Until Morning Comes

A story that we're all familiar with (the Epstein scandal) in the hands of an intuitive & empathetic writer like [a:Jonathan Epps 19787896 Jonathan Epps https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1638136449p2/19787896.jpg] can take the reader down unexplored yet very satisfying narrative tangents. Instead of giving headspace, for the umpteenth time to these predatory men, the author chooses to narrate the bulk of the story from the POV of two of the victims who perforce became coconspirators in the crimes. Who were these girls/young women? What about their backgrounds made them easy prey for the likes Maxime (Ghislaine) & Jeffrey? What price do you pay when you don't have a childhood to speak of, when it's stolen and perverted? The author explores these questions incisively and sensitively. Recommended. * I did the audio narrated by [a:Molly Secours 22037466 Molly Secours https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png] which I enjoyed very much except for two negligible things: a) there are a few instances in which she seems a smidge tentative in her delivery. Perhaps it's a narrative choice? b) The engineering/production could use some polishing up, but nothing that will detract from the enjoyment of the story.
