emilyctrigg 's review for:
Passersthrough
by Peter Rock
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an audio copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.
Y'all, this book is CREEPY with a capital C and I loved it. Benjamin is an older gentleman who is trying to reconnect with his daughter. Something terrible happened when she was a child and they went camping together. Helen went missing and when she was finally discovered, she couldn't remember anything about what happened while she was missing. This led to the dissolution of her parents' marriage and she didn't know if she could trust her father.
Now, many years later, the two begin to converse again. But a mysterious woman appears on Benjamin's doorstep wanting to investigate what *actually* happened all those years ago. Who is she? And who is this kid who is always hanging around her? Why does she care what happened? And most importantly... what happened to Helen while she was missing.
This is a pretty short listen; packed full of creepiness and suspense. I simultaneously wanted to slow down the title so I could just keep listening, but also speed it up so I could just KNOW what happened. The balance of ambiance and plot was perfection. I also really enjoyed the narrator-- I would pick up the audio again for sure.
My one complaint is that the ending was a bit more ambiguous than I was hoping for. I wanted a few more answers than the author was willing to share.
