Dark, disturbing...and possibly not returnable

This is an interesting collection. A few stories in, however, it became clear that it wasn't for me. I found it extremely disturbing -- violence, cruelty, torture, incest, etc. Even though there were more than 4 hours left in the book and I'd bought it with a credit, Audible would not allow me to return it. I'm assuming that the problem wasn't that I'd gotten too far into this title, but that I've returned "too many" titles that I didn't like once they got going. I have no idea what Audible's limits are about this, but I really don't think I abused the ability to return books I didn't like. Learn from my wasted credit: Don't get this if you are at all sensitive to cruelty, torture, and the like.

I keep hoping that Ruth Ware will write something that's actually good. All of her books seem to have potential, but fail to realize it. This is the worst one. The main character is insipid. I'm happy to read a book with unsympathetic leads, as long as they are interesting. These characters are not interesting. The core plot is good. But the novel is bloated. And the narration makes it so much worse. It's as though the narrator is trying to exaggerate the most irritating aspects of each character. She really goes all in, and it just underlines how bad the writing is. Ugh. Read some Tana French or PD James if you want a mystery.
