Guess Again
by Charlie Donlea
challenging
dark
tense
fast-paced
A very aptly named book! I was guessing and guessing again and again and totally wrapped up in the story that kept growing twists like tentacles every other chapter until it all came together at the end with an extremely tense climax with a storm and a killer out for revenge and to finish their plans. It was fun to follow Ethan Hall along as he searched for the long vanished Callie Jones, faced off with a serial killer (who also killed his father) in a strict correctional prison and did his best to find a kidnapped woman before the clock ran down on her. There were players of a wicked plan playing the long game and so many switcheroos (which was part of why I had to keep revising my guess about who and why) that it was hard to take breaks from listening to this thrilling ride of a novel, especially when it all unraveled and the bodies started piling up! It was great to get the viewpoints of not just the people racing to find out the truth, but also the villains which really upped the tension. It also jumps back and forth from Callie's last days and the present so we can find out what actually happened to her (very heartbreaking!) The last secret was a real doozy as well and left a shocking sting but still hope for the good guys like Ethan and his partner Maddie to track down the killers together! And maybe a sequel soon to finish out the story?
The narrator, Vivienne Leheny, did a great job of bring yet another Charlie Donlea thriller murder to life and this was a great twisty world to get lost in as the truth of a missing girl and how the killer Francis was able to twist everything until it was upside down and backwards (thank goodness for Ethan and some handy friends!). Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to listen to this unstoppable audiobook that I will be listening to again and again!
