Conviction @ConvictionPod · 1m

The investigating officer: "I've seen a lot of homicides in the years since, but...that's the one that keeps me up at night."

The husband's best man: "They had everybody fooled. Or at least, she did. But I always knew something was off."

Hannah, the wife: "I told you. I don't remember anything. I don't know."

That's all to come, this season, on Conviction. Get ready for our most twisted season yet.

~~~

Ten years ago, Hannah's husband was brutally murdered in their home, and she (conveniently) doesn't remember a thing about that night. The police charged a stranger and put him away for life. Hannah packed up her six-year-old daughter and left London behind.

But now her hard-won peace is threatened. Conviction, a viral true crime podcast known for getting cases reopened and verdicts overturned, has turned its attention to Hannah's husband's murder. They say police framed the guilty man, and that Hannah has more suspicious secrets than just her memory loss: a history of volatility; citations at the psychiatric clinic where she worked; dependencies on alcohol and pills; and a familicidal grandmother, locked away in a Gothic asylum until her death.

As Hannah loses the trust of everyone she loves, the only person she feels she can confide in is a former colleague, Darcy, who's come back into her life—but who may have motives of her own. Yet Hannah can't even tell Darcy her deepest secret: that she's still tormented by the memory of her husband and the crater he carved through her life.

Creepy Gothic feel

Hannah’s life is moving along with her boyfriend Dan and her daughter Evie. She’s a psychiatrist working for her best friend. Then the highly popular podcast Conviction delves into the death of her husband and if the right man is in jail.

Have you noticed the uptick in books about podcasts? I think I’ve read 3 or 4 in the past year. And while I’ve never listened to a podcast, I seem drawn to these books, especially if they are about reviewing a conviction or solving a cold case.

This one drew me in with the podcast and with the creepiness of Hannah’s dead husband whispering to her. You throw in the closed mental asylum down the road and you have a gothic feel. I wouldn’t call this to the point of horror, but I was creeped out a few times.

I really like when there are many options for the outcome and I was guessing on Hannah’s mental capacity, who really killed her husband and even who she could trust. And while I did figure out a story point or two, there were so many twists I didn’t see coming.

Anyone who likes true crime podcasts, psychological thrillers and unexpected twists, will enjoy this book.

A good book ...

This was a very good book and it was very well written. I was enthralled by it and sometimes had a hard time making myself stop reading. If you enjoy a mystery and a thriller you will enjoy this book.cula
