Penitence: A Novel | Kristin Koval

4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - This was a really good read. I would have given it 5 ⭐️s but I was disappointed in the ending. It wasn‘t bad, just not enough to me. I hope you get what I mean. It was very interesting. Read it fairly quickly for me. Some language, but not much. No bad sexual content, but some. Just giving those who look for those things a heads up. Recommend to all. This was my Book of the Month for February. #BookoftheMonth #LitsyReads #Read2025

This is a brilliant debut novel about family, secrets, love, and ultimately forgiveness. While there is a murder that is central to the plot, and some legal drama, I do not feel it read as a mystery or thriller. Instead, it was a beautifully told story of families facing tragedies and trying to survive. It is both sad and thought provoking and I really enjoyed it. Thank you to both Edelweiss+ and NetGalley for the digital ARCs. 4.5/5

This was interesting story telling. The author had the chops to turn this into a legal drama but opted to keep it more family drama. I was a little frustrated the characters spent so much time inside their own heads, but as the story unfolded I was surprised at a major turn. I also thought the ending was complete, and I appreciate that in a mystery.

Reading this today. It‘s my Book of the Month pick for February. Yep I‘m late getting started 😩 but it‘s been busy this month for me, in my mind and just stuff going on to keep me from starting. This book is a crime/mystery/fiction novel by Kristin Koval. So far it‘s a great read. So I‘ve high hopes for this one. Happy Reading! #LitsyReads #BookoftheMonth #crimemystery #fiction #crime #Reads2025

3.5⭐
•This has five-star potential, but ultimately I was left feeling unfulfilled and even low-key enraged with the author‘s idea of closure.
•The narration was performed wonderfully by Thérèse Plummer.
