The Sleep Tight Motel

Lisa Unger is a NYT best selling author, and indeed this is a well-written story. Unfortunately, the narration by Amy Landon is so bad that I nearly stopped listening just a few minutes into the story. I'm glad I didn't. The story carried the day. But I won't buy another book narrated by Landon. Her voice is robotic with no warmth.

So back to the story. A young woman, fleeing from an abusive boyfriend, pulls into an out-of-the way motel. The owner is very attentive to her needs, and she wants to like him. But she's got to get back on the road. Unfortunately, her car won't start and she is stuck. This is really where the story begins to unfold. To go any further would be to introduce spoilers. You'll have to read it for yourself. I do recommend reading it rather than listening to the audiobook. I think the experience will be much better.
