Did You See Melody? by Sophie Hannah

The Blurb On The Back:

She’s the most famous murder victim in the country.

What if she’s not dead?

Cara Burrows walked into the wrong hotel room.

She was never meant to see the girl.

The girl can’t have been Melody.

Melody was murdered seven years ago …

Wasn’t she?

( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

Sophie Hannah’s standalone psychological thriller has some interesting things to say about the US justice system and how the media can distort high profile cases, leading to miscarriages of justice, but the story is hampered by a main character who never behaved in a credible way for me and a plot filled with contrivances and flat side characters such that I didn’t care about the resolution.
