Too Old for This by Samantha Downing

How I Came Across It... *I can't remember exactly where I saw this title, but it caught my interest and I put it on my TRB list. I then downloaded it via Audible. It was quite the interesting read and I enjoyed the audible. What It's About - Five Things You Need to Know... *Lottie Jones has quite the past, but hoping it is behind her.

*When a reporter shows up at her door asking about her past, Lottie isn't too happy and needs to take action.

*After the reporter's visit, Lottie ends up on a journey of hiding secrets, dodging questions from law enforcement, and acting out like she did years ago.

*The more Lottie tries to cover her tracks, the more trouble she finds herself in.

*She knows she is too old for this, but is determined to keep her past and identity safely tucked away.

What I Thought of It - Five Observations/Reflections... *The narration was top-notch.

*I enjoyed the listening experience and found my commute to pass by quickly because of the "fun" I was having listening to the story.

*Lottie was quite a character and I was actually rooting for her, even though I probably should not have been.

*Some great twists and turns along the way which kept me guessing right up until the end of the story.

*I always find it enjoyable when you find a great page-turner that sucks you in from the get-go.  

Who Should Read It... *If you are looking for a strong mystery that is a fun and engaging read, then this is the novel for you. I think most adult readers would find this a satisfying plot, interesting characters, and some OMG moments. Happy Reading!

Rating... 4 out of 5 stars
