THOSE EMPTY EYES

Vivienne Leheny guides listeners through a mystery involving a girl who fought the legal system and won--but has still been found guilty in the court of popular opinion. Alex Armstrong is living under an assumed name, doing her best to stay out of the spotlight while searching for the man who killed her family. When her family was murdered, Alex was accused due to poor police work, and she has spent most of her life hiding in plain sight. Leheny's narration of the beginning of this audiobook gives listeners the feel of a true-crime podcast. Her delivery becomes more emotional as the story focuses on Alex's life after the trial. Leheny keeps listeners in a perfect balance of tension and fascination throughout this murder mystery. V.B. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2023]
