8.16.2022 - Run Time

Run Time

Many thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the new thriller by Catherine Ryan Howard - 4 stars!

Adele Rafferty is down on her luck, working as a waitress in LA, after having a breakdown on her last acting job.   When she is contacted about a last-minute acting job in West Cork, she jumps at the chance to hopefully resume her acting career and her life.  The setting is very remote, in the middle of the woods, with a sparse crew.  Things just don't seem right from the beginning.  And they are only going to get worse.

This was a bit confusing - it's about a book within another book in a movie.  All with different but similar character names.  It was a bit long too which seemed to add to the confusion.   But it was a solid creepy thriller - nothing like filming a horror movie in the midst of the dark woods when everything seems to be going wrong.  This author's last book, 56 Days, was one of my favorites from last year so I went into this one with super high expectations.  I'm already anxious awaiting her next!
