Mark and Maggie&;s annual drive east to visit family has gotten off to a rocky start. By the time they&;re on the road, it&;s late, a storm is brewing, and they are no longer speaking to each other. Adding to the stress, Maggie&;recently mugged at gunpoint&;is lately not herself, and Mark is at a loss about what to make of the stranger he calls his wife. When the couple is forced to stop for the night at a remote inn completely without power, Maggie&;s paranoia reaches an all-time and terrifying high. But as Mark finds himself threatened in a dark parking lot, it&;s Maggie who takes control. 
&;Pittard proves herself a master of ordinary suspense.&; &; New York Times
&;Listen to Me elides so many genres that it&;s Houdini-like, bursting through constraints. It moves between its two characters&; inner lives as effortlessly as an Olympic swimmer strokes through water.&; &; Ann Beattie, Paris Review blog
 
&;A psychologically complex, addictive, and quick-moving read. I didn&;t want it to end!&; &; M.O. Walsh, author of New York Times best-selling novel My Sunshine Away
