Blackout

A Thriller

De: Erin Flanagan

Narrado por: Vivienne Leheny

In this unforgettable psychological thriller, the dark is a terrifying mystery for a woman on the edge.

Seven hard-won months into her sobriety, sociology professor Maris Heilman has her first blackout. She chalks it up to exhaustion, though she fears that her husband and daughter will suspect she’s drinking again. Whatever their cause, the glitches start becoming more frequent. Sometimes minutes, sometimes longer, but always leaving Maris with the same disorienting question: Where have I been?

Then another blackout lands Maris in the ER, where she makes an alarming discovery. A network of women is battling the same inexplicable malady. Is it a bizarre coincidence or something more sinister? What do all the women have in common besides missing time? Or is it who they have in common?

In a desperate search for answers, Maris has no idea what’s coming next—just the escalating paranoia that her memories may be beyond her control, and that everything she knows could disappear in the blink of an eye.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Flanagan keeps the reader guessing to the surprising climax. She remains a writer to watch.”—Publishers Weekly

“Intense and creepy, Blackout is a slow-burn thriller that explores the intersection of cutting-edge technology and the Me Too movement. You won’t be able to put Blackout down until you find out how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together!”—Aggie Blum Thompson, author of I Don’t Forgive You

Good

One of the better books I have listened to in the last year. It was intriguing.

Great storyline tainted with WOKENESS

Great psychological thriller idea and clearly well researched. The toxic masculinity, white privilege, rape culture, women as victims, throw in a lesbian relationship, BLM, and Michael Obama (no typo)... oh, so tiring and completely unnecessary to prop up the story line. Well written and intriguing but the author needs to reign in her sucursal justice BS - just because you can doesn't really should. No big surprise that the author is an academic who doesn't live in the real world.

Note to author - you are clearly talented. Continue with the stories! Just ditch the indignant female oppression that is not what the MSM and social justice warriors try to convince us it is.

Too slow

The story was really slow to develop. The main characters were not strong. For some reason, when I was reading it was hard to be entertained. It could be because I’m trying a different genre than I usually read, but this definitely turned me off from reading thrillers.

Nail biter until the end

This book was intense and a nail biter until the end. I couldn't stop until the end. I enjoyed this thriller!

Kept me guessing

I enjoyed the storyline. It was intricate but not overwhelming , so you couldn't follow it. I enjoyed the down to earth characters, all had some normal character flaws, something to relate to. I enjoyed this author.
