"Kept in suspense until the last minutes!!"
I enjoyed this book because I simply could NOT guess the outcome of the story and just had to keep listening to get to the mystery solution!! A great escape read.
I have nearly 400K miles on my van and I listen to a LOT of audiobook! I'm a musician and I listen as I travel from concert to concert.
"Really Good Story; Bad Reader"
No I would not. The reader was terrible. She mispronounced words and sometimes even mixed up the voices of the characters, which made an already somewhat complicated plot even harder to understand. I would tell my friend to get the book instead.
Can't really think of one off the top of my head. Perhaps the novels of Jeffrey Deaver...
She mispronounced words, her male voices were awful, and she sometimes mixed up the voices of her characters...saying something in the voice of another character, which was quite confusing but if you listened well you could figure out what was going on. Bad, bad, bad.
I liked the denouement very much. The true story of what actually happened that day was very moving.
It's really too bad this reader was chosen for this book. It's exactly the kind of book I like to listen to, but her performance was so bad that I would not even want to listen to it again, although I may purchase the actual book for my daughter.
"Excellent story!"
I am usually pretty great about guess the ending of murder or "mystery" novels, but I have to hand it to the author, Laura Lippman, I was totally surprised by this book. I enjoyed it very much and was happy it wasn't predictable. The characters were believable and the story was too. I will recommend this one to all my friends.
"Loved It!"
Well written, twisted story, great narration. Need I say more? I'm listening to it again to see why I didnt figure it out from the start.
Happiness is a good book!
"very good"
Kept me guessing till the end and still I was surprised at the ending. It was very good. Its hard to like the main charachter but in the end it all comes together, very good listen.
"Even my Husband liked it"
This was my first read by this author. Her writing was not only engaging, it was a well-written novel on par with most high-brow literature. Her characters are memorable and the plot lines are truly unique. I had no problem following the jumps through time. If anything it added more depth to the story.
"One of the best!!"
This is a very entertaining book. It is exciting, suspensful, and has well-developed characters that I really cared about. The ending of this mystery of what really happened to two girls who "go missing" from a mall years earlier will be a surprise, I promise you!
"poor choice"
I found this book to be slow and uninteresting. The story would jump around to different characters and time periods which made it difficult to follow.
"Good enough"
I enjoyed listening to it. It took some effort to keep track of all the characters, but the narrator did a good job. I had been predicting the ending since the first disk, but it was still pretty satisfying.
