![]() ![]() J ust Like Home also deals with what happens to people after the podcasters and authors go home. I could practically hear the Francis Crowder: Serial Killer podcast in my head as I was reading. Gailey hooks you with the story of a woman facing her past and the crimes of her father, and slowly ratchets up the supernatural over the course of the book. One of the strengths of the book is the way it harnesses the cultural (and my personal) obsession with true crime. ![]() ![]() The pacing of the story is perfect, we learn things every chapter but the answers to questions often lead to more answers as the story gets darker and spookier. It makes for an incredibly effective narrative device, leading to a mid book reveal that actually had me gasping out loud. We see the entire story through Vera’s eyes, and it is immediately obvious that even though we are in her head there are secrets she isn’t telling us. Gailey is a master of the third person limited point of view. ![]()
