Georgia Cartwright has been accused of murdering her sister and is currently locked away in a psychiatric institution awaiting trial. When her estranged twin, Amanda, visits, Georgia says only one thing: “I didn’t do it.” It’s up to Amanda to piece together the mystery and uncover the truth that could set her sister free.
Sarah Pekkanen once again delivers a twisty mystery that kept me guessing until the very end in this advanced listening copy. The story is told in dual POV and narrated by January LaVoy, who does a fabulous job bringing each character to life. However, the shift between first-person and second-person narration felt a bit jarring at times. I found it distanced me slightly from the tension I expected, particularly in Georgia’s sections. Still, the unique structure and gripping premise make this a compelling and memorable listen.
