*Starred Review* Bailey Carpenter is a confident private investigator until she is brutally raped while on a stakeout. Suddenly, she finds herself trapped in her apartment by her fears, compulsively reliving the details of the attack. Her hold on reality slips, and she's tormented by her attacker's voice. Her only solace is visits from her half sister, Claire, and teenage niece, Jade. As a diversion, she begins to use her PI binoculars to watch a man who lives his life with open curtains in the building facing hers. She soon becomes obsessed with him and convinced that he is her rapist. Narrator Traister does an excellent job echoing Bailey's rise from terrified victim to pursuer. Listeners can feel Bailey's terror when raped and her violent reactions to any male she later encounters. Traister shrieks and sobs out Bailey's emotions as the investigator struggles to get back in control, and her voice becomes steadier and stronger when Bailey begins to emerge from her nightmare. The other real star character is Jade, whose sass and rudeness help to ground her desperate aunt. The story is brutal, with graphic sex scenes and terrifying emotions. But listeners who are seeking a thrill ride will be glued to their earbuds by this fast-paced story and exceptional performance. Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews.
