A professional caregiver’s commute takes an unsettling detour when car trouble forces her to pull over on the highway, where she begins receiving distressing phone calls from strangers…When Carla’s little car broke down on the highway, she was in the fast lane, and instead of pulling over to the far side of the road, she had to stop on the median.

Reviewed by Molly Chenault“High Times in the Low Parliament” by Kelly Robson, Tor, 2022, $14.99. Lana Baker is Aldgate’s finest scribe, with a sharp pen and an even sharper wit.

Certainly none from her mother or sisters, who would have preferred another strong hand at the ovens.
