I just finished listening to this book and just loved it -- to the point I'm recommending it to everyone. I didn't pick it up because of the subject matter. But the book isn't really about the murder. The author says in an interview after the book that it is "a knitting together of how you learn to live after someone leaves your life." It is written beautifully. Each character is fleshed out and very human. You have real compassion for everyone in the book with all their flaws. It made me teary. It made me laugh. And, it always hit my heart straight on.
