 Overall, I enjoyed listening to this short novella. Lilian Burkett is a bilingual marketing specialist. She is hard-working, pleasant, and optimistic person, so no wonder that she easily makes friends everywhere she goes. One exception is her boss's boss, Gabe Blackburn. The business side of their short trip to Nicaragua seems to have gone really well, although Gabe is as grumpy as usual about her taking too much initiative and not enough translating. On their way back they get ambushed, and from this point on the pace speeds up as Lillian and Gabe run for their life. I really enjoyed Virginia Rose's performance and her characterization of Lillian Burkett. I found myself listening at 1:1 speed for Virginia Rose's parts and then slowing down for Aaron Shedlock's chapters. Having said that, I genuinely prefer having two narrators in a double POV books, and this combination of narrators seemed to work well, Thank you to the publisher for the review copy provided in exchange for an honest opinion.
