Enthralling

What a magnificent book. Could not get enough of it. Was tuning in as much as I could, did not want it to end. Loved the characters and the readers performances were excellent. Made it very believable. As someone else mentioned, would of loved to hear a couple of those songs actually sung. Thankyou Penguin and Audible for an enjoyable couple if days !

loved the way the stories wove together

I didn't expect to like this but it had the usual pace I would expect, clever story writing. There was a point when I was incredulous and about to put the audio book aside but it saved itself within 5 mins - won't share as I don't want to ruin it. Would love to hear more books by the same authorship team

A great read till the very end

I loved it . I listened to the whole book during a road trip. When I got to my destination I had to stay in the car until it finished. I had to know the ending. Easy to visualise the characters with great voice-overs.

Mystery Meets Country

This story had all the mystery that only James Patterson can unfold, and is covered by country music knowledge that only Dolly Parton could add! A very enjoyable performance with a great story.

Compelling story

I listened to this twice in a row, just in case I missed a word. A memorable story, delivered by fabulous voice actors. I agree that I would have loved to hear some of the songs actually performed. That would have been epic.
