Predictable

Revisado: 12-04-23

The plot tries to have twists but it is entirely predictable and rather boring. The premise is weak. Do not recommend.

Stupid protagonist.

Revisado: 09-13-21

The writing is excellent. I generally enjoy this author. However, the main character in this book makes so many stupid decisions for no apparent reason, I found myself wishing it would end as a tragedy with the heroine in a grave. Also, this is one of those books where you figure out the “twist” in the first 50 pages but think, “That’s too obvious. It must be a red herring.” But then your obvious guess turns out to be the twist and you are left totally disappointed.

Disappointing

Revisado: 07-26-21

This book is a disappointing follow up to The Silent Patient. The characters are one dimensional and the author falls into the trap of showing a “random knife on the mantle” that is later revealed to be the “surprise” key to the mystery. In other words, it is totally predictable and just takes forever to get to an uninteresting destination.

Unlikeable, pretentious characters.

Revisado: 06-14-21

I am a Harlan Coben fan, so I purchased this book with high hopes. The narrator was good and the plotting was well done. BUT... the main character is such a pretentious, unlikeable, snob. He has no redeeming qualities and he spends all his time talking about how great he is and how terrific it is to be rich. The book is almost political in its emphasis on class and the excessive advantages given to those with money. While this may be true, I found its unapologetic tone offensive. I would not recommend this book, as it just left me with a sour taste. The characters are not likable at all, and this makes it nearly impossible to route for anyone. They take advantage of others without apology and feel entitled to everything. I wanted them to have a redeeming quality, but none ever came.

TV Series Wannabe...

Revisado: 09-21-19

This is the first review I have been compelled to write. This book is so awful I would give it zero stars if I could. It is very obvious that Patterson is simply trying to create another series for TV or movie options. The book has a bunch of quirky characters who live in a seaside Inn for reasons that make no sense. The plot slogs along so slowly it's painful. There are no twists or turns. Drug dealer in town. Vigilantes want to get rid of them. Yawn! There are no characters to sympathize with and all of the quirks they present with are just obvious characterizations designed to kick off a series. Patterson cranks out a book a week with all of his co-authors, so I suppose it's not a big surprise that some of the writing will be terrible. But this is beyond awful. Do not waste your money.

Frustrating book

Revisado: 04-27-18

Would you listen to Hello Again again? Why?

I would not. The actor who read this book was excellent, but the story does not call for a relisten.

What was most disappointing about Brenda Novak’s story?

The story is too obviously a part 1 in a series. Many characters were introduced and many plotlines were developed that wound up going nowhere. The book ended with a bunch of loose threads that made me feel like I'd been duped into wasting a lot of time listening to a story that was designed to get me to buy the next book.

Have you listened to any of Therese Plummer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No
