My review:
Grady & Abby
A year after Abby disappears, Grady and his faithful dog, Colombo, are off to Scotland to try to write his next bestseller. Then he starts getting weird things delivered to him, and thinks he sees Abby. Is he going crazy or could Abby be on this picturesque island, too?
The locked room (island) is well done. No phones, a bunch of weird islanders and the ferry rarely visiting gave it a creepy vibe.
The prologue was super intriguing and the twist was twistable, but I can’t say I was blown away. It’s quite the slow burn as the author really built up the suspense making us wait for ages. It did do a pretty good job of keeping me engaged, though. Perhaps because it was due to the well done audio version. Even though I do seem to be a bit of an outlier I’m sure this one will be a big hit.
Side note ~ Colombo is safe throughout!
Narration notes:
2, woo hoo! They did great. I love when there are added side effects when they are on the phone to make it sound like they really are on the phone. Appreciate the extra pizzazz.
