She's back

I really like this authors work, have read her stuff throughout the years.

Recently felt disappointed... almost like perhaps success was making her lazy. But this book is awesome and lve still a chapter or so to go. It feels like the old stuff (which rightly brought her fame) but its not, its new. So happy that she is back to mixing great story, awesome characters with that touch strange detail inserted in the oddest of areas that binds it all together.

I would have given 5 's across the board but the narrator is just fine 85% of the time its that other 25% - yikes.

Also the word scrunshie? It Is used must be more than 25 times and l dont know what that is. I can guess but l refuse to google.

Anyhow l would not read this one on its own, if you have never read her stuff start at the start because she is worth it.

Way longer than it needed to be.

It wasn't intricate enough to be so long. It got boring. It would have been okay if it was half the length.

Terrible narrator good book

Book is great. Narrator is awful - I was close to not wanting to listen because all the accents were so hideous

The Silent Wife

I enjoyed this story. I love the reader! I got a little confused with the amount of characters and having the story switch back and forth but I worked it out. I look forward to the next story

Not her best

This is a long way from Karen Slaughter’s best. I may feel differently if I had read it but the narration grated. When it was plain narration it was fine, when it was speech, it was poor. When it was male speech it made the character sound uneducated and inarticulate.

Unbearable accents

Whilst I generally love Karin Slaughter’s books I just can’t continue with this audible version. The narrator’s voice was bearable but the characters’ voices are like chalk on a blackboard. I can’t believe it was allowed to be produced like this. Unfortunately I can’t continue and will have to return it.

Grisly but engrossing, interesting listen!

Narrator was really good! I didn’t care for the male character voices that much but her normal narration and female characters were voiced very well!

I never guessed who it was so it was quite interesting! Just once, I had to skip a gory part but overall I would recommend.

You had me at serial killer!

This was creepy and visceral and perfectly paced. Another Slaughter masterpiece! Will and Sarah are my favourite case solving couple ever, oh and Faith, don't forget Faith! - can't wait for their next big case!!

Great story and narration - too graphic though

It's another great story based around Sarah Linton, who is always an inspiring character. The story is gripping and the narration is spot on. Regarding the graphic scenes and discriptions that are known to Karen slaughter fans; this one when a bit too far and was difficult to stomach. And I don't feel they were necessary to the story, but there for shock value. It seems that Karen Slaughter feels she needs to up the ante with each book. But she doesn't. I wish it was toned down a bit as it would make it much easier to focus on the story and characters.

Another fantastic Karin Slaughter novel

Another thrilling read! I enjoyed the time jumps and the continued development of Sara and Will's relationship. I wasn't a huge fan of the narration, mainly due to the accents but she did well changing the voice for each character.
