The Bookworm's Feast

“People don’t change. They just get better at hiding who they really are.”

I listened to this book, and oh my gosh – it is definitely the way to do it! Its got a full cast, and half the story is set up as a podcast into the disappearance of Sadie – so audio is a perfect fit.

This true crime-esque feeling story, owing to the podcast aspect, follows Sadie and her hunt for justice against who she believes killed her younger sister – becoming a missing person herself. West overhears her story after the events and starts his journey to find the truth through his podcast, with sections intermingling with a narrative from Sadie’s point of view as it unfolded.

It’s dark, mysterious, and utterly heartbreaking. And the ending is so so perfect.
