Good overall

Revisado: 01-11-23

If this is the first review you read, skip all the others! I read opinions people had on the mother in this and it automatically colored my perception of her. I wish I had gone into it without that and I wish I knew what my feelings would have been without those thoughts put in my mind.

I enjoyed this quite a bit, kind of a dramatic story. It is a nice short listen. I don't love everyone in it, I feel like there is a little bias and lack of awareness in the production, but I'm happy I listened and I did enjoy it.

Book wad amazing

Revisado: 11-07-22

I absolutely loved the story, it was utterly fantastic in every way. I loved the two timelines and concept.

I rated the narration lower but kept the overall rating at five stars because even though I didn't like the narrator much, her voice kind of grated on me, the book was excellent enough to make it worth it. It may just be my own senses that made me not like her voice, I don't know whether there was anything about it that would bother others.

Not my favorite, but good.

Revisado: 10-11-22

I liked this book but didnt love it like others from Jodi Picoult. I love the recurring character Jordan in Jodi's books but I felt the courtroom scenes were lacking. I think realistically there would have been a lot more to the case and the questioning of witnesses. I would have liked more of the case being fleshed out. I felt so many of Lily's parts just dragged on and I got bored in places. However, it was a good subject to write about and could be eye opening for some people.

Key Taw's narration of Lily grated on my nerves for some reason. I just really don't like her voice. It was boring and sounded too lethargic for my liking.

Serious Gone Girl Vibes

Revisado: 10-05-22

I loved this book so much. It wasn't until about halfway through that it really took off for me, much like Gone Girl. I love twists and turns in stories and this had them. It was well written, not incredibly suspenseful but enough to keep me wanting more. I loved the ending and though some didn't think so, I thought it was a nice final touch.

The narration was good, the male voices bother me from time to time, but overall I was pleased with it.

Another great story

Revisado: 09-13-22

I enjoyed this book as much as Ware's others. Even more than some others. Just like the others it kept me guessing throughout but I figured it out a little bit before the reveal at the end. Definitely recommend this is you have enjoyed Ruth Ware's other books. Now I've finished all the ones she has on audible so I'm off to read more Lucy Foley since they are nearly the exact same writing style.

I bought a physical copy of this book about a year back and never got around to reading it so I was hesitant to do it on audible and thought I should just read the hard copy but Imogen Church's narration is always worth it.

Very much like Ruth Ware

Revisado: 09-08-22

If you are a Ruth Ware fan you will like this book. It could honestly almost have been written by her the style and content is so similar. Lucy Foley's twists are a bit more predictable than Ware's but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. It actually reminded me a lot of her book One by One. Good mystery suspense, I definitely recommend.

The narration was good but I particularly enjoyed Imogen Church as well as the person who played Miranda, I'm not sure who that was.

Good story overall

Revisado: 08-31-22

I loved this book, there are only a couple things I can day against it. One is that the way the main character treats her partner and her riteous indignation is infuriating. Hearing about her anger all the time was grating. The second is that it took me a while to actually get into the story. Once I was in I was hooked but it started very slow. Again though, I did love the book overall.

Imogen Church is a revelation.

Confused by other reviews..

Revisado: 08-25-22

I am so confused by the other reviews saying that the main character is so intolerable. I didn't think she was any different that the women in Ruth Ware's other books. I didn't find her to be unlikable, but perhaps her anxiety doesn't bother me because I live with generalized anxiety as well. I really loved this story, another fun ride.

As always, Imogen Church was superb. Her Brooklyn accent was lacking, but it can be hard to nail so I'm giving her a break.

Kept me guessing

Revisado: 08-22-22

I loved this book so much. There was never a time that I was certain what was going on and I enjoyed thinking it through and trying to figure out the outcome. I love how Ruth Ware writes mystery and though some plots can be a bit far fetched, I can suspend my disbelief and just enjoy it.

Imogen Church's narration was superb as usual. There was a bit of echo but it wasn't anywhere near constant and wasn't as bad as some other reviews have made it seem. I only noticed it once in a great while.

Regarding the comment that it is boring, just wait

Revisado: 03-16-22

I am incredibly patient, and I had a really hard time in the beginning with this book. It was every bit as boring as everyone said, BUT IT PICKS UP. Eventually, the Egyptology stuff calms down and it isn't like a textbook. After a few hours, the story becomes very intriguing.

I think this is my favorite of all of her books I have read. It made me feel a range of emotions, and I learned so many things about all kinds of subjects. The main character's indecisiveness was a bit grating, but I personally loved the ending. I was so worried about being disappointed, but I think it was the right way to end it.

I enjoyed the narrator; some of Jodi's other stories have been read by horrible ones, so this was relatively good. No complaints there.
