8.1.2023 - Gone Tonight

Gone Tonight by Sarah Pekkanen 

Many thanks to NetGalley, St Martin's Press and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the new thriller by Sarah Pekkanen, wonderfully narrated by Kate Mara - 5 stars!

After finishing school, Catherine is set to begin her dream nursing  job in Baltimore, when she discovers that her mother, Ruth, is suffering from Alzheimer's.  She changes her plans and continues working at the nursing home nearby so she can help her mom.  Ruth and Catherine have moved so many times and Ruth is estranged from her family.  Catherine has no real clue about her past, and with Ruth's memory failing, becomes obsessed with finding more information about her past. 

The story spools out in the past and present timelines and alternates between the POV of Ruth and Catherine.  And wow - the twists and surprises kept coming!  I started reading the digital copy but switched to the audio so I could continue listening all the time.  I don't want to give anything away - it was so deliciously creepy and surprising in all the best ways - a great read!
