Not Your Typical Female Protagonist

Revisado: 01-04-24

This book was amazing. The story - the plot - the themes of status and power and manipulation of the human psyche - (soft spoiler alert) even down to the author’s own ability to manipulate the truth.

Maya doesn’t need her hand held. She’s smart. She’s analytical. She utilizes the set of tools and skills she has. She doesn’t cry and despair at the difficulties she’s facing - she pushes through. I loved this character.

Narration was superb.

I haven’t cried at the ending of a book in a very long time and this one got me. Get this one. You won’t regret it.

So good!

Great storytelling. Really good story. Easy listen. I was invested and bunged all the episodes over like four days. Really hope there’s a season 3!

I honestly thought i had it figured out... i didn’t. Amazing. Literally left guessing until the last chapter. So good!

Good good read

Revisado: 01-26-21

Oh i loved this book. I will say the ending did slightly let me down in terms of a confusing element but i was weeping during the final paragraphs. Narration was great. All in all, a solid purchase.

Saw the “twist” 100000 miles away

Revisado: 01-19-21

It could be that i have read and/or listened to enough thriller/mystery/suspense books to fill a library but i saw the twist coming from the moment it was set up. I persevered however, thinking how could this be it? How could something so painfully obvious be the twist?? So i listened until the very end and the fact i was correct, was a huge let down.

However as far as the concept for the story goes it wasn’t bad. Perhaps it seemed exaggerated but i do not live in high society so maybe some of the details weren’t that far fetched. I enjoyed not knowing the major “what happened” exactly, but I wasn’t necessarily displeased with it. Basically this is an ok book.

Eh

Boring story. Took forever to get started. Unrealistic coincidences. Hastily wrapped up ending. The performance by the narrators was well done, however.

Brilliant!

Revisado: 07-07-20

This was a fantastic debut! Part ethereal, part psychological, part suspense. I couldn’t stop listening regardless of the way it made me double check my locks (or quadruple that is). The story was full, the characters well developed and the plot did not seem far fetched even with the hint of something paranormal on the edges of the story. I felt for the main character and his son. My heart ached for them. I was fully wrapped up in this story.

I saw a couple mention that Eccleston was not an affective narrator but I couldn’t disagree more. He voice held my attention and his choices on performance were, i felt, just right.

Can not wait for this authors next book!

Predictable...slow build.. limited pay off

Revisado: 10-29-18

I just don’t get these rave reviews. I mean. I know I’ve read tons of these domestic thrillers but this story was very predictable... the “twists” aren’t too twisty if you pay attention. Which i won’t lie, that part was difficult. I wanted to scream at the female lead and how repetitive she was... i read another review saying it stopped around chapter 20 so i battled on.

Spoiler alert...

I just didn’t think the ending was realistic. If Simon was painted as this evil, psychopath, sociopath or whatever the ending wouldn’t have been him taking the blame for his child... ppl like that don’t identify with these needs... they are strictly unemotional and unattached.

The only thing that saved this for me was the excellent narration. Loved this performer.

Is there gonna be a sequel?

Revisado: 08-28-18

It was pretty good. Better than what i normally find. The story was good but idk.. i hate that you never get the truth behind the main protagonist.. not really. Which i guess is the sign of good writing. You can’t trust what’s being said just because it’s being said... i just hope there’s a sequel.
