Show Notes

Maggi-Meg Reed shines in Christopher Bollen’s psychological thriller pitting an octogenarian against an 8-year-old boy. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss this story full of dark humor, plot twists, and increasing suspense. Set during Covid at the Royal Karnak Hotel on the banks of the Nile, the story features 81-year-old Maggie Burkhardt, a meddler who gets involved in fixing people's lives—even when she shouldn't. Reed does a remarkable job of transitioning between Maggie's role as narrator and her interactions with others, making for engrossing listening.
