Had my attention the entire time!

The police have arrested Paul on suspicion of kidnapping and harming Terri. However, they can’t find Terri. Interrogating Paul only brings up more questions. He’s convinced that Terri is really his ex-girlfriend Missy, who he is still obsessed with. Who did what to whom? The police may never get the full story.

This was a clever little bit of fiction in which the reader is never quite sure who is telling the truth and who isn’t. Also in regards to Paul, his version of the facts may be a bit skewed. At first, I was totally on Terri’s side, believing Paul to be a bit unhinged. However, later my sympathies shifted a bit. I still thought Paul was a bit unhinged but Terri obviously wasn’t being totally forthcoming.

If you need just a short break from your humdrum life, this is a great short piece of psychological thriller. There’s a few bloody scenes but it’s not a gorefest at all. I decided in the end that while I didn’t want to be best buds with any of the characters, I did find them quite interesting. There’s definitely something more going on than what first meets the eye.

The Narration: Rick Gregory did a really great job playing an unhinged Paul. He portrayed the various emotions quite well and sounded engaged in the story all the way through. His female character voices could use a touch more femininity.

This was a very good short story with a twist.Rick Gregory gave a nice performance as narrator.“I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Excellent for a short mystery!

This very short book was really enjoyable with the unexpected twists. Both the author and narrator were new to me. The narrator did not use different voices for the various characters. I was surprised by the ending. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it.

Don't Call Me Victim? I'm Not Sure What This Is...

The book didn't make sense to me...perhaps something was lost in editing. Or maybe it's too deep for me.

A bright point is the discovery of Rick Gregory's narration. His performance was solid and I look forward to future work.

Confusing Short Story

Any additional comments?

I think in order to really understand what happened in this tale, I'd have to give it another listen (which I'm not inclined to do). This is a short mystery/thriller story about a stalker and his "victim." It has a nice twist ending but we don't really get to enjoy the details of what happened - there is no satisfying conclusion to this one for me. I probably wouldn't recommend this book; a story this short should be understood on the first listen and the narration was only okay. The narrator didn't do a good job of differentiating the voices of the characters.
