The Murderer's Daughter

Sorry to disagree with the majority of reviews but I had several gripes about this book.

Characterisation : Wish I had a penny for each glowing description of Grace - clever, beautiful, fit, clever, resourceful, stylish, clever ad nauseam. Most of the other characters were presented only in how they reacted to Grace's copious attributes.

Plot : To avoid spoilers I'll just say that my disbelief can be suspended only so far.

Pace : Erratic. It started fine, but slowed down and down only to break into a breakneck bolt for the finale.

Reader : I personally find the breathy, super-feminine qualities of this reader's voice irritating. Others may not.

I really enjoyed it.
Well read. Good pace.
I don't like reviews that tell me the whole story, so just to say, it was good, not superb but worth a listen. Gentle suspense. Intriguing and therefore it captured my interest.

I found it difficult to accept that Grace would act as she did in many ways.

The story was ok, certainly worth a listen, but stretching one's imagination and belief

Complex and gripping story. So good that it made me miss the train, I just couldnt turn it off!

The story is enjoyable, the plot is quite convoluted in places with a great deal of scene setting. My one real criticism is the end is very abrupt. The book is billed as a stand alone, but I would certainly be happy to read a follow on

This book started out grabbing my interest. W without giving any plot away, after the murder it really slowed up too much. I almost gave up on it, but it held just enough interest for me to continue. Grace doesn't really have many plus points to her character, and it was stated just too often how brilliant she is. Barely recognisable as the Delaware author

Well written and I respected Grace, the lonely, damaged protagonist. The narrator was excellent, hooking me in from the first sentence. I loved her versatility with voices, her pace and consistency. She was helped by the excellence of Kellerman - he is such a clever writer. I did not give the story 5 * because, at points, it was not a perfect construction. I mean characters 'disappeared'. However, I really enjoyed listening to this. Felt slightly desolated when it finished.

I was unsure about this book when I started it but should not have worried as I was hooked 5 minutes later. Much as I LOVE Alex D this new story is definitely one of the best books by this author and is the most gripping novel I have listened too this year - bravo!

Nicely performed- but felt there were a lot of lose ends. Enjoyed it never the less. Positive female lead for a change
