Following Dan Garvie, we see how his life was shaped by coming in contact with a serial killer as a kid. He has struggled with the guilt of feeling as though he didn't do enough which leads to him becoming a criminal profiler. He soon begins to investigate the mysterious death of his father which brings him back to his close-call as a child.
I loved how this book weighed the consequences of both action and inaction. How one simple choice can alter the course of not only your life, but others as well. For better and for worse. Dan, deeply battling his guilt, strives to make up for his inaction as a child. It really fuels him as a person and it was interesting to see how things could come full circle.
This book kept me guessing which kept me incredibly interested. This wasn't a book that I found easy to figure out. The characters were complex, which I liked. I don't want to spoil anything, but these characters had me feeling an array of conflicting emotions. This book also reiterated the importance of speaking up when you feel that something is wrong.
The mystery and the investigation kept me on my toes and I felt invested in this storyline.
This book was narrated by Shane Zaza and I adored his narration. I hope to listen to future books narrated by Shane. He spoke clearly and with inflection. His voice was also relaxing to listen to.
Thank you to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ALC. All opinions are my own.
