A review by barb4ry1
After Dark by Minka Kent

4.0

The story revolves around two childhood friends, Afton and Sydney, after Afton was convicted of killing Sydney's father. Two decades ago, Afton stabbed her mother's lover, Coach Rick Carson, claiming a blackout. Reduced to voluntary manslaughter by her public defender, Afton struggles with mental health, while Sydney deals with a troubled marriage.

A million lottery win adds a twist, but Afton's reality isn't necessarily the reality others live in.

The final twist is solid (though not shocking) and since the book is rather short and well-paced it's devorable in one or two sittings.

Format: Audiobook, at 2 x speed. The narrator does a great job here.
