Another thriller book club pick, I went with the audio by Vivienne Lehany. It was done pretty well overall.
The elephant on the page for me, was that this is the first experience I have ever had with 9/11 being a plot point in a fictional story. I didn't think it was misused or advantageous or anything like that, it just feels weird seeing something I lived through used as history. In some respects, it's even a brave undertaking as it's something that's bound to draw scrutiny.
A famous novelist is found dead. The woman likely to be indicted for the killing, goes missing the day of 9/11, last seen inside one of the towers. Right before the 20th anniversary, with new technology, a piece of DNA is identified and is a match for the missing woman, Victoria. This leads the novel down a winding path of twists and turns surrounding the supposed guilt.
Enjoyable and engaging, but does feel like there is a bit too much thrown in. I love thrillers, but I don't feel there needs to be an entire melting pot of ideas. If done well, not everything needs to be a twist.
Personally a 4/5*.

Want to first thank Netgalley and publishers for giving me the chance to listen to this book. I will be honest, I am not a big fan of detective books and the beginning was a bit rocky for me. The descriptions sometimes tended to go on way too long. I did listen to this and towards the end I was ready to give this a negative review but the TWISTS this book makes is... wow. There is something that other writers can take notes on when writing.
Honestly, Charlie could have made this a series and I would have followed it.
