About this listen
Critic reviews
"A mystery novel, but far more than that. It's gripping...Hill is wonderful." ( The Times)
Unfortunately this book was not for me. I am not sure if it was the narration or the writing style but I just could not get into the story or develop anything more than a severe dislike for any of the characters. I use audio books to help me sleep and this book just enabled my insomnia.............but I was committed to listening to it and always feel like I would be doing the author an injustice by giving up............and you never know if a book that starts of badly will pick up to have an amazing middle and end. Not the case here. Not a mystery, thriller or suspenseful book. The only thing that could have saved it was a nuclear explosion occurring at the start and then 16 hours of white noise.
However I refuse to give 1 star as even though I hated the story and narration, the book was well written with decent character development, it may just be that this was too gentle of a story for me.
Not for me.

I was really getting frustrated in this book, and nearly gave up on it - but I am glad that I persevered as I really enjoyed it in the end.
Really enjoyable
