THE ACCOMPLICE

Lisa Flanagan is a talented narrator, and it shows in this complicated story of a college friendship that ends up having lifelong ramifications. She transitions smoothly between Luna and Owen, an unlikely pair who remain besties well into midlife. Flanagan shines as she capably portrays Owen's confidence and Luna's standoffishness, many times in the same sentence. Listeners who are looking for something new in the crime genre will lean into this title. Not completely classifiable--perhaps we could call it a cross between women's fiction and a thriller--this is a unique story told by a confident narrator who deftly guides us through the twists and turns of Luna and Owen's friendship--and the several murders that follow them.
