TRUST ME

Listeners join journalist Mercer Hennessey as she strives to rebuild her life while undertaking a high-profile assignment that connects her with Ashlyn, the mother and accused killer of "Baby Boston." At first, this mystery seems to have a straightforward plot, but, trust me, it doesn't! Saskia Maarleveld's well-paced narration keeps listeners on the edge of their seats throughout the story's many twists and turns, psychological manipulation, and misdirection. She clearly defines each character--from the world-weary editor to the self-assured writer. Her steady narration of the story, told in the first person, is cleverly understated, allowing the mind games to play out in the listener's imagination, which adds to the suspense.
