I'm conflicted. Like others have said, there are way too many characters. I went crazy trying to keep track of them. But once I decided to not worry about it and just listen to the story it really didnt matter. I liked some of the secondary stories and how they got tied together. While I loved the edge of your seat suspense, the ending was a big disappointment. There wasn't a great reveal or mystery after all that build up.

Nope

Made it halfway then could not take anymore! There is very little "story". It reads like a psychology textbook on anxiety, memory and cognitive behavioral therapy. The narrator's tone is pretty clinical as well.

Confusing narrator

Revisado: 01-04-21

The narrator was so frustrating! Her tone does not change for any of the characters. Not. At. All. I never knew who was speaking. On top of that, I could never tell if the character was saying the dialogue out loud or if they were thinking it. If it weren't for this book being so short I would have stopped listening. However the writing was good and it held my attention. I enjoyed the story.

Wow

They aren't kidding about the narration! I can't review the story because I couldn't listen to it for very long. This is the first time I haven't finished a book based on the narrator.

Not sure

Revisado: 08-21-20

I only listened to the first 3 hours before giving up. So I don't know if I can give it a fair review. But I returned it and feel I should say why. I just had a hard time staying engaged. My mind kept wandering off. Then I would skip back, listen again and still be confused! I think it was the book within a book part that lost me. There were 2 viewpoints, Eve, the surviving victim and Jim, the killer. They were mostly in the present but would also remember the past. Then there was the telling of his other crimes in the past which just got muddled with the rest. It went on and on, explaining many of the other crime's details. In fact, I would say about 80% was short stories of other crimes he committed. I know you need some of it to understand the killer but it quickly became boring and disturbingly repetitive. We get it, raped and murdered. If it were a regular book I would have definitely skimmed over these parts and gotten to the good stuff, the characters of the actual story in the present. The whole game of catching the Killer! With that said, I think the problem lays with me! The reviews, here and on Goodreads, are some of the best I've ever seen. So don't listen to me!

3 1/2 Stars rounded up!

Revisado: 08-15-20

I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't wait to get back to it! I started getting angry towards the end but it eventually pulled it all together. But I had big issues with a few things.
Possible spoiler---- I dont think it is but other's might!
The summary says the cop is a possible suspect so I dont think the following is a spoiler. At a certain point he is in possession of the victim's phone. He leaves it on and on him at ALL times. Seemingly unconcerned that the police would trace it. And they don't. No one bothers to trace a murder victim's phone. Uugh!
Another maybe spoiler...
There is a group of girls who used to all be friends in high school. After 2 of them die, the remaining girls are not concerned for their safety. Neither are the police. Really?!!
I can overlook a lot for a good story but it was infuriating! If you can too, I recommend this book!

So Good!

Revisado: 07-18-20

This book held my attention the whole way through ( my main barometer for reviews!). Towards the end I couldn't wait to get back to it and sometimes I would just sit in my car and listen! I was hesitant about this one because I've read some reviews that made the abuse sound horrifying. Dont get me wrong, he is awful; A narcissistic SOB! But in the Domestic Thriller Universe, it wasn't that bad!

Loved it!

Revisado: 07-08-20

I really enjoyed this book. It kept my attention the whole way through (my mind can wander off with some books!). The only complaint I have is that Eric's accent seems to come and go.

Good Read

Revisado: 07-02-20

Overall I really liked this story. One big complaint, however. While you are listening to dialogue from the present time it will switch to the past then back and forth without marking the transitions. I had to skip back all the time and pay close attention to the minor "pause" between time periods. In the written book it is marked by putting the past parts in italics. It was still enjoyable and worth a credit!
