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 podcast, psychological thrillers and unexpected twists, will enjoy this book.
Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for providing my ARC.

I have never listened to a podcast and don’t get the appeal. Why not read a book? However, I do trust St. Martin’s even though I think psychological suspense is overdone, so I will give this a try. Thanks for the review.
