STAR RATINGS GUIDE
Twisted Me Round Its Little Finger
THE BIRDICT
š§” So. I was Tow-Tally unprepared for this. I started off thinking this was a Devil-Wears-Prada situation. Girl in NYC gets job with nightmare uber glam boss. Non-spoiler alert: It isnāt. Nor is it a standard thriller.
š This is a story of the dark side of grief, of mental illness and the lengths some to which some will go to save face. It is also a shocking indictment of making people pay for healthcare.
š Itās definitely a psychological thriller, but with the emphasis on psychological. It has the claustrophobia of Misery and the Prada of The Devil Wears and a twist that will buy my chiropractor a yacht.
Big thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK Audio for providing me with an ALC in return for an honest review.
SQUAWKING THE TALK
š§ Emma Ashton delivers a gothic-style performance that keeps the tension ratcheted up. The whole production was so moreish, I sped through it in a day.
