A hit-and-run crash leaves Janie White grievously injured and unable to speak. Rehabilitation takes many years, but eventually Janie begins to remember what happened, so long as her still-healing brain cooperates. Even though she can't speak, Janie can sing and is able to tell her story through music. Twenty years after the crash, Robbie Manning, a famous rock star known for his generosity and love for his family, is arrested in the hit-and-run case. Astoundingly, he doesn't deny the accusations. There is more to the story, but he is afraid to tell it. Meanwhile, Vanessa, the widow of the investigating police officer, now volunteers as a witness advocate in the courtroom. The shocking truth is revealed during Robbie's trial, leading to an extended epilogue where everyone appears to be guilty of something. Corry's (Coming To Find You) domestic thriller, told from multiple viewpoints, brings her characters' lives together as the roots of the crime are revealed. Narrators Anna Burnett, Joshua Riley, Sophie Aldred, and Roy McMillan bring life to their characters with wide-ranging emotions. Excellent pacing keeps the story moving at a clip. VERDICT While the ending is a little over-the-top, fans of twisty, multiple-perspective thrillers will want to check this out.--Joanna M. Burkhardt
