Review:
This is one of the freebies I got at the last Book Bonanza. (This is another one I finished a while back and should have reviewed sooner, or at least taken more notes on. My memories of it are a bit fuzzy.)
This alternates between true crime podcast snippets about Dunia Ahmed, a pharmacist in New York who went missing a year ago, flashbacks to Dunia's life not long before she disappeared, and flashbacks to Dunia when she was 5 years old. Part of what makes Dunia's disappearance so intriguing to the podcast's audience is that there were several unexplained attempts on her life just before she disappeared. For no apparent reason whatsoever, total strangers suddenly tried to kill Dunia and then committed suicide when they failed. Previously, the only thing causing Dunia problems was her ex, who kept sending her threatening messages, but the people who tried to kill her didn't seem to have any connection to Dunia's ex, or any other part of her life. Meanwhile, in the flashbacks to Dunia's childhood, we learn that she was prone to sleepwalking and that her mother once had an exorcism performed on her.
What was going on with Dunia, and where is she now?
