A great book
Very much enjoyed this listen. Gripping and exciting with lots to keep you turning the pages. Narration was good, but I felt the narrator had a cold her voice was very nasal and congested. Would recommend reading.

Great read
Thought it would be difficult to follow several plots at the same time but I didn’t. Each plot held my interest as did the characters. I do enjoy this author as I feel her knowledge shines through. Will definitely recommend

Not my cup of tea!
I found the narrator a little irritating - the characterizations were weak.
The story was OK- not in the genre of good crime fiction.

Fabulous story
Loved how three separate characters had a different story and how they were weaved together as the story developed.

Entertaining and fun but it makes no sense. I listened to it all to the end but I was just bewildered that all these supposedly intelligent people were so thick!

Terrible - 8 hrs of nothing then…
… such a far fetched ending - no suspense as it was just not a compelling ending…
Poor
