Publisher's Summary

On the eve of the global lockdown, Don Barlow opens the door of his old beachside cottage to find a pretty girl with pink-tipped hair, claiming to have nowhere to go.

He allows her entry, and so begins a mystery set in unprecedented times: with the virus raging outside their home, the girl cannot be asked to leave, but what does he risk by having her stay?

A covidholic book.

A bunch of covidholics in this book. I’m not sure what there is to get so excited over with this plandemic… yes I know it wasn’t planned I’m just joking with that part. But thank you media for making people panic.

Would not recommend this book

I was hoping that the story line would get interesting but no luck. I did listen to it right to the end but it is truly one of the most boring books I have listened to.

Maybe if you have trouble sleeping this book will lull you to sleep.
