Really very good 👍🏽

I liked this book. It was different from the other thrillers I've enjoyed.
The narration flowed, the storyline strong ... The characters are realistic. Not my usual author, but I'll certainly be happy to read/listen to further books by them. Easy listening and straightforward. Definitely a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really enjoyable thriller

I really enjoyed this book, it was one of those that I was listening to at every and any opportunity! I figured out the main aspects of the plot early on, but that made it thrilling in the way it does when you're watching, say, a murder programme, and the viewer knows who the murderer is, but the people in the drama don't, and you just want them to figure it out! I definitely recommend this book and will be reading more from this author. Good narration too, really got the dead-pan feel of the main character across.

Solid plot

Good writing but of all the murderous plot twist’ stories on audible, the plot twist concept wasn’t strong enough. Worth a listen still

Not the best but ok

I purchased this after listening to a previous title from this author, but it was no way near as good. The story line was ok but didn’t have me wanting to keep listening, found it very boring in parts.

I loved this!

This is one of the best written and narrated books I’ve listened to this year. The narrator is probably one of my favourites.

Really good plot and well written. A little predictable towards the end but still very enjoyable. I can’t wait to download more from this author!

Great story but not great narration

really enjoyed the storyline, I did guess some of twists but it was well written and I will read more by this author. for me the narration was let down by the mispronunciation of the place names "Teynham" being said as "Tynam" for example, and the narrator also struggled to pronounce her R's which was quite jarring at times.
