Gibney wrote a story that I was so involved in I didn’t want to put it down until
I solved it with them. She did a great job with this dark storyline and plot in this well written mystery. The characters were written so well. There were so many twists and turns in a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Michele Moran who did an amazing job. Thank you to Bookoutre and NetGalley for letting me listen to this audiobook in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions.
