Less than a week out from publication, the New York Times published a stunning feature on Becky Cooper’s WE KEEP THE DEAD CLOSE, detailing Cooper’s decade-long research into the death of Harvard grad student Jane Britton and the college’s role in her murder investigation. Critic Emily Eakin calls the book “a true-crime procedural and a record of its author’s all-consuming obsession,” noting that “is also, more unusually, a young woman’s reckoning with an institution whose mythic reputation belies unsavory secrets.” The book has also been named a best book of November by Shondaland, Amazon Books, Town & Country, the Washington Post, and countless other outlets. Grand Central Publishing will publish the book on November 10, 2020.
