As Emma delves deeper into the project, she begins to question the line between fiction and reality, all while confronting her own past and forming unexpected alliances.
My Review:
I had a really great time listening to this book! It was such an interesting mystery, with this lady dealing with her sister's death, and the way her mom is treating her while her mom is of poor health and they need a nurse to take care of her. That she ends getting this ghost writer gig, from the perspective of a serial killer? Yeah, it was really interesting!
I did have an audio ARC copy of this book, and the female narrator's parts weren't the best quality, they were tinny, like it was recorded in an echoey room, and a bit hard to understand and I think I lost a few details that would've helped understand the mystery better. The male narrator was normal, but the female narrator, well, it's an ARC, maybe it could be re-recorded.
We did get a variety of perspectives which really helped anchor this story, to get all this different ways of looking at what had happened, from a sister of a victim, a mother of the victim, and from the killer, it seems, though I did wonder if it was the killer's perspective or the perspective of the killer in the book. There was a good chance that the book was based on the actual killer's perspective, which I wanted to know what was going on!
All the twists and turns of this mystery was so interesting, and I loved how it turned out! That was pretty satisfying, because this book was a bit about people who aren't the best, who get away with not being great, so I really enjoyed how it wrapped up!
This was a fantastic mystery and I had a great time reading it!
