About this listen
NOMINATED FOR THE BRAM STOKER AWARD FOR SUPERIOR NOVEL.
A novel of feminism taken to the ultimate limit by a woman who no longer has anything to lose.
First her husband killed their children, then himself. Now she's on her own, and she's bent on making sure it never happens to another woman. It's too late for her...she's already damaged. She's already caught in the depths of despair where only taking the law into her hands holds out any sort of relief. Yet when she stops the evil she's felt compelled to commit, the murders continue. Someone is a copycat, pinning crimes on her, stalking her, teasing her with his devious plan. She can't make him stop. There may be no way out of the trap she's created out of loss, out of desperation.
There's another problem - she's falling in love with the detective who is in charge of tracking her down. Life is a complex series of paradoxes, a spiral of fear and murder where nothing is as it seems.

Lisey lost her husband, Scott, two years ago, after a 25-year marriage of profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award-winning, best-selling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, Lisey knew there was a place Scott went - a place that both terrified and healed him, could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live. Now it’s Lisey’s turn to face Scott’s demons, to go to that terrifying place known as Boo’ya Moon.

Great Story Terrible Audio
Loved the story line, very intriguing and would make a great movie. What made it difficult to finish was the scratchy audio. Very terrible quality. Also, the narrator wasn't the best. This book needs to be re-recorded with a different narrator and better recording equipment. I deserve my credit back because of the poor quality.
