Critic reviews

"Billie Sue Mosiman's novels are edge-of-the-seat all the way!" (Ed Gorman, award winning author of Bad Moon Rising)

Couldn't Get Past 15 Minutes

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Can't comment on the story because the narrator ruined this book. I have never had to stop a book because of the narrator.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Anything with a narrator that doesn't make disgusting sounds while reading

How could the performance have been better?

Change narrator

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Don't know didn't get past 15 minutes.

Average, Nothing Special

Would you try another book from Billie Sue Mosiman and/or Marshall J. Bean?

Possibly, though doubtful.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

It didn't really surprise me.

Did Marshall J. Bean do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes, I suppose the characters were developed well enough for the reader, but I kept thinking, 'how stupid' when Carla made choices that no reasonable human being would make.

Do you think Killing Carla needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No. Carla needs therapy.

Narrator ruins this story

I am about 1/2 through this book -- The narrator has a terrible case of dry mouth. You can hear him licking his lips and other sounds due to dry mouth. You also hear him turn the pages, turn away from the microphone and then pause as he turns the pages.

I am surprised this got through Quality Assurance at the recording studio.

Enjoyed the suspense.

Story was suspenseful & very rich in emotions...guilt, sorrow, need for revenge, feeling of forgiveness.

Really poorly developed plot

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

No one I know

What do you think your next listen will be?

Gone Girl

Would you be willing to try another one of Marshall J. Bean’s performances?

no way

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

none

Any additional comments?

I kept reading, thinking it would get better. I quit at about 80% read.
