About this listen

In death, they are purified. Holding his victims under water, he washes away their sins as they struggle for their last breath. Then he stakes their bodies to the ground, exposing them for what they really are: witches, sent to tempt and to corrupt.

No one knows about defence attorney Charlotte Wellington's murdered sister, or about her childhood spent with the carnival that's just arrived in town. For Charlotte, what's past is past. But others don't agree. And as a madman's body count rises, she and Detective Daniel Rokov are drawn into a mission that's become terrifyingly personal.

Very enjoyable

It was a good story. A little obvious but nonetheless enjoyable. Perfect to listen to with a glass of wine.

LOVED IT!

This is an excellent story that keeps you guessing for most of the book. When you find out the whole twisted truth it is quite surprising.

Twists and turns

Before she dies was a good read I enjoyed how Mary Barton had us guessing giving us clues here and there, but you really don’t know until the end. Love Joanna Parker, and highly suggest this Read.

The ending came on really quick and some parts were extremely dark

Overall, I enjoyed the book. I was surprised by how dark sections were, but the characters were interesting and I look forward to reading more of this author’s work.

Entertaining

Would you consider the audio edition of Before She Dies to be better than the print version?

I believe it would be,because of the reader. I liked her rendition very much.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Before She Dies?

I suppose the final scene where Grace and Sooner are held hostage.

Have you listened to any of Johanna Parker’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. I can't remember the title. The book was by the same author. She read that well too.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It was in the beginning when Mariah was murdered. I could hardly listen it was so horrible.

Any additional comments?

If you are wanting a suspenseful listen I can't recommend this author enough. The reader Ms. Parker is also excellent.

You can take the girl out of the carni...

Fast paced thriller that revolves around a serial killer who labels his victims ‘witches’, a defense attorney with a secret past, and the detective who wants more from her. Love the plot twists.
