STAR RATINGS GUIDE
Julia Whelan as I’ve never heard her before
THE BIRDICT
💜 Tricky this. I imagine everyone knows the spoiler by now. If not, go. Go and listen to this book. Cancel all plans for the foreseeable and don’t look for spoilers. I’ll be here when you’re finished.
💛 Well? I know. Yep, it’s a shocker. It took me a day to pick my jaw up from the ground. The film’s good too btw. Overall this sticks out as one of the best thrillers I’ve read.
💚 With the exception of The Girl on the Train, there isn’t a book out there that has served as more frequent reference point. As in, ‘Perfect for fans of Gone Girl’. A comparison of a different kind is the one to the real life case of Scott and Lacey Peterson. The connection between the two is part of what made the story so interesting, although it did not inspire this.
SQUAWKING THE TALK
🎧 Both Julia Whelan and Kirby Heyborne are excellent in this. But seriously, wow. Julia Whelan is outstanding. I’ve always enjoyed her performances, but her depiction of Amy is masterful.

That turning point. That moment when we meet the real Amy, is one of the stand out moments in my listening history. The framing of Nick Dunn is so brilliantly conceived. I have always felt that it plays on the doubts of other convictions in controversial instances like that of Scott Peterson. It's that shadow of a doubt that's always there.
