This book, THE LEWISTON SHOOTINGS the listener is introduced to the second largest town in Maine, Lewiston Main, which was once deemed as the safest place to live in Maine. I did read the print version of the story, and enjoyed it, but I also really enjoyed this audiobook. I am a fan of true crime stories. This is the first book on audiobook by Robert Conlin that I’ve listened to. In October of 2023. Robert Card went hunting, but it wasn’t game he was after, it was a shooting spree that killed 18 people, and injured 13. The town itself was injured, and the events is something they wish to forget, but also should not forget. It was detailed and terrifying, especially because of items that not even the news showed. Robert Card walked into a bowling alley, and then to a local Bar and Grill. Later, Card was found dead from self-harm. There were a few unsung heroes who tried to stop him, but they were unable to do. Some persons died immediately, and three died later at the hospital. He discharged his weapon at least 54 times. This book was written with diplomacy and detailed the accounts of that October day, but never stopped acknowledging the victims and survivors. THE LEWISTON SHOOTINGS on audiobook is a definite listening recommendation by Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to listening to many more titles by this author. Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews recommends that anyone who listens to this book, to also write a review.
