Narrator Steven Weber is the perfect match for this thriller, which blends plot twists and suspense in equal portions. Simon and Ingrid Greene, a successful and apparently perfect couple, find their lives falling apart in the most dramatic of ways when their drug-addicted daughter disappears after dropping out of college. With seeming ease, Weber voices the cast of characters, who range from the most privileged to those at the edges of society. His characterizations mainly employ authentic-sounding accents and changes in tone. His timing helps to build the ever-increasing suspense, allowing the listener to savor every twist of the Greenes' situation. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine

In this twisty standalone novel read by veteran Steven Weber, New York money manager Simon Greene has been looking for his daughter Paige for months when he spots her strung out and playing guitar in Central Park. Convinced that her abusive boyfriend is controlling her, Simon tries to approach her in a confrontation that goes viral and sends Paige on the run through a dangerous world that Simon cannot protect her from. Weber's narration is suspenseful and he handles a rather large cast of characters adeptly, giving a distinct and appropriate voice to each one. He's also skilled at pacing, reading with an increasing intensity that brings the story to its breakneck conclusion, and smoothing over a plot that can sometimes be quite uneven. A pleasure to listen to. Copyright 2020 Booklist Reviews.
