Glad you enjoyed this one! I thought it was very good and I’ve also read the next book, I SEE YOU. Liked that one a lot too. Bet the audio is well done.
I’m glad you thought this audio book was so well done, Pat. With such a disturbing premise, it would need to be well written (and read aloud).
Ah would make the ironing pass quickly when you have an audio that you are fully engaged in.
I enjoyed this book, too, and her next one. Thanks for sharing…and enjoy your week. Thanks for visiting my blog.
