 My library used to send out a weekly newsletter with all the books they ordered. I saw the authors book on the list and thought that sounded interesting. And it was. Down the rabbit hole I went, reading all his books. I’ve never been disappointed. Today’s new realness is no exception.

It’s a complicated and layered story that was easy to read. I connected with Ethan from the start. I wanted to know more about what made him tick, his relationship his Dad, and how the interactions with his Dad’s killer would develop.

There was such an interesting cat and mouse game going on. As I kept trying to guess how this would conclude, I didn’t even end up close to the outcome. And that twist. Never saw it coming.

I was rapt from the start. So much so that I then listened when the book came out in audio. It didn’t hurt that Vivienne Leheny is the narrator. I always enjoy listening to her and she did a great job with this one. I loved it the second time around as much as the first.

Botha five star read and listen from me. And maybe the start of a new series? I could definitely revisit Ethan and his new normal.
