Reeling, desperate for distraction, Anna returns to the podcast. Other people's problems are much better than one's own -- a sunken yacht, a murdered family, a hint of international conspiracy. But this case actually is Anna's problem. She knows one of the victims from an earlier life, a life she's taken great pains to leave behind. And she is convinced that she knows what really happened.
Then an unexpected visitor arrives on her front stoop, a meddling neighbor intervenes, and life as Anna knows it is well and truly over. The devils of her past are awakened -- and in hot pursuit. Convinced she has no other options, she goes on the run, and in pursuit of the truth, with a washed-up musician at her side and the podcast as her guide.
My review: "There is warmth and comfort in hearing about people in worse situations than your own."
In this book we are introduced to Anna McDonald who seems to have it all. A successful lawyer husband, a beautiful home, 2 beautiful little girls. But is life ever idyllic in novels? Anna has a past. A past that she's been running from. And while she's running from her past, people are running to hurt her.
I really enjoyed this book! Being a Reese's Book Club December selection, I was going to read it regardless (my 2019 goal was to read all the books she chose) and this one definitely didn't disappoint. It had mystery. It has thrilling moments. It has a podcast similar to my favorite podcast My Favorite Murder.
This one isn't staying in my collection but not because I didn't like it. I actually donated it to my library and I hope the patrons enjoy this one as much as I did.
Have you read this? What did you think?
