The Last Trip is new from Kiersten ModglinSadie is very pregnant when she and boyfriend Cal decide to have one last weekend away, before they are parents. But, things don't go quite like Sadie had imagined. And the house owners....and the visitor..... (I had more than one shiver.)
Modglin builds on those first chapters with more odd incidents and happenings from Sadie's point of view. Cal has a voice as well. The rest of the book is told from She and Him and the time frame jumps from now and then. At first I couldn't understand why the characters didn't have their names on their chapters. You'll see. There's are so many twists and turns in this book - right down to the last page. I love a good twisty tale and Modglin definitely gives us that.
I chose to listen to The Last Trip. The narrators were Abigail Reno and Jay Myers. They both did great jobs of presenting Modglin's work. Each used voices that matched their character's. Reno's voice has a low gravelly tone that is perfect. Myers' voice for Cal is great - he's the perfect partner and his voice reflects that. There's a great plot in this novel and they both embrace it; their voices change with the action and emotions. They are clear speakers and are easy to understand. Great performance.
Run time is 5.0 hours.
