Amazing narrator!

I had to double check to see if it was more than one narrator! I can’t believe it is just one lady! Book is brilliant - definition of burying your head in the sand and thinking all around you is fine!

Not sure!

Good storyline but not sure which category it fits into. Not really a thriller. Wouldn’t put it in the crime section either. A good story with a soppy ending which was for me, disappointing.
Not one of Lisa’s best but wasn’t so bad that I abandoned it!
The narrator did her best trying to do a multitude of different voices but it almost spoilt it for me and just reading the story would probably of worked better.
Not great but not awful.

As usual another good book from Lisa Jewell

Whilst not my favourite book from this author it was an enjoyable listen. Lisa Jewell always serves up likeable well defined characters. I suppose my only complaint is the general lack of nail-biting excitement the story meandered along with no real twists.

A nice story, but not the best

The plot of this story was ok. But I agree with other reviews that it isn’t Lisa’s best. The narration was good. I just found the story to be slow in parts and bits I thought would develop more, went nowhere. Overall though a ‘nice’ story.

Meh

Not the best Lisa Jewell book I've read. Beautifully written and narrated but I didn't feel anything really happened in it. certainly not one her strongest books but thought provoking with a satisfying ending.
