Too much padding

Got half way through but in the end I just couldn’t listen to any more . Far too much padding .

Great

This was a very emotional read, more so than I expected. Written from several points of view, the reader gets a full insight into what each of the characters are thinking and feeling. I could feel the anguish and frustration of Justin mounting with every page, whilst Alicia's heartbreak and pain was palpable. This book definitely packed an emotional punch.

I listened to this on audio. The narration was very good and the character's easily identifiable.

Too obvious and boring

I thought it had a strong opening but after that everything went downhill. Too many slow parts. Characters were underdeveloped and unlikable. I'd hoped there would be a bigger twist but there wasn't. I keep choosing the wrong books 😭

Not overly engaging

I loved a previous book by the same author so was really looking forward to this. The last parts were good but other than that it struggled to keep my attention.

Brilliant

Loved it! Kept me interested all along so much do that I got next to no work done and lost sleep for 3 days! But the dog enjoyed his longer walks at least!
Love Tamsin Kennards narration as always.
I did guess the ending but it didn’t spoil the book. Just bought the babysitter to give a whirl.

a great listen

thoroughly enjoyed this book from the start, the concepts involved were great and flowed very well together. the characterisations were very good. it was a great tale of pointing out dangers involved within the different concepts and scenarios. The final chapters were thrilling and the twist.... well! It was well read.

Quite Good

Lots of tragedy and a catalogue of disasters leading to a bit of an improbable scenario but an enjoyable read nonetheless. Not sure the twist at the end was exactly a surprise but still justice got done. Not too sure about the narrators male voices but ignore that and it’s worth a listen.

Enjoyable Read The Affair

Enjoyed The Affair, good story line, nice easy read. A few surprises along the way. Gathered momentum half way through.

Not the greatest listen!

Long winded. Copious use of word extensions - confusedly, bewilderedly.
The story and plot weren’t bad but read so slowly especially at the end if each chapter. So much so that I thought my phone’s battery had died several times.
Reader’s voice grated before halfway through book. :(
