If you're in the market for a hard core chiller, something you wouldn't want to tackle in the middle of a blizzard with the power out, especially if you are a fan of crime podcasts, Megan Lally's That's Not My Name should be on your summer reading list.
"I think I might be dead.
I try to gather my bearings, but I can't see. I feel nothing. Not even my own body. The lack of sensation, the way the silence wraps me in a hug and squeezes--it's unnerving. I want it to stop--
Until the pain comes."
An injured teenage girl finds herself in a ditch at night, not knowing where she is or how she got there...
...or even her own name...
A police officer finds her and brings her to the station. As he's checking missing person reports a man arrives who claims she's his daughter, Mary. He has enough documents to satisfy the officer who lets him take her to an isolated cabin on a mountain. He plays the role of loving father. But she quickly starts seeing red flags.
"I'll never give up on Lola, but how am I supposed to fight for her and myself at the same time? Roane said I was their last suspect. And knowing him, he won't stop until he's pieced together enough evidence to fit his version of events. Then I'll get arrested, and Lola will still be gone. How do I help her from behind bars?"
Drew had a late night argument with his girlfriend. She went running off into the night...
...and never made it home...
...now weeks later he feels like the police aren't doing enough to find her, like they've latched onto the boyfriend as killer theme and are trying to prove it instead of exercising due diligence in searching for her.
As the narratives alternate the suspense builds. There's no way they'll not intersect in a really grim grand finale. The question: just how grim and who will be left alive.
On a purrrsonal note, today was the first event for Amber's book, Little White Flowers. The Orono Public Library was the gracious host. Amber enjoyed their creative youth program during many of her growing up years. The event went really well. Amber read from her book and answered many questions from a very engaged audience--very well in my opinion. She had a prize drawing and autographed the books people purchases. Pictures were taken. It was quite a success. Now I have to set up more events.
A great big shout out goes out to Amber, the star 🌟 of the event and her very supportive husband, Brian.
