Thought provoking

Revisado: 02-08-25

Makes you think about whether you’d open the box? I think yes. Has reinforced for me the importance of living every day :-). Will likely listen to it again.

Wow more than I expected!

Revisado: 01-18-25

First of all January LaVoy did an outstanding job as narrator of this book! She added so much to the story through her presentation of the characters.

As for the story itself, I loved all three of the main characters, and that they were presented as real women who evolved and were strong and distinctive and independent in their own, right, and turned into superheroes to solve outstanding murders of young women and work to protect young women in the future. Definitely recommend this read!

Complex story about Germany after WWII - and the allies perspectives at the beginning of the Cold War

Revisado: 11-03-24

Definitely became engaged with the major character characters in the book and found myself staying up late to know what happened next.

Provided insight into the Allies perspectives as well as the German and Austrian people. Realistic portrayal of the US, British and Russian positioning for power in Germany and the horrific, but true fact that all three countries recruited some former Nazis due to their knowledge, despite their war crimes, and allowed others to escape to South America.

The novel focuses on women’s roles in the war, both positive and negative and, in some cases, just trying to survive. Definitely a worthwhile read.

Disappointing end

Revisado: 08-31-24

Was okay. Strange having a male narrator given that the story is told from a woman’s perspective, and the strongest characters are all women. Parts of the book were very engaging and you were cheering for the protagonist, but the end was kind of rote and disappointing.

Not her best work

Revisado: 08-07-24

Quick story, not her best. The female lead is supposed to have a doctorate in engineering but seems flaky and is constantly second guessing herself - disappointing. Very little STEM references - which I missed as a woman in Tech. Narrators were fine.

Meh? Couldn’t get into this book

Revisado: 05-10-24

If you’re going to listen to it, immediately put it on 1.2 speed as the narrator speaks so slow.

I almost returned this book at multiple times as I was listening - found the lead overly emotional and impulsive, and the narration didn’t match his age/persona. I hung in and it was okay, but definitely not my favourite Patterson book.

War/post-war female lead with grit, intelligence and compassion

Revisado: 01-22-24

Interesting novel with a number of twists and turns switching from the 1st and 2nd World Wars and the post war periods. The female protagonist is complex and compelling. And I learned more about these periods and the impact to people in these eras. Looking forward to reading more from this author and hopefully this narrator.

Witty fun full-cast romance

Revisado: 01-01-24

Great lead narrators and loved the full cast of narrators — really added to the story. Witty dialogue and good storyline. Liked that it didn’t have much angst (will they/won’t they drama). Will look for more titles by this author and these narrators.

Unique and interesting story

Revisado: 12-29-23

I’m really getting into these characters and rooting for them. Unusual to be set in the 30s during the depression, early aviation, and a save the world supernatural twist. Really hoping Audible will get the next 3 books in the series.

Charming and quirky

Entertaining novel, witty and fun dialogue, interesting premise and likable characters. And the narrators did a great job. Glad it’s a series, looking forward to the next books.
