Howard's (
Distress Signals) latest thriller is read by Alana Kerr Collins, Alan Smyth, and Gary Furlong. All of these Irish voice artists do an excellent job, and the audiobook moves seamlessly from one character to another. Alison Smith was a freshman at St. John's College, Dublin, when her boyfriend Will was charged with murdering five women, including her longtime best friend. She thought he was innocent at the time, but when he confessed, she accepted his guilt. Ten years later, Alison is living in Amsterdam when the Dublin Garda contact her, asking her to talk with Will. Similar murders have begun and Will refuses to talk with the police until he can speak with her. Not having been back to Dublin for ten years, she decides to return and fulfill the Garda's request. Her trip turns out to be full of unexpected twists. Will told Alison he was innocent. She believed him these ten years later. Should she have?
VERDICT This deliciously creepy read is recommended for those who enjoy mysteries. It is appropriate for young adults as well. ["Readers of Paula Hawkins, Tana French, and Ruth Ware will love this exceptionally well-crafted thriller": LJ 1/18 starred review of the Blackstone hc.]
