I just finished listening Precious Thing, by Colette McBeth, narrated by Penelope Rawlins. This is one of my favorite suspense titles for the year. The story begins with Rachel (the narrator), a successful young TV journalist, learning that Clara, her best friend, has been reported missing. As the investigation unfolds, we also get details of the long relationship between the two women.
The book started out sort of slowly and didn't grab me at first--I multitask when I listen to audiobooks, which usually works fine for me, but with this one, I kept getting distracted, losing the thread of the story and having to go back a chapter or so; in fact, after doing this a few times, I gave up a few hours in and decided to start over completely. I'm glad I did, as the book turned out to be fascinating.
I'm definitely going to listen to this author's next book.
