It was Saturday morning and I was once again looking for a quick book to listen to while I caught up on laundry, so I scrolled through what was free with my audible subscriptions and I came across this book, Tell Her Story. The book is centered around a former journalist who starts a podcast.
I said to myself, oh cool, I like podcasts, I'll give this book a listen.
The reader for this story is the actress Dakota Fanning and she does a nice job as the narrator keeping the story going. This book doesn't have many characters so it is easy to keep people straight while you listened and there are many subplots it's a straightforward mystery covering a cold cast that the main character has turned into a podcast. Now our main character was fired as a journalist because she wrote a story about someone claiming he was a sexual predator and then it turned out she knew it wasn't true. That makes her hungry for redemption and also maybe we should believe what she says in her podcast. Or should we?
C/W part of the story involves a high school teacher sleeping with a student. It's not condoned but it is part of the story.
Without spoiling the story, I will say my response to the end was, hmm, really? If you listen to the book I'd love to know what you think!

I love to listen to audiobooks while cleaning too.
I listened to this one as well. Being a retired teacher that part of the story gave me an icky feeling, but overall, I enjoyed this one. Nothing better than audiobooks when you do those household chores.
