I was so excited to see that Eddie Redmayne was narrating but didn’t realize this wasn’t a novel telling the story of the film. Like others have said, I should have read the description. Not ideal for an audiobook.

As a woman, we are used to seeing movies, tv shows or reading books that begin with a vicious rape scene or rape-murder. Unfortunately this descriptive aggression towards women (for entertainment purposes) has become the norm. The descriptive and explicit sexual violence towards young girls and women in this novel are completely irrelevant to the story. This entire murder mystery could have literally gone without it and 0 part of the story would have been affected. When the book finished I found myself asking “but why did you put me through that?!” I admit I found the story enticing and almost ordered the sequel, only to read the description to find more martial rape and another vicious murder of a woman. Let’s do better, for god sakes. Also the narrator was breathing so heavily it was completely distracting. I had to consciously train myself to block out her loud inhales before every sentence. Again— can’t we do better?
