Many thanks to NetGalley and MacMillan Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of the new book by Margarita Montimore, narrated by a wonderful ensemble cast of characters - 5 stars!
Ten years ago, famous musician Violet Volk performed her most famous act of all - disappearing mid-show without a trace. The public still can't get enough of wondering what happened - is she still alive? Is she dead? Something else? Her sister, Sasha, was always the responsible one and she stayed at home, took over her mom's beauty salon, got married and has a daughter set to graduate college. But she can't escape the publicity around Violet's disappearance and everyone always assumes she knows more than she is saying.
I adored this audiobook - it made the story come alive. The story is told in alternating points of view between Sasha and Cameron Frank, host of a podcast centered on Violet's disappearance. There are also snippets of correspondence between other characters and the audio sound effects just made those fun. This was also a nod to sci-fi - the nerd in me loved the mention of X Files vs Fringe or Star Trek vs Doctor Who. Plus, it was such a masterful mix of family drama, mystery, magic history and women's roles. Don't miss this one!
