Disappointing

Revisado: 10-21-24

This story was just could not hold my interest, sadly. EH is one of my favorite authors, and I looked forward to this book as soon as I heard about it, but I did not enjoy it.

Absolutely loved and devoured this gripping thriller!!!

Revisado: 08-24-24

This is one of those audiobooks that you don’t want to end!!! I had a difficult time listening to the narrator, one of my favorite actresses Laura Benanti. Very early on I found myself annoyed by some mild over-enunciation, but I got used to her style quickly. She voiced and captured each character perfectly!!! I loved the intensity and the twists of this book and then end was very satisfying!

It was a compelling story line.

Revisado: 07-14-24

There was a lot going on in this book, a lot of distracting directions that seemingly went no where, and many characters that were not necessary to the story. I had to go back and re-listen to sections numerous times to try and understand something. I loved the authors other books, and the ending was satisfying, but I can’t recommend this book. The worst thing for me was the narration. I hate being critical of a narrator, but I have to be honest and say the narration was the biggest distraction.
I wish I had listened to my initial instincts and asked for a refund early in this audiobook.

Mixed Feelings As Both A Diver And A Woman

Revisado: 06-20-24

As a diver and a fan of the crime thriller genre, I was excited to read this book. I was disappointed in some of the ways the female lead character was portrayed. Her character was muddy, at best, when the author paints her as both honest and honorable yet also someone who admits to trapping a man into a relationship by getting pregnant. That last part was not believable to me based on all of the other evidence of her character and almost made me stop reading.
Then she grabbed her “oxygen tanks” to dive with. 🙄. Why can’t you just say air tanks? Even the Nitrox mix only contains 32% oxygen. I’m not asking for perfection, but somethings are glaringly wrong. The diving references were amateurish at best, and some were just embarrassing to listen to.
For instance Slone is a reckless and careless diver. I am aware this is fiction and I tried to give some leeway, but any diver who took the risks that she took and acted with the utter recklessness that the author assigned to her would be dead. (Read Shadow Divers by Robert Kurson to see how actual human divers who take similar risks fare with these kinds of risks. Spoiler Alert: some of them die.)
I was intrigued by the story line, although the menagerie of life threatening situations and the sheer number of different types of crime and potential criminals was exhausting and eye rolling at times. I did finish the book, and despite the criticisms I had, overall I enjoyed the book.
I see this is a series… I am going to attempt to listen to the 2nd book, but if the diving references continue to be this bad I will request a refund.

The story was compelling…the characters were fully developed and stayed true even through plot twists. The narration was perfect by both actors. Fantastic!!!

It was a good book. I loved the narrators.

It was a compelling story, but the end seemed rather abrupt. It felt like it ended too soon, and with only the wrap up of a few of the characters.

Gripping, Kept Me Hooked

Revisado: 01-25-24

I was addicted to this book. First of all Julia Whelan is one of the best narrators in audiobooks as far as I’m concerned, but the story kept me guessing right up to the very end. I loved it!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
