I also really liked that the book explored the ongoing risks posed by an abusive partner after the fact, such as the risk of reputational harm, and really clearly illustrated the devastating impacts even just the thought of risking this can bring. As well, there were some interesting reflections on the ethics of the podcast - and the podcaster. With that in mind, it does have quite an ambiguous ending, so if you like certainty and answers, this might not be for you. Otherwise, rock on.

I loved the story. I love mysteries, true crime podcasts, and for all its flaws my state of Texas. This book was funny and dark and mysterious with a flawed protagonist. A quick moving story that kept me hooked in from the very first page. Highly recommend.
Looking forward to more of Amy Tintera.

I enjoyed this thriller a lot! It’s kind of crass and the characters are sarcastic and a bit twisted at times, but I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoyed Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty.
