"Then he sees what his intruder holds. Now. Now the fear comes."
This was a fun read. I listened to it as an audiobook through Scribd, a subscription I'm currently enjoying. It was nice being able to listen to it as I did small tasks around the house or doing my normal morning & evening self-care routines. Murder-mystery-thriller books hadn't been on my reading radar until recently. I knew about a lot, but I wasn't necessarily itching to pick up any books from those genres. That is until recently when I gave The Book of Cold Cases a try earlier this month.
I found it so interesting how the book is set up, and it really lent a hand to the atmosphere of the book. A missing brother. Neighbors unwilling to talk. A worn-out journalist. A girl just trying to put these pieces together to find her brother in a foreign country. What else could a reader ask for?
This book covers so many topics in a way that flows nicely. Foley also addresses these issues in a way that's palatable for a reader but isn't over-the-top or garish. I found the audiobook the best way to read this since it was a full cast and you really get a sense of each individual who's directly involved with Jess and Ben.
