On and on and on. !!!
This book just goes on and on and on and on about the most mind numbing inconsequential detail. It's like a drone that doesn't stop.The actual story could be good,but the book should be about 2 hundred page shorter.ive never experienced this kind of ridiculous detail,ever. The sort of detail that has nothing to do with the story. ie. Talking about radio 1 djs endless rubbish about hairstyles. Random and bizarre. Boring twoddle

Enjoyable storyline but badly researched
I really enjoyed this book, but it was ruined by totally incorrect information regarding BRCA mutations. The 15 year old Katherine was tested for a BRCA mutation. Firstly under 18's aren't allowed to be tested as it isn't seen as ethical, and secondly they would have asked for the actual mutation her birth mother had, not just blindly test for a a mutation in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene. The Narrator also wrongly spelled the letters out rather that pronounce it 'bracka' This kind of information could be easily obtained by a quick google!

Tedious
For me this book was a bore . Too much detail , every incident was drawn out to the full . I was relieved to finish it.

Slow to start...
But turned into a nice story with a lovely ending. Unexpected twist. I would recommend although maybe a bit long

Disappointing
The beginning of the story was quite promising but it got worse and worse. I kept persevering for the big twist, but wish I hadn't. Probably the worse book I have downloaded

Poor story and poor narrating
Ridiculous story line that really dragged and the twist wasn't much of a twist. The voices of the different characters overlapped such that it wasn't possible to distinguish who was who.

Irritating voices
I found the narrators voice irritating when she was speaking the men's dialogue. The story dragged on with endless descriptions of how Alison adored her daughter Katherine. It picked up towards the end with the abduction but certainly hasn't made me rush to read more from this author.

Took a while to get into
Would you try another book written by Adele Parks or narrated by Rachel Atkins?
Maybe
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Very slow start, main character is so anoying, almost gave up. Gets better in the later chapters if you can stick with it.
