Another great read by Susan Lewis

I enjoyed this but I wished they'd stuck to the narrator used for the previous books at in this area. I just didn't relate to the characters in the same way because of it. In particular the voice used for Andee swung between American and the local accent.

Not up to her usual standard.

Overall I liked the story, but the frequent repition of phrases like 'cocktail me up', especially when referring to wine (not cocktails) was cringe-worthy. I'm normally a big Susan Lewis fan, but in places this felt quite forced. Hopefully just a blip and the next will be back on track.

Good story

I have listened to a lot of Susan Lewis books and like the characters especially Andi Lawrence - for some reason in this book she had developed an American accent not sure why but found it a bit off putting

Oh dear...

What a load of twaddle. I kept listening to the end as I was sure that it would improve but sadly it didn’t.

Intriguing crime but

Good crime plot and great suspense through the novel that kept me listening, but REVOLTING depiction of class relations, with the lower classes practically thanking wealthy older man for sleeping with their vulnerable teenage daughter - also gender roles and relations all a bit 1950s, though it is set now; felt a bit sickened and depressed by it at the end, and wish I hadn’t allowed myself to be hooked by the plot.

Good story, quite drawn out

Good story but quite drawn out between the event and the conclusion. Unnecessarily long for that reason.

Read until the end

Not a great start to this story, takes a while to get going. But loved the twists and turns to this story and a great ending

Boring waffle

Just lots of talking about nothing with horrendous ‘posh’ accents thrown in. Couldn’t get past 2 hours as I was thoroughly fed up with absolute nothing happening!
