8.12.2022 - The Blame Game

The Blame Game 

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press Minotaur Books and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the latest thriller by Sandie Jones, wonderfully narrated by a favorite of mine, Karissa Vacker - 4 stars!

Naomi is a psychotherapist specializing in domestic abuse, having survived her own terrible childhood.  She is working with Jacob, a man who is being abused by his wife and is terrified; as well as with Anna, struggling after the loss of her son and disintegration of her marriage.  Both of these patients need her help and she struggles to draw the line about getting too involved.  But when Jacob's files go missing from her office and then he goes missing, the spotlight of suspicion points right to Naomi.

This was another fast-paced thriller by Sandie Jones.  There are plenty of twists and turns and I was kept guessing until the epilogue wrapped everything up!  There aren't any real likable characters here, although I certainly felt for Naomi and her desperation to help others out of bad situations.  The audio narration was perfect - Karissa Vacker is a master of different voices and I found myself gravitating to the audio more than the digital copy.  Pick this one up for any remaining trips to the beach this summer!
