Behind Her Eyes

I should have listened to Jenni's review. This book is painful to listen to and is quite repetitive. A complete waste of my time, I only listened to the end a) because I was promised 'A brilliant ending' which may have made up for the main story and b) because I had wasted my credit purchasing it. Don't waste your credits or more importantly your time!

Really enjoyed the book at first and the mystery but then it goes off down a far fetched and a little bit ridiculous route and it loses all credibility for me. Shame it didn't keep to a more real concept.

The principal narrators by and large made a decent fist of some very poor material although it is a little misleading to list the great Anna Bentinck as one of them when all she does is introduce the chapter headings. As for the author, never again.

The publicity materials for this book make great play of its "twist" ending. What they omit to mention is that up until that point the plot treads a very well worn path with no particular charm, wit or narrative verve. As the end neared I anticipated the ending but kept thinking "No, she wouldn't go there, would she?" and lo and behold she did. Never mind giving me my money back I'm much more annoyed by the time I wasted on this when I could have been listening to something half way decent.

The narrators did their best to bring the two dimensional characters to life although the application of Scottish accents was inconsistent. There were at least two other characters described as growing up in Scotland and yet who were portrayed with English accents.

None.

Note to self - remember that new books marketed with puffs from other writers (rather than from critics) are generally dire.

I pre ordered this and it was waiting for me on my Kindle this morning. I finished it half an hour ago.. I've had it on all day. Well presented. The narrators do a marvellous job and the novel itself is truly gripping. I wasn't sure what to expect and at first thought it was going to be a gritty thriller but the fantasy/horror elements trickled in so subtly I was completely convinced by them and gripped by the characters and the story to the final jaw dropping conclusion. Well worth the purchase price.

I have over 1000 audiobooks and rarely feel moved to write a review. If suspenseful psychological thrillers with a twist are your thing, don't miss this one. It's well written, well narrated and the story line is like no other.

gripping story well told with an unnerving ending
characters well formed a very good story

Wow what a twist or two or three! Did not see that coming! Pinborough is great.

could not stop listening to this book. Thought I worked out the twist but it still managed to surprise me! Relatable characters. Well narrated. Read it!

I LOVED this. Twisty, turny, creepy as anything. The audio equivalent of a page turner.

I won't comment on any of the plot as coming to it unspoiled is best.

Loses one star for performance which is generally excellent but there's one character who should have had a Scottish accent from the start.

What a fab story this is, very clever and kept me completely in the dark 'til the end.....and what an end! I will certainly be looking out for more books by Sarah Pinborough..
