What does it mean to grow up without a sense of who you are and where you come from? Julie is adopted. She’s also a twin. Because their adoption was closed, she and her sister lack both a health history and their birth parents’ names - which becomes an issue for Julie when, at 48 years old, she finds herself facing several serious health issues.

I was genuinely intrigued by the story line of Twice A Daughter but found the writing simplistic and the protagonist shallow. The author gave us plenty of surface details but I didn't come away with a strong sense of who these people were at their core. To be fair, I listened until the end because I wanted to know the outcome. but I can't say it was because I felt compelled to know the destiny of these characters. I also didn't enjoy the narration, though I guess the voice/tone suited the protagonist in that it was kind of sharp and a bit whiny.

Pete Banning was Clanton's favorite son, a returning war hero, the patriarch of a prominent family, a farmer, a father, a neighbor, and a faithful member of the Methodist church. Then one cool October morning in 1946, he rose early, drove into town, walked into the church, and calmly shot and killed the Reverend Dexter Bell.

Did I listen til the end? I did and then promptly crossed Grisham off my suspense writer list. I loved his early works, like The Firm, and The Witness, but The Reckoning never really got above the waterline. There weren’t any useful clues for the reader to speculate about and the absence of multiple suspects made the book drag on as we kept asking the same questions about the same character for 50 chapters. Once you learn the truth of what happened ( the focus of the last 12 minutes of the recording), you might, as I did, scratch your head and ask out loud, “Is that it??”
