Allegedly

A Psychological Thriller

By: Tiffany D. Jackson

Narrated by: Bahni Turpin

Orange Is the New Black meets Walter Dean Myer s Monster in this gritty, twisty, and haunting debut by Tiffany D. Jackson about a girl convicted of murder seeking the truth while surviving life in a group home.

Mary B. Addison killed a baby.

Allegedly. She didn t say much in that first interview with detectives, and the media filled in the only blanks that mattered: a white baby had died while under the care of a churchgoing black woman and her nine-year-old daughter. The public convicted Mary and the jury made it official. But did she do it?

There wasn t a point to setting the record straight before, but now she s got Ted and their unborn child to think about. When the state threatens to take her baby, Mary s fate now lies in the hands of the one person she distrusts the most: her Momma. No one knows the real Momma. But does anyone know the real Mary?

Good story, GREAT narrator, ending a bit unreal.

I started thinking this book was going along adhering to the accepted formula, but it didn't quite do that. On the other hand, the main shift to the ending was done too abruptly, and while it was consistent with the story, it simply just happened, and that was a bit unsatisfying.

Bahni Turpin is a very fine narrator, and is a large part of why the book is a very enjoyable listen. Maybe the narration could have provided the forshadowing that was missing, but I don't think so---it's meant to be a last page reveal.

On the whole, though, pretty darned good!

Highly entertaining, thrilling read

While the narration of the book was excellent; perhaps the best I have heard in an audiobook, I felt strung along when I reached the ending. The author spends so much time developing this character and providing vignettes of who she is and how she reacts in different situations, only to betray us in the end without any explanation.

Wow!

This has a wicked twist! It was a great thriller! I m a officially a devoted Tiffany D Jackson fan! The narrator was awesome! She really was on point with the difference characters and the various accents. The combination her narration and Ms Jackson’s great story telling was phenomenal !

Surpisingly Good

This is the best narration I have listened to so far. Excellent story as well!

Kept me guessing

Wasn't sure what or who to believe for a lot of the book.There were a lot of twists and turns and guilty acting parties.I was entertained and this little girl is creepy whether she's an alleged killer or not
