Listened via Audible. 

This was very dark to the point of did I want to continue due to the main topic of the book… 

However, the story itself was narrated amazingly by the two narrators. Especially Laura, she made her feel so realistic and just how like a sociopath would potentially sound like? 

Can’t knock John Marrs, he’s the king of thrillers. 

Just please check TW as there is a lot of talk about suicide and death.
