Nice how everything tied together over the 3 books. Enjoyed the different time periods. History was an important factor to the story line.

Gripping!

An excellent conclusion to the trilogy. Exciting, intriguing, everything a thriller should be. Narration on point. Highly recommend!

Mostly ties everything up

With so many storylines weaved into three books, Wendy Corsi Staub does a pretty good job of tying everything up in the end with one exception, the angler storyline. With so many characters to keep up with and locations, and in this book, a lot of flashbacks, and time changes it’s possible that I just missed that storyline being fully explained. This was the most difficult series of books to listen to with so many awful things and awful characters weaved into this series. Child abuse, rape, brutal murders, extremely terrible characters, made these books almost too much to listen to. Several times I thought about just stopping. I’ve never had to take a break from any of her books usually I can’t wait to continue this series…I could not wait for them to be over.

READ ALL 3

Excellent series! If you like beginning to end books, read this series.
