The Pen Pal

A West Virginia Mystery

De: Storm Young

Narrado por: Marie Hathaway

The Pen Pal follows the story of Shiloh Ray, who is a military wife, new mother, and college student. Shiloh also suffers from postpartum depression and overall loneliness from living in rural Alaska, far away from any family or friends.

Shiloh then breaks out of her comfort zone and signs up for a pen pal. Weeks pass and she is matched with Penelope Young. This is where her whole life will change. Shiloh and Penelope become the best of friends and write letters every week. Until one day, the letters just stop. Penelope has vanished.

Shiloh cannot handle the thought of losing her best friend, so she flies across the country to figure out what she did wrong, or what happened to Penelope. Once she gets there, she finds out from Penelope’s husband that she is missing. Shiloh takes matters into her own hands, finding out the truth of what happened to her friend. Shiloh will follow clues and figure out the truth, no matter the cost. She also meets a few unexpected friends along the way to help her. Shiloh and her friends will face many challenges and have to race against the clock to find out the truth before someone else covers it up.

Trigger warning! There is talk of suicidal thoughts and mental illness.

Great story set in my home town!

Loved it! Great mystery, also loved hearing about locations that were in my home town.

“Penelope!”

This story is truly riveting and compelling as I stayed up all night listening to this on audio. Being a military brat myself, born and raised in the south, I was instantly mesmerized by this storyline. The characters in this book all has unique qualities as the writing was pure bliss! I was at the edge of my seat a lot of the time and left me wanting more. The narrator did a stellar job s as well bringing these characters to life. I will be on the lookout for more of Storm’s novels and enjoyed the narration immensely! Now, off to bed.

The horrible narrator/ editing

This was the worst audiobook I’ve listened to, ever. The story was interesting and seemed like it could’ve had more in it. That wasn’t what was bad about the audiobook, it was the narrator. The editing was horrible and many places had repeated sentences like it wasn’t recorded in one sitting but not edited to be seamless.
