Keeps your attention to the end

Excellent production of an intriguing storyline— and thankfully not graphic! Rupert Bush did an amazing job of narration.

Good mystery

It would be a more well rounded story if there was some humor in the characters, or at least one of the characters. I know it’s a serious drama but there’s always room for a clever character. I’ll continue to read the books.

Interesting plot

Too short not enough background on detectives and storyline. Loved the narrator’s performance. Just needs a little more insight.

Not outstanding, but not bad

This was a fairly short listen, but it flowed well. I don't recall any profanity or sex, so if there was some it was not excessive. Seems like someone would have noticed girls going missing, and that people close to the killer would have picked up on odd behavior, or maybe they did but chose to ignore it? Such things were not explained. I have no driving desire to continue with the series, but if I run out of my book backlog I may see if the next book in the series is any better.

Terrible but free

The narrator used periods like the end of the book. Each sentence was excruciating.
I listened because it was free but the story was bad as well.
Needs help for sure
