Jane Connor has spent the last 15 years atoning for a decision that almost cost her younger sister Esme her life. The sisters have since become estranged, so Jane is shocked when Esme calls one night and asks to stay with her while navigating a separation from her husband. Should Jane set out into the night to give her sister a ride and start to mend their rift, or are the risks of repeating the past too great? The consequences of her decision are explored in two split realities that demonstrate the impact of even the smallest choice. In her adult debut, YA author Frick (The Reunion) presents complex psychological suspense, bouncing between two distinct storylines. With only brief chapter headings to distinguish the dual timelines, this listening experience demands full attention. Narrator Kelsey Navarro Foster gives an expressive performance of the compelling, character-driven tale, capturing all its tension and twists.
VERDICT This audio will appeal to listeners seeking an intricate suspense full of sordid family secrets. Recommended for fans of Riley Sager, Jamie Day, and Shari Lapena.
