This Book 1 of the series is the best of the group. It opens a door into what happens next in the lives of the Wakefield family. It leads to a logical conclusion as to what happened to the last child.

I appreciate the narrator's unique voice, even though sometimes it climbs into a high and whiny register. However, I am appalled at how the narrator portrays an African American male voice! That type of accent has not been heard in America since the days of the very ill-advised and hurtful minstrel shows!! No one in America has that accent. If the narrator is attempting an American southern accent...please please study this voice and get it corrected. The current choice is an insult. I fast forwarded through the passages where this character is speaking.

I am taking this series in reverse. This is a new author for me. I did discover that each book can stand alone. Like any detective story, there are references to past cases.

The narrator is unusual. I like her voice for the most part...but...please please do not ever attempt what she calls an " American " accent again!!!! There are many American accents, but her rendition of a southern accent is awful!! She continually blends Australian into the mix...and no one in America sounds like that. It ruined part of the story for me.

I will move on to book 2 now...and I hope no Americans show up so the narrator can mangle their voices...

I don't know what it is with author! ? He is obsessed with bugs!! There were so many bugs in The Troop and now...again....more bugs!!! Also, after a while, the convoluted monsters in this story cease to be scary...and sometimes they were unintentionally funny.

The story would have been much more interesting if he had developed Little Heaven itself. I would have liked an indepth look into why it existed and what was it's purpose.

This is a convoluted, mixed-up story. The very best part came at the beginning when the little boy was eaten by the rogue anaconda...that passage has stayed with me.

Bugs. Worms. Tortured animals. A budding serial killer. Decimated boys. Unrelenting grossness.
Someone may appreciate this genre... but not me.

Lord of the Flies has elegant prose and Dreamcatcher has Stephen King as an author. No one should try to imitate either.

The best part of the story is the last 10 minutes...and then it ends.

This book takes a long, meandering path to get to the last 20 minutes...which is the best part of the book.

Even though the mystery of the air force base is finally explained...the mystery it contains is not.

The narration is fine except when voicing the children.

More attention should have been given to the actual demon that is driving this story. Instead, there is an endless parade of people with issues that come from being human.
And the disgusting gore at the end of the story was ridiculous...
Boring...

This is the best Lisa Jewell book I have listened to...very very different from her usual murder mystery genre.
The story of this family, who were radically changed by their mother's hoarding habit and a brother's suicide...and all the guilt those things created...is devastating.
Out of this devastation finally comes some redemption...I couldn't stop listening!

Not sure what the purpose of this mess was? I only kept listening because it was a well done radio play.
Puleeze...

This is one of the best books I have listened to! It is of the genre of Burial Rites...

Brutal and beautiful story of how women have been forced to deal with consequences not of their making...and a retelling of an actual event.

The narration was perfect. This one will stay with you.

This is the best Richard Chizmar story so far. It is told realistically with no over the top narration. It would make a great movie!
