UrbanMyth: It was lauded as an alternative to the performative, show-your-best-self platforms—an anonymous discussion board grouped by zip code. The residents of Manhattan’s exclusive Upper East Side disclosed it all, things they would never share with their friends or their spouses: secret bank accounts, steamy affairs, tidbits of juicy gossip. So when a “hacktivist” group breaks into the forum and exposes the real identity of each poster, the repercussions echo down Park Avenue with a force that none could have anticipated.

12 hours I can't get back
What a SLOW start to a predictable, boring, drawn out story. I only kept listening in hopes that it would pick up & something would happen to make my time invested worthwhile. I was extremely disappointed. The narrator annoyed me on top of it all. I would look elsewhere for a book to listen to.

Surprisingly satisfying!
Any additional comments?
First I wasn't familiar with the narrator Beverley A. Crick, she did an outstanding job with the various characters' voices and I will definitely listen to her again. The book overall kept me interested although I thought some of the characters could have been fleshed out a little more. I went into the listen thinking I knew what to expect, i.e. your typical "missing child" mystery ...boy was I wrong, there was lot more going on here and that made the listen interesting. With lots of twists and turns right up to the end, I gave it 4 stars and will look for more from this author.

Great writing....dark humor and tragic at the same time
Love the snarky, the cynical narration. The narrator nailed the feel of the book. The dark, yet comical absurdity of it all.
I felt a range of emotions reading this book. Empathy, anger , frustration, and I was completely entertained. I guess it’s my type book. It may not suit everyone, but it hit the mark for me. A bunch of insipid, self centered, shallow characters getting raked over the coals is just what the Dr. ordered.;-)

Colorful Characters
Where does The Darkest Secret rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Hmm...I'd say somewhere in the middle.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I honestly liked the story, but I would have enjoyed it more if the flow from past to present had been more obvious.
What does Beverley A. Crick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Great narration, enjoyed her voice and ability to change characters.
Any additional comments?
I thought the story was good, but in my opinion it does not make for a great "audio" experience. I don't mind a story jumping back and forth in time, but I found on more than one occasion I was wondering whether it was present day or past.

Left Me Wanting More
But not in a good way. There were a lot of unanswered questions, when presented properly, were fine. But, despite understanding what the author was trying to accomplish...I didn't like that many of the characters walked away never knowing the truth. I wouldn't have minded a little more "meat" in this story.

Ripped from the headlines!
What did you love best about The Darkest Secret?
Great ending
Who was your favorite character and why?
Maria. I liked her control
What does Beverley A. Crick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Love those clear Brit accents. She did some emoting but for the most part just read it. Clear and understandable.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When they gave all the children medications to knock them out. I can't imagine what a Mother could be thinking to allow it.
Any additional comments?
Started off like a crime case that everybody knows and then took off. I wondered if the author had just been thinking about that famous case and thought "hmmmm....what if?" Very surprising book.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
