About this listen

What if you couldn't remember the worst night of your life? What if you couldn't forget it?

May 13, 1994.

On her 13th birthday, newly orphaned Evie witnesses a brutal attack at the hanging tree. She wakes the next morning on a bus to Los Angeles, dazed, bruised, and desperate to remember. Her best friend died that night - she's sure of it. But there's no body, no crime scene, and no witnesses. Twenty-three years later, the whole night is still a blur. The murderer, a faceless, nameless man.

Fresh out of a stint in juvie, Butch kills a girl, strangles her. Twenty-three years later, he walks out of prison a free man. But a haunted one, the ghost of his past at his heels.

When another body turns up at the hanging tree - a girl, strangled - Evie is certain her lost memory holds the key. Can Butch help her find the faceless man? Or is he hiding the darkest secret of all?

The 12 hours long story is dark, very dark. 12 hours is a bit too long for the story in my opinion, I would have prefered 8 hours for this story-arc, but hey, I enjoyed it. I appreciate the writing style of the writer. The text seems to be written by someone clever, social, humorous and imagenative. By reading this book I really got to like to writer!

It was nice to have a couple of narrator´s. They did a good job, though I am not a big fan of Butch (Brad). One narrator did a great job: Kristin James. Somehow I wish she narrated the book all by herself. There are some minor shortcomings in the story, but not at all bothersome.

A good book overall! Intriguing writer! I am looking forward to her other books!

I do have to add: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A long well read dark story!

This was an interesting listen. It was nice have the 2 main characters read by different people. Made it easier to hear the different parts.

It has a different ending to what you expect, which made it a nice difference.

Very Different
