Great storyline, keeps you guessing

I really enjoyed this book. Lots of moments that will have you scratching your head. The narrator does an excellent job, and is very easy to listen to.

Not sure about this one

Very strange and long winded
At times repetitive
Narrator was good though
Just all a bit drawn out

Disappointing- ridiculous ending

Story begins well then as it progresses becomes repetitive &drawn out. While reader is asked to suspend belief, the ending is ridiculous and lazy . She has written better books so I expected more.

left me disappointed

disappointing read compared to her other novels where the characters are so well developed and so many twists. This was drawn out and predictable.
