The cure for insomnia...yawn...
I gave Fracture Point a fair shot. About a third of the way in, actually. And then I tapped out.
The premise had potential. Jack goes missing, tension builds, questions swirl, but a third of the way in, I still didn't have a good grasp of the plot and something in my brain just quietly clocked out. I wanted grounded suspense. What I got felt like it was veering somewhere I didn’t want to follow.
To be clear, the audiobook narrator was excellent. No complaints there. The pacing of the performance was solid, the voices were distinct, and if narration alone could carry a book, this one would’ve kept me listening.
But story is king. And this storyline just never grabbed me.
Maybe it picks up later. Maybe it twists into brilliance. But at one-third in, I realized I was inventing reasons not to press play. And life is too short, and my TBR pile too tall, to force it.
On to the next one.
