Insufferable

Revisado: 09-16-23

I typically enjoy this author but this book was a huge letdown. It started off okay but the “good” character was a nightmare. She is supposed to have high morals but she’s self righteous and completely off base. Hard pass.

Great

I found the book predictable but really enjoyed it nonetheless. Loose ends were tied up which I appreciated.

Had to return it

Revisado: 04-09-23

I thought it would be interesting as I recently heard the real deuxmoi on a podcast but the story never went anywhere interesting. I couldn’t finish it and had to return it. I felt bad but I just couldn’t finish this one.

Predictable but enjoyable nonetheless

This is definitely worth a listen/read. The very end was disappointing because I knew where the story was headed from the beginning but it was a realistic ending.

Entertaining but good not great

Revisado: 10-10-22

I enjoyed this book but didn’t love it. The narrator did pronounce some words oddly and did choose strange places to annunciate but it didn’t annoy me. My main complaints were 1) the author didn’t show the reader who the main character was in flashbacks (unless she was supposed to be just kind of bland) and 2) there were some plot device loose ends that weren’t tied up.

Stellar

Revisado: 07-13-22

I love domestic thrillers but have a knack for identifying “twists” early. It’s disappointing because books my family and friends love, seem predictable to me for whatever reason. The way this story was told, alternating two timelines seamlessly, kept me engaged and guessing which I’m always wanting in a mystery/thriller. Sometimes you only care about one of the timelines in a novel. In this case I was as invested as much in the past as present. Recommend if you like a solid mystery. There was only one plot hole for me which is an opinion so not necessarily a true plot hole.

I’m so happy I preordered this book!

If you listen to Danny’s podcast, you are already familiar with his intellect, humor and compassion and understand why people hire him to write for them. If you don’t listen, A) you need to start and B) you will still enjoy this book. My only criticism (which really isn’t intended to be a negative one) would be that some of the stories I have heard before. I’m a longtime listener and fan so take that with a grain of salt. That being said, I was happy to hear them again because Danny is such a compelling storyteller.

Distracting Word Choices

Revisado: 02-16-22

The story and format were compelling. The theme of the book was and important topic. Unfortunately I was often distracted by word choices. The author must not live in the United States because the words and phrases she used often felt out of place for a story set in North Carolina (physiotherapist, jelly and peanut butter, jetty etc.). I kept questioning if the story was set elsewhere. Of note, there were some descriptions of assault which could be triggering.

Nope

This one fell flat for me. The story wasn’t very clever and the main character had zero personality so it was hard to care about her.
