Like any enterprising woman, Bea knows what she’s worth and is determined to get all she deserves—it just so happens that what she deserves is to marry rich. Filthy rich. After years of forced instruction by her mother in the art of swindling men, a now-solo Bea wants nothing more than to close and lock the door on their sordid partnership so she can disappear safely into old-money domesticity, sealing the final phase of her escape.

Seventeen-year-old Bret is a senior at the exclusive Buckley prep school when a new student arrives with a mysterious past. Robert Mallory is bright, handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from Bret and his friends even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit circle. Bret’s obsession with Mallory is equaled only by his increasingly unsettling preoccupation with the Trawler, a serial killer on the loose who seems to be drawing ever closer to Bret and his friends, taunting them—and Bret in particular—with grotesque threats and horrific, sharply local acts of violence.

Publisher's Summary
Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by TIME, NPR, USA Today, Elle, Newsweek, Salon, Bustle, AARP, The Millions, Good Housekeeping, and more
“Unputdownable and unforgettable.”—Andrew Sean Greer, author of Less is Lost
“Part boarding school drama, part forensic whodunit, I Have Some Questions for You is a true literary mystery—haunting and hard to put down.”—Jennifer Egan, author of Candy House
The riveting new novel from the author of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist The Great Believers
A successful film professor and podcaster, Bodie Kane is content to forget her past—the family tragedy that marred her adolescence, her four largely miserable years at a New Hampshire boarding school, and the murder of her former roommate, Thalia Keith, in the spring of their senior year. Though the circumstances surrounding Thalia’s death and the conviction of the school’s athletic trainer, Omar Evans, are hotly debated online, Bodie prefers—needs—to let sleeping dogs lie.
But when the Granby School invites her back to teach a course, Bodie is inexorably drawn to the case and its increasingly apparent flaws. In their rush to convict Omar, did the school and the police overlook other suspects? Is the real killer still out there? As she falls down the very rabbit hole she was so determined to avoid, Bodie begins to wonder if she wasn’t as much of an outsider at Granby as she’d thought—if, perhaps, back in 1995, she knew something that might have held the key to solving the case.
In I Have Some Questions for You, award-winning author Rebecca Makkai has crafted her most irresistible novel yet: a stirring investigation into collective memory and a deeply felt examination of one woman’s reckoning with her past, with a transfixing mystery at its heart. Timely, hypnotic, and populated with a cast of unforgettable characters, I Have Some Questions for You is at once a compulsive thriller and a literary triumph.
What the critics say
“I’ve been waiting years for a book like this! You will laugh, think, think again, cry and stay up all night finishing it. Unputdownable and unforgettable. Makkai has written the book of the season.”—Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less and Less Is Lost

*Almost* a masterpiece
This novel is masterfully written, both as a piece of literary fiction and as a psychology drama. The prose is propulsive and the narrative development exceptional and the plot clever. But I felt like it fell short of it's potential, ultimately because it's a story about rape culture and violence against women that is written by a white woman that hinges on the incarceration of a Black man - and that comes through. Mostly, the author owns this discrepancy and the book is actually stronger for it - it's her story and it's real. But it's the end that failed me, and she could have done something so small to fix this. Throughout the whole book, the author uses this strong narrative device of "there was the one where..." and she goes on to describe violent acts against women and the failures of the justice system to protect them. At the end, she SHOULD HAVE done a "there was the one where" with all the Black men incarcerated, murdered or hurt for being falsely accused of hurting white woman. By not doing this one thing, the author ends on a note of rage and hope for all the women (who are almost always implicity understood as white) who experience violence, but denies the complexities of how that hope is instrinctly linked to anti black violence- something the conceit of the book flirts with but never brings to fruition. This oversight left me with a grief for a book I wanted more from.

Narration saves this clunky story
Julia Whelan’s narration saved I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU. I don’t think I could have slogged through this clunky novel if I had been reading words on a page or kindle.
I didn’t feel satisfied with the resolution of the book. I also thought Brodie’s boundaries with her high school teens would have been more appropriate with college students. They weren’t her peers, yet she treated them as such.
To be fair, literary fiction isn’t my favorite genre. I prefer mystery/thriller, dark academia, young adult and women’s fiction. I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FOR YOU had a lot of opining and introspection.
I liked Bodie and agreed with most of her points of view on the importance of #MeToo while not over-indicting every comment and could he misconstrued. A comment can trigger (I hate that word) negative feelings based on life experiences without being inappropriate, which is an issue for therapy, not public denouncement. Similarly. “You look good” can be an innocent compliment or harassment depending on tone and if the person is staring at one’s chest. We need a nuanced approach to examining harassment based on circumstances so we don’t paint one comment under the same umbrella as rape.

Out With A Whimper
Ms. Makkai, you had me right there engrossed in your story of intrigue and murder, even with the inclusion of a few too many racial and gender related topics of the moment. The promise of the "twist," was effectively foreshadowed and dutifully delivered but then left to deflate with the most unsatisfying ending. Blah. Just blah.
Save your credit for something else.
