Klappentext:
'I read this in one sitting. Fascinating and unique' BELLA MACKIE'Gripping, sharp and sultry' PANDORA SYKES'Superbly unsettling' GUARDIAN'A gothic Olive Kitteridge mixed with Gillian Flynn' VOGUEOn a cold day in 1997, student Sara Morgan was killed in the woods surrounding her liberal arts college in upstate New York. When suspicion falls on the person closest to her - her boyfriend, Blake - the case comes to haunt the friends, family and acquaintances of the couple in strange and unexpected ways. Some look for answers, while others are set on retribution; from the young woman who discovers the body to Sara's half-sister who, years later, seeks out her own form of justice.A propulsive, taut tale of obsession and voyeurism, Nothing Can Hurt You pieces together a chorus of unforgettable voices to explore the far-reaching consequences of one single act of violence.
