Wow. what a twist

Firstly , the criticism. I didn't enjoy the narration., I found it boring and lacking inflection. However, the storyline was great. Without giving too much away, the main character had me feeling sorry for her which she clearly did not deserve. The book is almost written in two halves, and the second half is when you discover what the main character is about.

well written and worth the credit.

Very good

Enjoyed the story, but found the narrator a little monotone at times, sadly. But otherwise, very good story and well written

Really Great Story Fantastic Twist

I really enjoyed this book and the great twist which I really did not see coming. The characters were well drawn and interesting. In part one I kept thinking why is a counsellor being drawn into this relationship with David, but all became clear!!!
The only downside was the narration which I found intensely irritating, the whispery dialogue and the faux posh voice was a real turn off. Apart from this loved this book.

Good story but wish I had read the book

Really liked the story but nearly gave up several times because the narrator just didn’t work for me. She has a great voice for the right book but think a different narrator or maybe two would have brought the story to life. I listen to a lot of audio books and would consider the narrator again for a different type of book but it did get aggravating listening to her.

Very good!

I enjoyed this story. The characters are very good, even though it can be whiny at times. Enjoyed the narrator. A roller coaster ride until the very last word!😮😊😀

Mid-range thriller

That says it all. It’s a fairly off the peg thriller of the kind that abounds. Everything is not what it seems...kind of standard fare with this genre so the “twist” was hardly untelegraphed. The title indicated the change in perception of characters you knew was lying ahead. Nothing to rave about here but I’ve listened to worse. Mildly irritating narration - I hate the wistful edge so many female narrators adopt - but again I’ve heard worse.

Dire narration

I really persevered with this one as I love the author, but one more minute of “Jenny’s” breathy, barely there voice would have had me running for the hills (if we weren’t on lockdown!). Other voices were ok and I’m sure there are many who like the narration, but I couldn’t stomach it. I wonder if authors listen to an example of the narrators of their books as some must lose a lot of income with returned books due to substandard narration. When I have to keep rewinding because my concentration has drifted, I know it’s time to give up.

Excellent Originality

The story is a slow starter and to be honest I was tempted to give it up, but I'm so glad I didn't as the story developed into a fantastically complex spiders web of deception where I was never sure of the next turn.

Narrator driving me mad

I listen to loads of audio books and rarely have I struggled so much with a narrator , the quiet timid voice used for the central character is so irritating I think I am going to give up for the first time ever and read this on kindle , such a shame but not for me
