This is a novel readers will appreciate differently, depending on keenness for plot, action, and the pleasure of something new. My spouse chose “In A Dark, Dark Wood”, 2015, for me because it looks eerie. Darn, it has nothing to do with the woods or paranormal. Leonora's most passionate trait was for an old romance!

Very good in audio form - I'm sure written form as well. Imogen Church did a rockin job. The story was not exactly quickly paced but it didn't need to be; rather, the slower pace made it more psychologically intense. I like the author's choice to keep this singular point of view. Every wee once in awhile, the main character would frustrate me a bit, but that's a small side gripe as I liked her overall, she's just not that efficient with "speaking" especially with the police.
