and thought it was well-written. I had several suspects pegged and was pleasantly surprised by the reveal at the end of book. The author kept you guessing the whole time and the doer isn't revealed until you are 20 pages from the end!
