Narrator Outstanding

Revisado: 02-06-25

The narrator did a fantastic job differentiating the multiple characters but the story its self was sorely lacking. I believe I bought this from the daily special and the genre was stated as mystery/thriller. I obviously was just trying out the author because the title should have been my clue that it was not my cup of tea. I don’t generally enjoy horror books and one that kills kids is exceptionally abhorrent to me.

Ghost/Haunted House Story NOT Mystery

Revisado: 07-26-24

This book was presented as a quirky, subtlety comical, mystery novel. Instead, it was a dark fairytale. I hung in until the end but did not enjoy the unimaginative, irritating, overused reference to the ‘

Name Game

Revisado: 07-23-24

I can’t be the only one that can’t remember names! The story was good and had the requisite twists and turns and a bit (a lot) of surprises at the end. However, my ADD had me rewinding over and over again to keep up with all of the characters and names! Not only did you have to keep up with first names when the teen characters were first introduced and throughout the ‘action’ with the matured, adult characters; you also had to try to remember the ‘sir’ names used by the investigative force - necessitating a rewind again and again! If you have a good memory for names (or are astute enough to develop a character list) and enjoy crime/mystery, you will undoubtedly enjoy this ‘book’ even more than I did.

Not up to par!

Revisado: 12-02-23

I agree with some of the earlier reviews that commented on the narrator crossing over between the Dallas books. It was very disconcerting. I alsoa had to listen to several chapters throughout the book over again to try to connect the dots. I thought the space autopsy was a bit bizarre and distracting. I didn’t know if we were moving from mystery to science fiction. I definitely did not appreciate that part of the storyline. Also, the ending personnel decisions regarding the good doctor seemed very unlikely and unrealistic to me.

Good Book

Revisado: 10-15-23

First time to read/ listen to this author. Slow start but overall a really good whodunit. I am going to look at other books by this author.

Mystery Fans Will Love Beautifully Written and Read

Revisado: 05-20-23

First book I’ve ‘read’ by this author and narrator. Love the writing style of the author and the narrator was excellent! Don’t like giving 5 stars but really wanted to encourage mystery fans to listen to this book. I generally listen to mysteries because I like to put the puzzle pieces together as early as possible and contrast with the author’s conclusion. With this book you get the puzzle, twists, and turns (and more twists and turns) with a beautifully told story that uses the entire toolkit of the English language without being ostentatious and verbose. Perfect imagery. If I had to identify a ‘fault’, I would say that the ending was too perfect. There were too many overlapping, character relationships that are suddenly revealed at the end.

Loved main character

Really enjoyed the story and the main character. Always looking for a series with a strong female. Will definitely listen to the next in the series.

Couldn’t Put It Down

Revisado: 09-30-22

I have listed to over 500 audible books and this is one of my favorite of the genre. I literally couldn’t put it down. I listened to it from beginning to end the same day. This was much better than the first book in the series. I am definitely going to finish the series!
