This book would have you believe that there are killers everywhere, surrounding us in our daily lives. There are no less than three here, all of whom live in the same geographic region and fixate on the same circle of people. Suspension of disbelief is impossible with a premise like that.
I did enjoy the depictions of PTSD. Dana's and John's struggles were authentic. I also appreciated that the book talks about the kinds of expectations society places on survivors, specifically the way we romanticize women survivors but alienate them once they exhibit any true signs of trauma. That doesn't often get addressed in fiction or film.
But the coincidental premise is just too much. Compounding it is Julia Whelan's narration, which employs a cartoon motif to each male voice. Almost as if she were reading to children. W t ffffffff.
