"Narrator Shiromi Arserio lends her vocal talents to Katherine Faulkner's latest mystery. Alice, a wealthy mother living in London, is hosting a playdate for her child when an intruder enters. She kills him with a barstool in self-defense. Arserio gives Alice a soft yet dynamic tone and captures her intense curiosity about the young man she killed. She also wants to know why she keeps getting disturbing comments online and why everyone around her, including her husband, is acting strangely. Arserio is quiet and subtle as she delivers Alice's thoughts. Overall, she's engaging during each tense and dramatic moment. D.Z. � AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine"
