Closing In by Joe Donato is an excellent mystery story. Jason has his talk show, the talent to listen to others genuinely, and is curious about people. Taryn McKay is the producer of the Jason Matthews Midday Show. Taryn tells Jason that they have lost contact with the outside world. There is no communication from New York or the internet, and many sites are down. Callers start dialing in on Jason's show. Some report seeing a white cloud lit up from behind, and they can hear the sound of rumbling. Another caller says something was in the school’s bathroom mirror. Each caller has a different theory of why the world is vanishing. Jason believes it's another snowstorm like in 1967, but what is happening?

Closing In by Joe Donato hooked me from the start until the end. Donato takes you on a rollercoaster ride of humor and suspense. The plot is exciting and complicated, and I never knew what to expect. The tension kept me on the edge of my seat. I could not turn the pages fast enough to find out what would happen. The characters are brilliantly developed. Jason and Taryn are unique and quirky. They enjoy the callers' theories of the events but also realize the seriousness of the matter. The story is excellently written and had my attention throughout. It was not what I expected, and it exceeded my expectations. The ending was a major surprise; I did not see it coming.

All Jason Matthews wanted was a good life, and life seemed to be going according to plan. He lived in Chicago, which he loved, and worked as an on-air personality at WBDP radio station, where he was one of the best as his show had good ratings and brought listeners from all over. He also had a good producer and co-host, Taryn McKay, on whom he seemed to have a crush. What more could a man ask for? All seemed well for Jason until one day, the United States experiences unexplainable communication, media, and internet outages. This gets worse as people call in at the station to give horrific reports of zombies walking the streets, attacks on schools, corpses in morgues crying out at night, and other morbid things. There are many conspiracy theories about the end of the world and the arrival of the Antichrist, but what is the real issue? Is there anything Jason can do to preserve his show and save his country and the world? Find out when you read Closing In by Joe Donato.
