I kept waiting for the misdirect, but the ending was perfect. Great narration too.

SPOILERS


I thought midway through the book that when two of the characters figured out what was happening and then worked together to get the little boy back that this was a mis-direction and there would be an "ah hah" moment right at the end so I kept waiting for that. It never happened, But then the ending was perfect, right at the last few sentences. Excellent book.

Will The Rip be a worthy force?

The story seemed like it might have the power to intrigue me...
However, the main characters lacked redeeming qualities. Performed well, it was worth a listen, but I was left unsatisfied, seemed to me the further into the plot we ventured, the less I liked the main characters. I get the need to write 'flawed' protagonists, but flaws should be qualities that the reader may empathise with. Maybe the author was going for 'edgy', I don't know, but I would not want to be friends with either of the leading ladies... Just as I felt I could get on board with some of their behaviours, forgive some misgivings, something else would occur or come to light, and I was ... No, just no - that's not excusable or acceptable.

I'll make sure to read reviews before I purchase another by this author.

Finished it in record time - very engaging

A captivating audiobook that about the complexities of relationships and the weight of hidden secrets.
The story is both engaging and has elements of suspense.
The narrator's voice is, clear, and easy to follow, enhancing the overall listening experience.

Great story a highly recommended listen.

This was a good read

It’s a shame the author felt that I needed a welcome to my own country. If it had of been at the beginning of the book I wouldn’t have bothered reading it.

An intriguing story

I loved the plot and characters but I struggled to like the two main characters. They both sounded rich and living in a bubble. Aside from that it's a good story about people wanting and needing love and validation, wanting to hide and forget poor choices of the past and doing anything to protect the good in their lives.

I liked hearing about holiday life on Rottnest Island and it's beautiful landscape and it made me want to visit but I recently watched a documentary which told the story of one side of the island being a prison for hundreds of First Nation people, for petty crimes, while the other side of the island was for holidaying. Hundreds of prisoners never left and died there. It's another awful story of Australia's history. It would have been good to hear a reference about this in the book as I thought it was just a regular gorgeous island.

Addictive

This was one of those stories you just had to listen until the end - Penny’s character became very wearing at times and l found it very repetitive, the narration of this character was quite annoying at times. Other than that the story line was gripping. An enjoyable listen with a very flawed female main cast - would definitely listen or read more from Holly Craig
