RECAP: Years after surviving a childhood encounter with a serial killer known as The Hiding Man, Nola Strate tries to move on, hosting Night Watch, a radio show once run by her father. But when a caller describes an intruder who sounds chillingly familiar & strange events escalate around her, Nola fears the killer is back. With the police dismissing her, danger closing in, and suspicion even falling on her father, Nola must uncover the truth & face the monster from her past.

REVIEW: This is great for readers who enjoy a tense & fast-paced story, where the main character is unsure what’s real & what’s not. Audiobook has dual narration, which I was a fan of. You're plunged into the action almost immediately, but not in a way that's confusing. There are some flashbacks, but they're done well. I wouldn't say this is necessarily a horror book - maybe very light horror, IMO, but it's definitely suspenseful. Having the author's note at the start also helped give me a better appreciation for her writing and where she was coming from.
