Santino Fontana narrates the newest installment in the You series to perfection. Joe Goldberg starts the next chapter of his life in a Pacific Northwest island town. He gets a job at a local library, and, of course, his new obsession is the librarian. He resolves to win Mary Kay's affections the old-fashioned way, but when the busy mom and friend gives him mixed signals, old habits die hard. Fontana uses well-timed pauses to separate Joe's thoughts from his dialogue. He gives Mary Kay a sweet, realistically female voice as compared to her friend Malanda's clichéd tone, which mirrors her personality. Fontana's nuanced narration enhances every emotion in this thriller.

A top-notch audio ensemble makes this psychological roller-coaster ride breathtaking and unforgettable.
Multiple outstanding performances grace this twisty audiobook. World-famous author Miller, wonderfully voiced by Jean Brassard, takes listeners with him to his death as he falls from a cliff in the mountains near Lake Geneva. Everyone believes it was an accident, as Miller was known for rock climbing without safety gear, but his wife, Sarah, fully inhabited by Saskia Maarleveld, is sure it was murder. Meanwhile, Sarah’s business partner, Karen, narrated by Stephanie Németh-Parker, believes that Sarah has lost her grip on reality. At the center of the plot is a missing manuscript that reveals the truth about what happened to Miller’s sister 20 years earlier. The novel offers a stunning exploration of friendship, secrets, and betrayals.

Kirkus Reviews Issue: June 15, 2026
A disturbing story elevated by good narration.
Narrator Hannah Church masterfully performs the full range of emotions protagonist Amelia experiences in this domestic psychological thriller. Amelia’s husband, a police detective, is consumed by the search for a serial killer, leaving Amelia lost and lonely. Church expresses Amelia’s anxiety, fear, and confusion as her troubled marriage propels her to join a book club of women who share a hate for and distrust of men. Welcomed into the club, Amelia finds the companionship and support she is desperately seeking. Church effectively differentiates the female characters and skillfully performs the males, and she delivers interspersed chapters from the point of view of the serial killer, who is bent on murdering abusers, in a chilling tone.
