It started well and you definitely get a chance to really get to know the characters. I liked the writing style, I got an advanced copy had a few grammatical errors but nothing too serious. I really liked the story I just wish I could have heard more from the ending. I felt like its a cliffhanger or just a really open interpretation. This is the type of book where you could build it into a series if wanted. Overall I was impressed. :)

I received this as a free Audible download in return for an honest review. This is a book that I thought started out strong. It created a real atmosphere, but it kind of lost its way as the story went on. The ending seemed disconnected from the story. The narration was good and fit the story.

I received this years ago from a Goodreads giveaway. I give great props to the author for wanting to be a published author and, thus, self-publishing this book. But, I also could tell what value a publishing house/agent/editor can do for an author. This book was clearly self-handled and there were many grammatical and spelling errors and a team could have helped McDonald pull it all together much more so than what the end product was. Still, it was very interesting to read with this overall publishing process in mind.

"Great story, creepy, unique, surprising ending"
What did you love best about The Interview?
This book was fun. The Interwies is a story about George, a 20-something typical guy with a few ocd tendencies who is arrested when a girl he is interested in is found murdered. The "interview" part, and the bulk of the story, is George's interaction during his interrogation, with female psychiatrist Dr. Williams. Along the way, details reveal a crazy twisted ending.

Would you be willing to try another book from Christopher McDonald? Why or why not?
I really like Christopher McDonald's stories They are unique and creepy,

Which character – as performed by Jaicie Kirkpatrick – was your favorite?
I loved Dr. Williams. Creepy soft-spoken voice.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Duplicity. Hapless George is maniulated by sweet Dr. Williams. Or is she manipulated by him?

Any additional comments?

This is a very unusuall shortish (4 hours 20 mins) story , rather in the style and feel of "Tales of the unexpected"
This captured my interest right from the start ,but had no idea where the story would lead, I very much enjoyed the twists in the plot, and felt it had an ending that suited the story.
good interesting characters .
really good narration by Jaicie Kirkpatrick

I received a copy of this audio book for free in exchange for an honest review. The story was good, but it needs a good editor. I felt that the language could be a bit more concise. The narrator had a nice voice, but needs a bit more practice. I would definitely listen to, or read more book by this author.

This is a short novel about a man being questioned about a murder.As you go on there are twists and turns and it is like a 'Tales from the Crypt' type of story.I loved the creepiness! Jaicie Kilpatrick was ok at narrating.I think a male narrator would have been better.I was gifted this book for an honest review.
