BY AUTHOR CATHERINE RYAN HOWARD
NARRATED BY ALANA KERR COLLINS & JOHN KEETING
THE DETAILS❐
❐ A BOOK WITHIN A BOOK❐ SERIAL KILLER MYSTERY❐ WHERE YOU ALREADY KNOW WHO THE KILLER IS❐ DUAL POV'S❐ GRAPHIC DEPICTIONS OF VIOLENT CRIMES❐ LENGTH OF AUDIO - 9 HOURS, 54 MINUTES
❐ I LISTENED TO AN ADVANCED LISTENER COPY VIA NETGALLEY IN EXCHANGE FOR A HONEST REVIEW
MY THOUGHTS❐
FULL DISCLOSURE: I had an advanced listener copy of this through Netgalley, but there App's usability is so poor that I used a credit for this on Audible. I'm not fully upset about this, either...since it was so freaking good. I guess that answers the question they ask you on Netgalley --would I buy this for myself or a friend?
The narration by Alana Kerr Collins and John Keeting was performed swimmingly by both and made the audio of this book a treat. They made both the victim of the Nothing Man and the Nothing Man himself come to life.
I had no clue that I would like a crime fiction/murder mystery where you, the reader, already know who he is...and you're even privy to what makes him tick. Doesn't sound like much of a mystery when you know all this from the very beginning, right? The real mystery at work here is when will the victim (Even Black), from long ago when she was just a child, figure out who he is because she is so very determined to figure it out...and what will ultimately happen to her and him when she does.
The book within a book thing was so very clever and overall this was a satisfying, and refreshingly different story...even the epilogue was cleverly executed.
