Don’t waste your time.

Revisado: 02-14-25

Full confession- I listened to the entire book while mostly saying to myself, why? Characters are flat. I didn’t care about any of them because author made no attempt to give them any kind of personalities, especially the lead detective. And plot holes? Anyone who watches/listens to true crime would know there is no way arrests and charging is done on no evidence other than the word of someone else. This is a really bad book.

Couldn’t get into it

Revisado: 08-09-24

I don’t like historical fiction that reads like a modern story with modern sensibilities on the part of the characters that are then plopped into a historical time period. Not for me. It made this story unbelievable with a feminist protagonist set in late 1700’s. I couldn’t keep going after the first two hours.

Fabulous read!

One of the best books I’ve read in a long time. Characters were quirky, loving, complicated. Story meanders but ends up coming together. Narrator made the book come alive. His different accents made it seem so real.

Sequel not good.

Revisado: 09-09-22

I read The Midnight Man. It was not a great book in my opinion but it did keep my interest. Thought I’d try same author in this the second of the series. Don’t bother. It’s a hot mess. Holes in plot never explained. How/why did Samson get adopted? Why was Noah only looking for two of his sibs and not Samson as well? These are just examples. It reads like the author was in a hurry to crank out a second book.
Same narrator for both books, but couldn’t stand how she did Sarah’s voice in this one. Like a little girl. Totally unbelievable to have a police detective sound like a simpering child.

I tried.

Couldn’t get past chapter 2. Narrator voice (sounds old) was jarring while trying to read part of young character. Plot boring. Gave up.

Meh

While it held my interest, by the end I still didn’t care about any of the characters. I finished it just to see how mysteries were resolved. Would tepidly recommend.

Not a GREAT book, but decent. Some surprises, which was welcomed. I wasn’t crazy about Frogget as narrator. She made Lulah sound like a simpering idiot.

Not a fan

Revisado: 11-08-21

Listened to the entire book. Sometimes compelling, sometimes boring. Many characters were not fully explained. How could Mona be as horrible as she was with an education and come from an established respected family? More explanation needed. Abuse happens in all socio economic groups but what made her so awful? How on earth did that sociopath father keep women falling in love with him? What did they see in him? Not a word explaining this. The abuse was horrific and yet David called his dad nearly every day near the end of his life. Why? I don’t find that admirable. He made his son conceal a murder among other horrible things. I was left with way more questions after this read and it was very unsatisfying.

I just couldn’t do it.

Revisado: 05-04-21

I tried. I got through intolerable final 4 hours. It was too blithery and light for the context. It was sappy. I kept making myself listen expecting it to get better. Even the constant teasing to find out what happens wasn’t enough to keep me going. I found a review of the end and what I’d missed. After reading that I’m glad I saved myself 4 hours to do something more productive. I clearly was not impressed with this book.

Stick with it

Revisado: 08-16-20

Up until the final 4 hours, I couldn’t decide if I actually liked this book. But it started to all come together and although I’m not one that easily cries, I found myself crying buckets during the last 20 minutes. Beautiful story and one that I think will stay with me for a long time.
