Review
Charlie is a sweet girl but she is autistic. She has high goals and one is to escape her hometown as soon as she can. She works hard at the sandwich shop so she will have enough money to go to college. But when the owner of the sandwich shop is murdered, Charlie becomes a suspect and everything she strives for may be in jeopardy.
I love Charlie. She stole my heart from the very first! And her situation just makes you want to slap everyone in her orbit.
This is not my favorite Wendy Walker book. It is still a good read, it just did not seem to have her usual intensity. That being said, there are quite a few twists and turns I did not see coming. I can honestly say, this book had me guessing through most of it.
And the audiobook comes with a disclaimer…with strong language, violence, etc…to me…that is unnecessary. But people take offense to so much these days. Being the avid reader I am, I did not have ANY trouble with anything in this book. It is a fiction thriller, read it or not…(you will miss out if you don’t!) It’s free on audible! Run grab it!
Need a perplexing tale with a great character…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
