Firstly, I need to point out I listened to this rather than read it, and we all know an audiobook is made or unmake by its narrator. I really enjoyed the narration of the characters with this edition and felt instantly charmed by the characters. There is something intriguing about this story, from the secrets to the conspiracies to the bouncing puppy who doesn’t know how to behave. It definitely made my drives to work 100% more enjoyable.
Cassie is a woman in her 50s with a pretty clear cut case of empty nest syndrome, which is not helped by her less than useless husband. So, when Cassie finally breaks she finds herself searching for answers she didn’t know she needed. Her whole life has been shaped by a bridge collapse when she was 3 and 50 years on, it’s time to find out what really happened. In particular, how can a giant, red eyed moth could be connected to that bridge.
What I will say is I found the ending a little rushed. It was all tied up well but considering the chapters are entitled “ reckoning” I felt a tad underwhelmed. Especially when Cassie confronts her aunt. But other than that I really enjoyed the story and the pace and the dog!
Happy reading
