The intense dissection of the aftermath allowed me to consider the widening ripple effect of the consequences of such an attack. Knight explored this beautifully and sensitively, allowing me to connect to how 'you know who' felt and then otuwards to the world of those who became involved in the aftermath.
The solving of the crime was such a cliff hanger!!

Re law and justice. They are quite different!



I can see that the boundaries between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour can become blurred by the environment we live in. This is seen in Australian scandal today given we have teens who grew into adults having watched shows like American Pie.
The way boundaries become blurred is one of the themes in 'In and Out of Step' as well, isn't it? Such a rich novel!
