So Much Pretty by Cara Hoffman

A young woman goes missing in a small town in upstate New York and her body is found five months later right outside of town. Obviously the murderer is one of the locals, but when the newspaper reporter, an "outsider" from Cleveland, tries to get to the bottom of the story, no one wants to talk. The book is difficult to follow at first because the narrative changes point of view and time period with every short chapter. I stuck with it and found the story and characters compelling, and the book well worth reading. I will be thinking about this one for a long time.
