Possession by Katie Lowe

5.0

Possession by Katie Lowe is a captivating mystery surrounding Hannah a mother in her 40s whose husband was murdered 10 years ago. A young man was convicted for this murder, but Hannah has always been uncertain about what actually happened that night. Ten years later, a true crime podcast has cast doubt on the conviction and rallies for the case to be reopened. The story is told by Hannah with dual timelines, in the present and in the past leading up to the murder. Hannah's life becomes more isolated and it becomes clear she may not be a reliable narrator. Some points were a little slow, but the story was atmospheric, creepy, and compelling. I really liked the ending and had no idea what would happen. I listened to the audiobook which was masterfully narrated by Amy Scanlon, who sounded perfect for Hannah. This is a perfect isolated mystery for a cozy winter evening.

Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for providing this ARC.
