Very enjoyable

This was a very enjoyable listen. The story was intriguing an very well thought out. The narrator did a very good job with portraying the many characters in the storyline. Overall a good listen.

Made me Angry

Predictable. Big business and greed. Women taken advantage of. An age old plot. Deception. I had to ff to get to the end. The story's saving point was the adorable character Mina.
I have read two other Halley Ephron books and enjoyed them thoroughly. She's a good writer.
Sorry to give this one a thumbs down.

Excellent and Suspensful

Any additional comments?

I can't wait for another book by Hallie Ephron on Audible. This was an excellent suspense/mystery with great plot twists. A must listen. The only down side is I finished so quickly.

Highly recommend
