This is the first book I have listened to by this author & I really enjoyed it. It was quick moving with many twists & turns. I certainly didn’t guess the final twist. A well thought out story. I did find the narrator’s American accent for the character of Mary a bit grating but otherwise I enjoyed the way the book was read. I shall certainly be looking for more books by this author.

Great story with lots of twists

I tried many times to guess who and what was going on but still never seen the twist coming. Was really enjoyable and good character development.

Great read, did expect the twist

I loved this story. The narrator was fine in some ways but her accents were truly appalling. A police woman from Newcastle who’s described as having a soft Geordie accent given a Merseyside accent and many many more. Who on earth allows that to be published?? It’s as if she’s never come into contact with anyone from the UK. Someone needs to give her a map. She does a series of vague northern accents regardless of the description in the story because she clearly has no idea where the various characters are from. I have no idea how accurate her US accent is or whether that’s equally awful. Also she speaks so quickly. The pace is so fast that I had to rewind often and eventually set it at half pace. The alternative was to process about a quarter of the narration which isn’t acceptable for a crime drama. Another great book let down by sloppy narration. Its such a shame. It happens too often. Why aren’t there producers watching out for this??

Brilliant story but bizarre narration
