Mildly interesting and very slow-paced. Reads / plot is very much like many other books I’ve read, so wouldn’t say ‘exciting’ by any means.

Some tropes / plot points / potential triggers, etc.

Set in NYC.

Corruption, deceit.

Heart-wrenching violence toward kid(s).

Gaslighting.

Talk of / possible portrayal of suicide.

Alternating timelines.

Overall:

It’s okay. Not bad by any means, just also not original and not particularly good.  3 stars.

🎧 Audio:

Absolutely awful, one of the worst I’ve heard. Sounds like AI-narration / virtual voice, etc. Did a human narrate this and sound this way on purpose? Or was one dishonestly credited? I don’t know but it’s awful. The ‘voice’ used for the FMC’s sister sounded like a cartoon robot chipmunk. It’s so bad. If you’re an Unger fan, I recommend eyeball reading this one, if at all possible. Awful production. 0 stars.
