This spooky book set in 1979 Milwaukee makes for a quick & entertaining listen! It opens with the unpleasant Mark arriving to a dilapidated house to interview for a job as a home healthcare aide to an elderly set of siblings. The other aide has a nervous disposition & it‘s soon clear that there may be more going on. With nightmares, cultish vibes and mounting tension, Mark is so unlikable that you end up rooting for him to get what he deserves!
