Gone Tonight by Sarah Pekkanen
4.0
In "Gone Tonight" by Sarah Pekkanen, we enter a chilling dance of deception between a mother and daughter. Catherine Sterling's desire for independence collides with her mother Ruth's desperate attempts to keep her close. Pekkanen crafts a slow-burning psychological thriller that almost lost me, but Kate Mara's exceptional narration kept me hooked.
The story explores the complex dynamics between the two women, shattering the facade of a seemingly perfect mother-daughter relationship. As Ruth's world unravels, secrets emerge, and the suspense intensifies. Pekkanen's storytelling, while initially sluggish, delivers a satisfying twist in the end.
Ultimately, I awarded "Gone Tonight" 4 stars, largely thanks to Kate Mara's gripping performance. Her narration brought depth and tension to the story, making it a worthwhile listen for fans of psychological thrillers.
