10 stars if possible. A super narration with, brilliant mystery story right to the end. I thought I'd worked it out but was slightly wrong. Good, it beat me, so that makes the brilliance of it. ✔️👍

This is one of those books that really captivated me. The narration was excellent which allowed the story to flow. There was enough intrigue from the protagonist to keep the reader guessing. Enjoyed it immensely.

Really enjoyed this book, although I guessed who she was early on, there was still plenty of twists at the end.

I did enjoy this book but I was able to work parts of it out before the clues came, but it didn't spoil the stories and it kept me interested all the way through . I was glad I bought it

I finished it and kept listening but felt it lacked something. The flicking in between time lines got a little confusing in parts and had to Re listen

I liked the story although found that it felt much more leisurely paced than some of the other books by the same author and the book didn't really keep you guessing as much as it could've done.

From early on the ‘twist ‘ was predictable. Think I only Kept going with the story because one of the reviews it said that you would never guess the twist, so I thought I must be wrong. It was so obvious.
Really wish I hadn’t bothered wasting so much of my life on this book.

The lead in, in the two way story; takes too long - and the tying up of the two stories into one, done too quickly; almost as though she wanted to just get it done with. Maybe I watch too much CSI or Forensic TV; BUT no surprise for me at the end!
This author gets it!! A very flawed character can be created, and yet that character can be a likable protagonist to root for! I loved the story, and the narration is perfect.

Great story! Solid narration and packed with intrigue. Side stories helped to thicken the plot. I've purchased more expensive books that were much less enjoyable. Looking forward to more from this author on the future!

Struggled to finish. Much too detailed but at the end it all made sense. Would not suggest it as a "must read".

This book dragged a lot in the beginning but picked up a bit towards the end. I found myself frustrated with the clueless behaviours of most of the main characters at times. However, the final 25% ended up (somewhat) redeeming the rest of the book, as the writing tightened up and the story finally got to where it needed to go. Wouldn't recommend paying full price for this one.
One of the most boring, go nowhere books I’ve ever read. I would not recommend this book at all.
Good story, nice twists! Kept my attention and wanting to know more about the characters.
Narrator: excellent
