Critic reviews

“A compelling psychological mystery that will keep you guessing.”—Woman’s Weekly

Keeps you guessing

I liked that it gave you background of characters and how they were intertwined. Never would of guessed the ending.

What a twist!

I was going to use this book for easy listening while I did chores. I was so so so wrong. I found myself standing and just listening, rewinding so I could listen again. The twist at the end? Never saw it coming.

The narrative

I stumbled through this just to have it behind me. The narrator was like listening to chalk on a chalk board! A book is only as good as its narration. I will never listen to this person “talk” again!

The storyline is intriguing and the twists and turns keep you engaged. The ending was a total surprise.

I struggled to finish the book because as much as I liked the storyline, the narration was so bland and annoying.
