YOU CAN'T CATCH ME

Narrator Julia Whelan captures all the nuances of this twisty psychological thriller, which tackles cults, family, identity, and revenge. When she was just a teenager, Jessica Williams escaped the cult she was raised in, eventually becoming a well-known reporter. Despite some missteps, she is doing okay until she meets a woman with her name and birth date. Too late Jessica realizes she's been conned; now all she wants is to make the other Jessica pay for what she's done. Whelan, a master at conveying characters' feelings and personalities, credibly delivers Jessica's complex personality and reactions--from her steely resolve to expose the con and regain her assets to the pain and fear of her unconventional childhood. Whelan skillfully builds the suspense as Jessica's plan unfolds. C.B.L. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2020]
