Sing Her Down by Ivy Pochoda
3.0
Thank you so much to NetGalley & Macmillan Audio for the ALC in exchange for an honest review!
When I saw this was described as a Western, I wasn't expecting to want to listen to it, but if all Westerns are like this, then count me in! I've been very into feminist thrillers lately and this is no exception. Two inmates released early due to the pandemic leads to a cat-and-mouse game between the two and a detective on the hunt for them both. But every woman has anger. Every woman has fear. Every woman has violence. Every woman has rage. The only difference is how we choose to manage them, and I thought the perspectives in this story showed that well.
Overall, I did enjoy this book. However, I find some books, based on the plot and multiple POVs, can be better if read vs, listened to, and I think this is one of them. While the narration was spectacular, Sophie Amoss especially, I think I got a little lost throughout the book and having pages to flip back to and reread may have been able to offer me a bit more clarity.
3 stars!
