Maybe I like the story?

Revisado: 04-27-25

I don’t know if I can keep listening to this. I think the story may be alright, but the narrators are terrible. The woman sounds like a teenager, not a middle aged adult, and the guy sounds like he’s reading song details off the top 20 countdown. The voices are all wrong and it’s making it hard to focus on the story.

Skipped forward. Hated the end

Revisado: 04-12-25

Story is a good idea in some ways but it didn’t hold my attention and I finally just skipped ahead to the end, which I was not a fan of at all.

Great story… needs a new narrator

Revisado: 03-12-25

Obviously these books are massively popular — they are great stories. I downloaded the audio to listen with my daughter on a road trip, and if this was just a book review it would be 5 stars, but since Audible is also about narration, I can’t give it a 5. The narrator got worse and worse as it went along. His accents are not good, and while many of the characters weren’t represented well, the dumb surfer dude voice for Luke was absolutely horrible and almost made it unlistenable when he was reading those parts. Will not be listening to any others in the series.

Not a bad story.

Revisado: 02-26-25

It had some predictable story points, but was a good enough story. Narrator was ok. I don’t love when they read with anxious, shaky voices the whole book just because it’s a murder mystery/thriller, so that got a bit old.

Still trying.

I have always enjoyed this series, but I’ve only made it to chapter 10 and feel like I’m just listening to someone read the specifics of a climbing manual, which is not interesting. So many minutes spent talking about carabiners and harnesses and footholds and etc. — let’s get to the story. Stopping for a bit and maybe will come back to it. Or skip to the end.

Meh.. it's ok

Revisado: 12-03-24

I echo the others who don't understand how this narrator made it though a whole book pronouncing Chi as "chai," (and also had a horrible English accent), but aside from the narrator, the story meanders. The section set in London at the beginning of the novel is too drawn out and not at all necessary, really, and then there's the story climax, where one character who is supposedly a careful and experienced investigator, walks away from a room and a suspicious person and leaves information pulled up on a computer for anyone to find. This is my second novel from this author, and it seems she's a fan of a last minute twist. Those are great sometimes, but not every time. I'm interested in some of her other stories, but hope it's not the same with each one.

Switching to reading

Revisado: 10-20-24

I like the story enough so far, but I'm on chapter 23 and there are still 7 hours left -- I can't listen to this narrator for 7 more hours. I can't explain it, but the delivery is too practiced and unnatural. She sounds like a 1950s sitcom mom or something with the tone she uses. Just not for me.

Liked it until I didn't.

Revisado: 10-04-24

First off, Julia Whelan and the other narrators were great (other than the vapid podcast voices, which I'm thankful only existed for a chapter). But the story... I wouldn't categorize this as suspense or horror, but more than that, every relationship was toxic, especially the female friendship/sisters relationships in each timeline. Awful. And after all that, the twist at the end just made me mad.

Not suspense.

Revisado: 09-25-24

I might have liked this better if it hadn’t been categorized as suspense — it’s not, and so I kept waiting for something to happen until I got to about 3 hours left and just skipped to the last few chapters.

It’s a no from me.

Revisado: 09-17-24

By chapter 3 I was over the narrator. Did a little digging on the direction this was going to go, and just no. Will return. The main character is unlikable, and I’m not interested in affairs and justifications and the need to talk about sex constantly.
