Picked up this novel because of its Audie finalist status in the multi-voice performance category.

It's a true crime novelistic account of the murder of a woman on a canoeing excursion in California. The suspect is Cleo Ray, a fitness coach who has created a life as a social media influencer. Or perhaps it is a novel written to sound like a true crime docuseries. I wasn't sure which. At any rate, it is riveting - very well done - if not particularly rewarding to spend any amount of time with Ms Ray. (

This was the perfect audiobook to listen to as I drove between houses as we moved. It was narrated by a full cast which really added to the enjoyment of this book. I really think this book might be better as an audio. It's the story of a young fitness influencer, Cleo Ray and her complicated life. She and her girlfriend, Beck go out in a remote lake. Beck ends up dead and Cleo is no where to be found. This story is done in a podcast form which makes it feel very realistic. Just very well done, very enjoyable and easy to get lost in...on other words, the perfect book for me during this time for me. Highly recommended! (

Listened to the audio book which was fun. (

Excellent full cast audiobook production and it suits the book’s format of the story being told like a docuseries/podcast.
But there is hardly any tension or character development, also plays into the cheating bisexual trope which wasn’t fun.

I've only ever listened to one podcast, not seen any of those true crime documentaries that have become so popular, so I totally surprised myself by how much I liked listening to this on audio. It starts as an investigation of a social media influencer accused of the murder of her girlfriend. There are many narrators in the cast but one soon becomes easily able to discern who is talking. A documentary filmaker soon enters the picture, and he follows this story to its conclusion. There is a trial, we hear from different witnesses and see exactly how the case is presented, prosecution and defense. I was completely gobsmacked by the ending. Yet, it made sense and completely brought everything full circle. Secrets, consequences and details of a life that was anything but easy brought to an ugly conclusion.

I don't think I would have liked this as much had I read instead of listened. The heard voices made it seem real.

ARC from Netgalley. (
