Publisher's Summary

Who will you cross to protect your own?

When Hannah packs up her past and moves to the cottage next-door to her sister, she hopes the luxe neighborhood and close family ties will be the perfect escape for her son and the shadows that trail them. But when a young girl goes missing days after they unload their final boxes and her son is quickly thrown under suspicion, Hannah must do whatever it takes to protect her child.

Even if that means pointing the blame her sister's way instead.

With investigators swarming and neighborhood scrutiny closing in, the divide between two sisters grows. As one fiercely defends her husband, the other shields her boy from the crime, keeping quiet the secrets that might unravel it all. And all the while, one young girl has vanished, and someone is to blame.

Odd Book

This Kelly Simmons offering is "acceptably entertaining". The psychopathology driving the teenaged 'Myles' (and making him a suspect in the murder of a neighborhood girl) is frankly bizarre: an obsession with animals.. particularly dead or dying ones. The suspicions regarding 'Uncle Ben' (yes, that's his name🙄) are flimsy, and the sibling rivals 'Hannah' & 'Hillary' coming together (along with distinctly unlikeable 'Grandma Eva' to become amateur detectives: finding the real killer and acquitting Ben) are too unbelievable to contemplate. It's fortuitous that Simmons writes passably well.

Likewise fortuitous: Recorded Books Inc. decided to cast two competent readers (Morgan Hallett and Suzanne Torren) to provide the narrative from the perspectives of Hannah and Eva. Neither are particularly outstanding, but do a nice job. The tandem strategy also helps underline the storytelling structure.

This audiobook iteration of 'Not My Boy' is a reasonable time investment as a 'Plus' opton.. but this 5/10-star product wouldn't merit a Credit.
