My Thoughts:  
 
The author wrote an excellent thriller/mystery featuring believable characters and an engaging story line. Although some readers may find the story disturbing due to its violent content, I thoroughly enjoyed the novella. The audiobook narrator did a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life, allowing me to feel their emotions as I listened. I finished the book during my daily walk and found myself walking faster as the story progressed, so I walked further that day. The characters interacted well with one another, and I was pleasantly surprised by the ending. I had a few questions, but the author addressed them in the epilogue. It is always nice to read or listen to an interesting book with a plot that is not boring and is well-written.
