Highly imaginative but disappointing ending.

Revisado: 04-30-25

I found this story captivating at first but the longer I listened the harder it was to follow. There were too many characters, too many ideas. I feel it could have used some editing. The characters that were the best met bad endings or turned out not to be real. And it was very far fetched and unbelievable. But it had a lot of good things about it to like being suspenseful and it kept you wondering what was going to happen next.

Excellent Short Story. Well Done Narration.

Revisado: 03-17-25

It moved along at a fast pace, was suspenseful and thought provoking. Reminded me of The Substance which I had just watched the night previous. It kept those creepy vibes going.

Almost Good.

Revisado: 02-25-25

The characters in this story were well drawn but the book fell apart at the end. It’s as if the author said let me put so many twists that make no sense in the book and that will make it more interesting. Sadly it just made the book unsatisfying and unbelievable and insulting. The ending was such a let down I will be sure and never read a book by this author again. I’m glad it was free.

Not My Sisters Keeper, would be a better title. Entertaining, Well Written, Far Fetched.

Revisado: 12-04-24

I liked the whole angle of being left a fortune by someone unknown. Who doesn’t have that fantasy? I liked the artist storyline and interesting characters. The ending was unpredictable and that’s because it wasn’t plausible. Why would anyone be rewarded for not looking after their sister by a total stranger?

Excellent writing about an area I hiked often brought this story to life!

Revisado: 08-22-24

I liked everything about this story right down to the narrator. The characters were rich and complex. The story was intriguing, kept me up well into the night. This is not your typical who done it. The writing was so elevated and beautiful. Glad I found this book. Highly recommended!!!! And finally a writer who knows how to write an ending. Thank you.

It started out great ended with a fizzle.

Revisado: 08-08-24

It had a great start, it captured your interest but the characters had no natural curiosity. Didn’t follow up on clues. Just went to bed or fought with each other. Could have been so much better. They were so weak. They couldn’t put 2 and 2 together until everything was explained to them at the end. Not very satisfying. I find it a little hard to believe people so successful could be so stupid, so I had a hard time suspending my disbelief which is really needed to make a book remarkable. It is ridiculous to imagine anyone would believe the lies of people they just met rather than their girlfriend of five years. Every character in the book was so unreal. It’s just not plausible and not plausible that a person would just forgive them after that. Weak women don’t interest me much, weak men even less. Dumb ending.

Absolutely Fascinating!!! Great writing!!✍️

Revisado: 03-05-24

I learned so many things about archaeology, politics, dinosaurs, history, current events, people… I was held spellbound from beginning to end. Wish there were more books like this. I learned a lot about the author too who is a favorite of mine. I found myself stopping reading to learn more about each mystery that was discussed. That’s the sign of a great book, it makes you want to learn more and inspires you. It made me want to go on a dig and also that I went on one in my mind. Bravo Douglas Preston. Write another please!!🙏

Trash

Revisado: 12-19-23

I invested a few hrs in this and was really surprised that it was nothing like Charles Dickens original story. Please don’t waste your time. Complete nonsense and rubbish.

Rubbish!!!

Revisado: 12-02-23

This story was complete rubbish! The build up was great, you’re waiting for some great ending that will tie the whole thing together. Like maybe Charlie pushed Clare in a fit of temper. Or maybe Clare is the shadowy figure stalking around entrapped by her greedy parents but no they bring in some characters at the end that hardly had anything to do with story. The ending is unreal, preposterous and implausible. I think they are just churning these books out now. Kinda like Goosebumps for adults. Don’t waste your time unless you’re desperate. It was free after all.

Great plot build up weak ending.

Revisado: 11-23-23

It was very good at first very intriguing but then it just turned cookie cutter at the end. Impossible to believe a woman would put her children in such harms way. And to bring her sister in at the end made no logic sense. No big surprises here. I’m glad it was free.
