Enjoyable!

I read a lot of other reviews that said the story was predictable, so maybe it’s me, but I did not see much of it coming. I enjoyed listening and thought the narrator had a great voice. I will agree with some other reviewers that there were a lot of characters and at times it was hard to keep track but don’t let that deter you from choosing this book. This wasn’t one of BA Paris’ top books but it was still really good.

Enjoyable but major narration/directing problem

This was a lot of fun and managed to surprise me with a number of things. I enjoyed it.
However, though the narrator has a pleasant voice, absolutely no attempt was made to differentiate between characters, even in back-to-back dialogue between two people. So there were times where the listener literally didn’t know who was saying what. I can’t imagine the actor is incapable of slightly changing her voice when needed lol so was this a director issue? Was she told to do it all in her voice only? Not sure what happened here

Caught off guard!

I thought I knew what was going to happen and who the culprit was, but Paris did such a good job keeping the details and story moving.

great story line.

lots of assumptions makes for many suspects so it's unclear until the end who's the killer.

Great read!

This book gave me a little anxiety hahaha but it is a really great book to read!
