Girl on the Run

Daryl Wood Gerber Standalone Thrillers, Book 1

De: Daryl Wood Gerber

Narrado por: Tina Smith

From nationally bestselling author Daryl Wood Gerber comes a gripping new suspense!

When a fairytale fantasy night becomes a nightmare, Chessa Paxton must run for her life...but will the truth set her free? Chessa Paxton, an event planner in Lake Tahoe, celebrates a successful night at the Happily Ever After Ball, but her dream quickly becomes a nightmare when she wakes up beside the body of her dead husband. Nauseous and confused, feeling as if she's been drugged, she can't explain to the sheriff why her princess costume is bloodied.

With her father already a convicted murderer, she feels invisible shackles ratcheting onto her wrists and ankles. She runs! But she can't escape vivid flashes of memory: a massacre in a meadow; men and women in fairy tale costumes; Snow White’s dead body shielding her from bullets. Though Chessa is a former costumer and a master of disguise, she quickly learns that hiding while trying to prove herself innocent is the most difficult task imaginable. Especially when the sheriff wants to throw her in jail and the real killer wants to silence her forever.

Suspenseful

I had read this book when it first came out but now I listened to it. It was quite the suspenseful story! Listening while I walked made my walks much more interesting. I sometimes had to walk a while longer than I had planned because I was in the middle of an interesting part. The only problem was that sometimes it was hard to tell when the narrator had moved from being one person to the next. Her voice didn't change much between characters. But overall, it was a good listen and made my walks interesting.

A Clean, but Action-packed Suspense

This was my first brush with a suspense novel. I love that it is clean (no swearing), but still evokes emotions. The multiple uses of the word handicapped bothered me, as this is an outdated term. The correct term is "accessible", as in an accessible ramp. Although this isn't my genre of choice and I found myself losing focus several times, I would probably read or listen to another suspense by Daryl Wood Gerber. I thought the narration was flawless.

Great suspenseful story

There are so many twists in the thrilling tale of a girl on the run. It keeps you on your toes. Who is murder and who is the guy with tattoo on his neck. I highly recommend the audio book. It keeps you on your toes.
