  • MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT by Riley Sager, read by Santino Fontana

    MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT by Riley Sager, read by Santino Fontana
    Sep 20 2024
    Narrator Santino Fontana delivers Riley Sager’s trademark psychological suspense. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Kendra Winchester discuss this twisty thriller that’s a great slow-burn mystery with a touch of the paranormal. It’s 1994, and 10-year-old Ethan and his best friend, Billy, camp out in Ethan’s backyard. The night will tragically be remembered as the night Billy was taken from the tent while his best friend slept beside him. Thirty years later, Ethan reluctantly returns to his childhood home. Immersive storytelling helps listeners follow dual timelines. Fontana’s expressive tone enhances the multiple points of view. Read our review of the audiobook at our website.
