I loved this mashup of themes and threads from stories like Misery and Game of Thrones with hints of Ruthless People (anyone else old enough to remember this movie?). While the plot dances a bit around attraction between Bridget and Ajay, this is much more of a thriller/suspense focus than romance – which I enjoyed.

I adore that Henry’s writing brings the perspectives of all the characters, not just the protagonists. It seems like it would ruin the plot, but I like the depth it adds. I can’t imagine how much fun it must be to have an author as a main character. Especially getting to put all those complaints about deadlines, writer’s block, and how they may not always enjoy “the business” in the book.

It’s so realistic that Bridget isn’t just an unexplained super spy or immediately believed by the adults in her life. I think my favorite parts are where she just Googles how to do things. Relatable.

A fun ride and wonderful listen.

Narration:
Amy McFadden did a wonderful job with a huge cast of characters. I always enjoy her suspense narrations and this was no exception.
