Many thanks to NetGalley, Flatiron Books, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of the new book by Julia Heaberlin (author of the wonderful We Are All the Same in the Dark) and narrated by the wonderful Karissa Vacker - 5 stars!
Vivvy Bouchet is always on the seesaw between science and the supernatural. When she was young, she saved a boy’s life by making an impossible prediction. Now a brilliant young astrophysicist, she wants nothing more than to be left alone with the stars in the Big Bend country of Texas. But the boy she saved, Mike, grew up to be a cop and he believes in her psychic abilities. While she's at home going through her mother's affairs, he begs for her help in solving an old case of a missing young girl whose mother sits in prison for the crime. A conspiracy theorist who has a radio show, Bubba Guns (gotta love that name!) invites her on and opens the floodgates of the media onto Vivvy's doorstep.
This is such a wonderful book, exploring that fine line of faith and science. Vivvy was raised by a mother who believed she had psychic abilities and has grown up listening to voices in her head. Beyond all that discussion is a taut mystery with lots of intriguing characters, haunting atmosphere, and plenty of twists to keep you on the edge of your seat. Another fabulous read by this author and Vacker's narration is pitch perfect as always - highly recommended!
