Cast was a big let down

Not sure the casting was great. I found it confusing having such old voices for characters that are supposed to be much younger. And the older voices doing the text speech was also, just, off, and ruined the flow. The story was OK but also quite predictable.

Wow what a read!!!!

ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!! I read and listened to the audio version at the same time and I felt I was ACTUALLY THERE!! being a detective along side Bill serafini, Laila Furness, JJ Norton the lot. I ’ve recommended the book to all my friends, family, and coworkers for them to read and enjoy as much as I’ve did. Cara Hunter is an incredible author, this book has to be my top favourite murder mystery books I’ve read so far.

Very captivating!

This story was highly entertaining. The narration was brilliant and were many twists which you should expect from a murder mystery. I am devastated that I didn’t pick the murder but definitely one to revisit!

A great listen!

A clever take on the classic whodunnit!
I actually jokingly guessed the culprit but didn’t think much of it last chapter one. A few jaw dropping moments too! Great narration!

Riveting story!

Loved this listen, all the narrators did a great job. It was fast paced with so many twists! I thought I had it figured out but I was wrong in the end. Very enjoyable.

Binge worthy!!!

So far this is my crime book of 2023! I loved the format and narration of the story and was hooked from the opening chapter. So clever and well plotted, a thoroughly enjoyable story that I didn’t want to end.

WHAT A STORY!!! 😀

This was so well done; the voice actors.were amazing... though the storyline at first was SO confusing that at times I had to go back and check exactly who the characters actually were 😆🤔 the amount of thought that went into it all and how it all tied together was so clever 👏👏👏 BUT I guessed the murderer straight away...of course there were other strong suspects but let's just say it's always the most unlikely one isn't it...😎😇🙃😉
