"Strong performances bring truth to this twisty, compelling audiobook. When Paul, a serial sexual abuser, is murdered, the prime suspect is his ex-girlfriend, Ana. Ana has a dark side, but she also has a dedicated support group of friends and family. Flashbacks between the present and her childhood with older sister Vera add to the puzzle. Performed by a superb ensemble cast, each fully developed character has a surprising connection to Paul and a credible motive for his murder, heightening the tension. Unger also weaves in fascinating plant lore, stories of wise women herbalists and healers accused of witchcraft, and a mysterious group known as "The Cove."
This highly original, cleverly plotted mystery will keep listeners glued to their earbuds."
