About this listen

The perfect murder. The perfect nightmare.

Spying from her window in New York City with high-powered binoculars, conspiracy theorist Zoe spots a man and woman on a park bench. Zooming in, she finds she can read the texts on the woman's phone. Her initial excitement turns to alarm when the woman's texts outline a plan to murder the man she is sitting next to.

The police department is trying to manage a pandemic and catch a serial killer who has murdered six women. So, when Zoe reports the conspiracy to commit murder, the police have little time or patience for her theories.

Committed to saving the life of the man on the bench, Zoe and her best friend Sean pursue all angles until Zoe finds herself in grave danger.

But those around her keep wondering, is there really a murder plot or is it all in Zoe's head?

Great narration, somewhat far fetched story line but really good all the same. I love a good thriller but I love a fast moving thriller even more!!!

The story moved quickly

Easy to listen to and follow and listened to the end. Wasn’t surprised by the twist. Found the main character and essence of the book a little juvenile, maybe more suited to a teen book.

A little immature and naive.
