Many thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of the latest thriller by Sarah Pinborough, with the audiobook narrated by the amazing Saskia Maarleveld. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Anna is living with her family in a small town in Nebraska, hoping for a fresh start. But there’s a cloud hanging over the town, and it’s not rain. Two young women have been murdered exactly three years apart, and the anniversary is coming up. Even though the murders were supposedly solved, people are still talking. Anna’s young sister is scared, and her elderly grandmother with dementia is having strange episodes. Something strange is happening.
I listened to the audiobook and Saskia Maarleveld once again nailed the narration of this novel, making it feel like there’s an entire cast. This is a creepy, intense story where you’re never exactly sure who or what to believe. Anna has her own demons and secrets and struggles to take care of her sister and grandmother as well as make peace with her mother. The small-town atmosphere is a character as well, with an ominous feeling throughout. A slow-burn, creepy novel leading to an explosive ending.
