Shaw Connolly Lives to Tell by Gillian French
3.0

This book was okay, and definitely very dark and tense. You could feel the tension in the room with you, it was almost suffocating. The story just didn't hold my attention the way I wanted; I feel like Shaw was just spinning her wheels the same as so many years before, for most of the book.  And the fact that you basically know what happened without technnnnically knowing just didn't keep me hooked.  If you want a creepy AF book where you are listening to a creepy old man over the phone - then yes this would be a book for you! I was also frustrated that there was kind of no closure with Shaw's family, after basically having this dark cloud over them for so long and Shaw's poor kids!) 

Note: I listened to the audiobook, which did a great job of establishing the eerie atmosphere.

Thanks to the publisher for a free audiobook copy; my thoughts and review are my own.
