I really enjoyed Run Time. I previously listened to Catherine Ryan Howard's COVID lockdown thriller 56 Days and I knew I wanted to check this one out based on how much I liked it. Run Time did not disappoint. I throughly enjoyed the unique structure of this novel, interspersing sections of screenplay between chapters of regular narrative prose. A truly fresh take on the alternating timelines/POVs I often find tiresome in other books. Although a few minor aspects of the reveal/twist seemed strained to me, I nevertheless enjoyed the story very much. I've found that I enjoy listening to Irish crime novels, and other books set in locations removed from my own personal experience, far more that I enjoy reading them with my eyeballs due to the additional layer of detail and immersion added by the narrator. The readers for Run Time do not disappoint, making the Audible edition superior to the print in my personal opinion. I highly recommend Run Time to fans of thrillers and the film industry.
