DISCLAIMER

Imagine opening a book of fiction and discovering that it's about you--and a secret you thought you'd kept to yourself for years. Renée Knight's deeply disturbing psychological thriller is expertly narrated by Michael Pennington and Laura Paton. Both narrators, particularly Pennington, begin with understated performances that may provide a barrier to some listeners. However, their performances soon ramp up in a way that matches the story itself as layers upon layers of complexity and deception are revealed. The narration moves quickly from somewhat unengaging to utterly consuming. By that time, listeners will regret anything that takes them away from the story.
