Excellent second novel from Amy Suiter Clarke. Religious trauma and the darkness that lurks in megachurches is clearly a subject close to her, and I enjoyed playing amateur detective along with Del.

I really enjoyed this audiobook. I was really pulled into the story and couldn’t wait to find out how it all unfolded. I found the twists a bit more predictable than the protagonist did, but that didn’t deter from my experience.
