Don't Look Back by Gregg Hurwitz
3.0
3.5 Stars for Story, 2.5 Stars for Narration
Mini-Review:
The overall story by Hurwitz is good. He has a way of mixing the everyday moments that make up a life with the horrific. A nice blend for a thriller. I would have enjoyed the story more if I had read it vs listening to the audio. I wasn't a fan of the female narrator. She did the majority of the reading. I would have preferred Scott Brick doing the whole thing and having his not really female voice vocals in favor of the other's inconsistently accented & phrased work.
There is a slow setup and and well paced growth in the story. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect from this story but it's not too different from the tones that are in the Ethan Smoak series. I liked it. I will see if I can make time to come back and read this one in print at some point.
