Critic reviews

"[M]ay be his most ambitious - and accomplished - work to date....Powered by darkly poetic atmospherics and deep character development, this harrowing and heartrending novel will leave readers guessing until the very last pages." ( Publishers Weekly)

Narrator

The female narrator was really not good. She did not need to announce the title of the book or author each time. Her voice was hard to listen to. Luckily she didn't read more than she did or it would have been hard to finish the book.

We’ll done

Totally enjoy this series and the intelligence of the writing. Love the characters and storyline.

Great Thriller

In the audible, I wish the female voice was female sounding, but that can be overlooked. Even though I figured out who the murder was, .the story at the end fits it all together very well

Kept me guessing!

I enjoyed this one and looking forward to reading others in the series! Some of the women’s voices though a bit rough!

Good, however……

Good story. Narration was good except for Maggie’s voice….. Good thing she was not a major character!
