It is rather like class in criminality. .

Revisado: 02-14-25

Really is like entries in a notebook from a criminology class in undergrad. I took one.
It doesn’t read like a typical nonfiction/fiction book with a singular story. Jumps around. No thanks.

Cliche at every turn.

Cliches every where. Main char. Catastrophizes, in un realistic ways...
Her marriage though finally PG after years and miscarriages…. But what if he leaves me?? And so does the husband. Couldn’t continue… sorry. Not.

I couldn’t keep going. Left story with 1.5 hrs left

Revisado: 08-13-23

The plot was very like the JonBennet
Ramsey murder case in Boulder CO, 1996, which remains unsolved. I couldn’t get past it. Lots of clichés throughout. The reader is very familiar and her voice given to males in the story is distracting. Not in a good way. I am having poor luck with finding a really great murder/suspense/
drama. 🙁

Meh.

Did not engage me. Story was predictable. Fair amount of repetition. The narrator was fine. I quit listening when killer was revealed, not staying beyond the holiday meal. Have had bad luck with mysteries for a long time. I guess I will go back to fiction.

The story did not capture me.

Revisado: 05-20-22

A futuristic plot, with the lead character
working to outsmart The Watchers: those in authority that endlessly monitor individuals to assure rules/laws of society are being followed. Control control. Reminiscent of The Handmaids Tale. Controlled behavior. Controlled thinking. Controlled everything.
Each story has a heroine who challenges The Absolute Authority, finding their way to keep their minds right and their true compass alive.

Scrambled eggs

My iPhone kept me frustrated. For some reason bit was not keeping my place on the tape when I stopped listening, then later resumed. Very off. I had to keep listening and going backward or forward in plot. The book is in 3 parts. Sometimes it went from part 1 to part 3. Yes, I rebooted my phone a couple of times.
Plot was meh. Rather predictable after stage was set. Overall, not a great experience.

Tiny town that has had two missing girls, presumed murdered, and their friend who aches to find out what happened to them.

Revisado: 05-28-21

Painted a very good pic of characters and settings of town, the smell of perfume and old dust and old things. Rooms, memories. A murderer in lain sight. Girlhood best friends in tiny town. Tiny tired town with a history of 2 missing girls. A murderer living in plain sight. One young woman’s quest to find her friends and what happened to them. Personal tragedies and grief. A search for truth and closure.

Cliches anyone?

Very very predictable plot. No mystery. No
risk of ‘I can’t put this down!’ Disappointed..

I tried to like it. Can’t. I made it thru 7 chapters.

Revisado: 05-06-20

I love suspense mysteries. This book kept causing me to eye roll until I could stand it no longer.
Lead character woman and mother with Federal Agency creds and history has arrived home, opening door to her house & has urgent sense of foreboding. No sounds of fam. life. So she moves room to room.... searching with dread in her heart.... And here we have a history lesson on gaberdine fabric, and full descript. of a trench coat down to “buttons and D rings.” Really? 🙄. Plot slow. She works for Coronors Office. And of course has to take her missing family’s case into her own hands....with help of typical gruff, salty, crabby detective who swears a lot and is devoid of social skills. Too Cliché for this listener. Will check back and see what others think.

Not what I was expecting.

Revisado: 08-24-19

Plot was rather predictable. Some musings and trailing descriptions were over the top, and didn’t contribute to the story. Tough cop, serial killer, damsel in distress.
