Huntley’s (
Getting Clean with Stevie Green) latest starts comfortably enough but soon takes listeners on a thrilling and thoroughly unpredictable ride. Zara Price’s controlling father has just passed away, leaving her almost nothing. Her career as an author hasn’t entirely panned out, although she’s found a modicum of success working as a ghostwriter. Short on cash, Zara accepts a job ghostwriting for Jane Bailey, the star of
30 Bucks Tops, a popular television food show. Zara is quickly seduced by Jane’s glittering, refined life. What starts as admiration turns to sexual attraction, and Zara slowly transforms into Jane’s doppelgänger, adapting Jane’s routines, dressing in her clothes, and even taking on a slight Southern accent. From there, plot twists will keep listeners rapt as they follow the story to its dazzling ending. Lindsey Dorcus skillfully employs realistic accents to switch between the Southern-born Bailey and Zara’s West Coast vibe. The narration flows smoothly and evenly, inviting listeners into Zara’s ever-changing world.
VERDICT Expect the unexpected in this unsettling thriller, perfect for fans of Amelia Morris’s Wildcat.
