Loved it

Not everyone will appreciate the ending but I loved it. As an avid psychological thriller reader I’m used to a typical story arc. This book threw me

Loved it all

Revisado: 03-09-23

I will preface this review by saying I will listen to almost any thriller Imogen Church narrates. There have been some books with meh plot lines that she has carried just in her reading of it, that being said- my only regret is not having listened to this book sooner! I absolutely loved it. It’s like she wrote the book she always wanted to narrate and then narrated the almighty hell out of it. Not usually a fan of period thrillers but this one is an exception. Contemporary issues set in the past with lots of smut humor in the mix. Love a book that doesn’t take itself too seriously and LOVE the names of the characters. Already added it to my favorites. Would whole heartedly recommend and listen again.

Twisty end

Revisado: 02-13-23

Good writing, with an end I didn’t expect. The narrator leaves something to be desired though. May be better in print, worth a gander for the story though

The narrator…

Revisado: 12-03-21

I actually tried to return this book after enduring a few chapters with this narrator but couldn’t so had to stick it out. The pace, plot and arch of the story were all pretty good but the narrator nearly tanks all of that. She sounds so overwrought through the ENTIRE book. Regardless of the scene action, the character sounds utterly distressed which is exhausting. If this was a tactic to force the listener to either fully attend or completely disregard the content of the story then it worked. Because the tone is so monotonous and unvaried you have to really focus on what’s happening and being said because there’s no contextual inklings like changes in pace, feeling or emphasis. If you can get past that, then I think you’ll find the plot has some interesting and unexpected twists, especially considering the beginning of the book is a peak at the event around which the whole book is focused.

The ending! (No spoilers)

Revisado: 08-22-20

Great story. Did not see the ending coming and being well versed in psychological thrillers/mysteries/ suspense I can usually call an ending in the first 1-3 chapters. This one had me right up till the big reveal.

Not a mystery or thriller. No spoilers but a warning.

Revisado: 05-18-20

And least of a psychological one at that. Read more as a long winded fictional drama which is lovely for fans of that type of book but I am not one of them and this book certainly didn’t make me a convert. I have never wailed in my kife which could certainly be an indicator of good life fortune or happenstance— regardless the main character spends a lot of time wailing. I think more than the average -- wail moderate woman. 9 hours until she developed a backbone and then another 3 to confirm the creeping suspicion she that this is not a thriller but a mystery with legitimately— 1 odd occurrence— that for the briefest of gasps has the listener/ reader thinking— gaslighting? Did the hubby do it? Or maybe the chipper AF neighbor?? Reader. Do not be fooled. Do not be hoodwinked by this sculduggery and tom-foolery. it is the most meager of traps to keep the psychological thriller crowd hopeful- until the books last gasp— only for u to find out it was almost an irrelevant after thought in its relation to the overall plot. The narrator did a fine job though reading this nonsense however so good on her. Instant. Return.

(And so annoyed about it I wrote a review— which speaks volumes to the not insubstantial degree of annoyance)

Is it the end yet?

Revisado: 09-17-19

A bit long winded at times. There were several points at which I thought the wrap up of the plot could’ve begun but frustratingly didn’t. With that said I didn’t predict all the twists in the end

An ending...to forget

Revisado: 09-11-18

This book is in desperate need of another chapter or epilogue. Hated the ending it felt like the author ran out of time or ideas and just wanted to wrap it up. I enjoyed the story overall but there's no wrap up of the sisters relationship or issues. And more importantly--how the sisters manage to pull off the eluded to ending. I understand and appreciate the fun of a little mystery or cliff hanger but to me this just felt unfinished.
