3.13.2023 - The Protege

The Protégé by Jody Gehrman 

Many thanks to NetGalley, Crooked Lane Books and Dreamscape Media for gifting me an audio ARC of the new thriller by Jody Gehrman and wonderfully narrated by Cindy Kay and Jess Nahikian - 4 stars!

Dr. Hannah Bryers, anthropology professor and forensics expert at the prestigious Mad River University,  While she's at the top of her field and is comfortable around the dead bodies she works with, she struggles socially and has only two friends she can count on.  Winter Jones is Hannah's teaching assistant and her top student.  But Winter has an ulterior motive - to destroy Hannah's life.

This is a book where you know the villain from the beginning, but the thrill comes from watching it play out.  Told in alternating POV of both Hannah and Winter, you can see the toll that Winter's actions are taking as she becomes distrustful of those around her.  We slowly learn Winter's reason behind er hatred of Hannah and her desire for revenge.  This was a twisty one and the narration was great as well.
