Acerca de esta escucha
A newlywed librarian begins to suspect the man she married might be a murderer—in this spectacularly twisty and deviously clever novel by Peter Swanson, New York Times bestselling author of The Kind Worth Killing and Eight Perfect Murders.
Martha Ratliff conceded long ago that she’d likely spend her life alone. She was fine with it, happy with her solo existence, stimulated by her work as a librarian in Maine. But then she met Alan, a charming and sweet-natured salesman whose job took him on the road for half the year. When he asked her to marry him, she said yes, even though he still felt a little bit like a stranger.
A year in and the marriage was good, except for that strange blood streak on the back of one of his shirts he’d worn to a conference in Denver. Her curiosity turning to suspicion, Martha investigates the cities Alan visited over the past year and uncovers a disturbing pattern—five unsolved cases of murdered women.
Is she married to a serial killer? Or could it merely be a coincidence? Unsure what to think, Martha contacts an old friend from graduate school for advice. Lily Kintner once helped Martha out of a jam with an abusive boyfriend and may have some insight. Intrigued, Lily offers to meet Alan to find out what kind of man he really is . . .but what Lily uncovers is more perplexing and wicked than they ever could have expected.

Historia
Hen and her husband, Lloyd, have settled into a quiet life in a new house outside of Boston, Massachusetts. Hen (short for Henrietta) is an illustrator and works out of a studio nearby and has found the right meds to control her bipolar disorder. Finally, she’s found some stability and peace. But when they meet the neighbors next door, that calm begins to erode as she spots a familiar object displayed on the husband’s office shelf. The sports trophy looks exactly like one that went missing from the home of a young man who was killed two years ago.

Nine strangers receive a list with their names on it in the mail. Nothing else, just a list of names on a single sheet of paper. None of the nine people know or have ever met the others on the list. They dismiss it as junk mail, a fluke—until very, very bad things begin happening to people on the list. First, a well-liked old man is drowned on a beach in the small town of Kennewick, Maine. Then, a father is shot in the back while running through his quiet neighborhood in suburban Massachusetts. A frightening pattern is emerging, but what do these nine people have in common?

Poe Webb, host of a popular true crime podcast, invites people to anonymously confess crimes they’ve committed to her audience. She can’t guarantee the police won’t come after her “guests,” but her show grants simultaneous anonymity and instant fame—a potent combination that’s proven difficult to resist. After an episode recording, Poe usually erases both criminal and crime from her mind. But when a strange and oddly familiar man appears on her show, Poe is forced to take a second look.

**SPOILER TERRITORY**
Other reviews do an excellent job talking about the plot, the twists and the turns. In theory, I liked the story until about 3/4 of the way through but was willing to finish as stuff went further off the rails. Some of the conclusions reached by Lily and Harry (mostly Lily, Harry exists to open a couple of doors) are not just out of left field, they're past the fence, over the road, and out of the river behind left field.
A lot of the book worked for me, especially some uncomfortable things like people just getting married because the other person asked and it's expected. About giving over agency of yourself and your future to someone else because it's easy and makes you no longer responsible for anything that happens. Of how self-proclaimed pick-up artists target women lacking confidence and burrow through their shields, isolating them and following the signs of an abusive relationship as if it is a map.
Of how growing up in a home that does not teach nor practice love, empathy or fairness can mean children growing to adults without these can severely hinder them, especially regarding other human beings.
These things I liked, although I'm not sure how much the author did intentionally.
What I did not like came more from how characters were written, and the overall perspective of the book. It all occurs from such an antisocial slant, this affects all of the characters in the book and the decisions they make. There is no concept of love, of empathy, of caring about other people whatsoever.
Martha has no friends. Lily has no friends, and despite being surrounded by family, each person living in the house is totally isolated, just three islands near one another. Lily has no job and does nothing -- and while we get a lot of hints that there is a previous book with Lily and Harry and enough of a relationship that he's being called her boyfriend, she only talks to him when she needs something from him. Lily's father, despite having a daughter who has put her life on hold because her parents can't separate for some reason despite hating each other, refuses to acknowledge anything she does for him as more than simply his due. His highest compliment is "You kept my attention". They aren
Unlikable characters, or antisocial perspective?
