Lauer's debut novel, The Girl in the Zoo was praised by the BookLife Prize -"While the topic of artificial intelligence is familiar territory in fiction, Lauer's work feels especially original, riveting, and timely."

I was excited to read this novella since I had already listened to the podcasts of The Strange Chronicles. Which is super fun too if you haven’t already heard them! Go listen :) I was already connected to the characters, Gray and Joe so it was cool to read how they first met and interact. You can easily read this in one day as a short story and happy it ties up a case, so you’re not left anxious for the 2nd book. However I do look forward to the next adventures of The Strange Chronicles and finding out the rest of the mystery to her father and a special stone.

This book has that escapism I’m needing right about now : A dash of noir and romance with a bit of paranormal. Fingers crossed that there’s a sequel in the works!


5 out of 5 stars Another hit!
