About this listen

How far would you go to find out who killed your mother? Adopted Miranda will do what it takes. As this story about murder, betrayal, and dark desires unfolds, things take an unsuspected turn. Things from the past find their way back to the surface, and dead might not mean dead, after all.

I loved the story. It flows nicely and the ending really took me by surprise. The gory details are never spelled out but rather just touched. It makes a nice change to the usual graphic descriptions that try to shock. The narrator has an excellent reading voice and I found it pleasant to listen to. However, he doesn't change to adapt to individual characters and just reads the story. Personally, I like it because (for me) that's the difference between an audiobook and an audio play, but I guess it's down to individual taste.

Very good solid story with a surprise ending

Some twenty years before, a baby was given up to be fostered. Her life had been unhappy but now, with both surrogate parents dead and no other known relatives, Miranda the now grown woman, was determined to find the old man who's name on her birth certificate showed he was her father. Why had he abandoned her to the unloving care of strangers? How had her mother died and was it he who had killed her? Her life had been so miserable, she just wanted to know how it had all started, what actually happened and who could she blame?
BUT instead of direct answers, she is given by David, the old man named as her father, a journal BUT written not by him BUT by an old time actor friend of his to read, and told that all would be revealed through the book. BUT, though read it she does, if reluctantly, pre-guessing the content BUT usually wrongly, the past is slowly revealed. It is a clever idea, BUT badly executed and very poorly editted, combined with a narration which manages to emphasize the worst of it's problems. And yes, one of those problems is the constant, emphatic use of the word 'but'. There are also re-recorded sentences left into the narration and even one complete chapter repeated: chapters 25 and 26 are identical.

A very large suspension of disbelief is needed to carry the reader through this, a convoluted seedy romance story with a slight mystery attached, unbelievable characters and a vague passing attempt at horror. It is accidentally quite amusing and I found myself enjoying it for the sheer foolishness of it all. I was fortunate in being freely gifted with a complimentary copy of Layers, by the rights holder, at my request, via Audiobook Boom. Thank you.
