When the Lights Go Out/Mary Kubica/8 discs 330 pages

I am a big fan of Mary Kubica's psychological thrillers and was very excited to listen to her new title "When the lights go out" last week. I downloaded it through the Hoopla app and enjoyed the narrators
Julia Whelan and Jayme Matter.  Jessie Sloane has been serving as care giver to her mother who was battling cancer. When her Mom passes she decides to apply for college and start fresh.  But she is shocked to discover she is perhaps the victim of identity theft. As she delves deeper into her life with her single Mother as a child she is shocked to realize everything in her childhood may have been a big lie.  Jessie is also dealing with sleep deprivation from insomnia and starts to question her own sanity. I was surprised by the ending but was not as unhappy with it as I have read many reviewers seemed to be. It kept me guessing until the end.
