APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
As this thrilling listen from B. A. Paris suspensefully unfolds, a mystery in the present can only be solved in the past. Orphaned at 16, Amelie suffered through intense poverty and brutal hardship before her luck finally changed…or did it? Years later, Amelie is being held hostage alongside her billionaire husband, Ned. Paris splits the narrative into two timelines to explain just how Amelie got here—and what she must do to survive. Though Amelie begins her story as a vulnerable, naive teen, it’s gripping to hear her transform into a tough and resourceful survivor. Many of the dramatic turns had us truly floored, and the short chapters make the story feel even more propulsive. Georgia Maguire’s narration really captures Amelie throughout every stage of her character development as the two timelines unspool. If you’re looking for an intense thriller that never lets up, pick up The Prisoner.
