#AudiobookPets "Julia Massey narrates w/ a feverish intensity” a thriller involving unlikeable but plausible characters, including a pet snake, created by novelist @siljesalat & translated from Norwegian by @alimccwriter @Dreamscapeaudio https://t.co/zSeoUOb0Ln

I loved #ReptileMemoirs SO much and it's out in paperback today. So fresh and original, and (although I do not speak Norwegian) I am in awe of @alimccwriter's superb translation. Pin point plotting and jaw dropping twists. And a SNAKE (I grew very fond of the snake!)

[Alison McCullough @alimccwriter]
