"Predictable but an enjoyable listen"
I enjoyed this book, the first half giving you little tid bits of what had happened and what maybe coming further into the story.
The second half of the book moved along at a fast pace, and the tension mounted. It was a bit predictable but nevertheless still enjoyable.
The narrator Karen Cass was great to listen too and did the voices very well. I was never confused as to who was who.
Good book for a beach listen.
"Excellent, never boring."
The writer did an excellent job of weaving the material from the FBI into a great story. Never boring.
Excellent insight into the whole Jim Jones Temple of the People and Jonestown mass suicide. Worth going onto Youtube to hear what some of the survivors have to say and also actually hear the "Death Tape" which after reading the book really hits home.
"Romance at its best, amusing & moving moments."
This was a wonderful book filled with amusing moments along with moving moments. The main characters both have things from their pasts they need to overcome and the writer does a great job of slowly healing them both. I love stories set in small country towns and this once certainly didn’t disappoint.
Anthea is different than most heroines simply because she’s a little difficult to empathise with at the start. She’s a bit of a spoiled brat, but once she starts her research on Cole’s farm, she changes into a really great person who I could get behind and barrack for.
Cole is one of the best hero’s I’ve ever encountered in a romance. He’s flawed in more way than one, but he doesn’t let his physical disability stop him from doing what he needs to do to earn a living. I thought a blind hero might make me want to feel sorry for him, but that never happened. He’s strong and independent and the writer has done a great job of making me want him for myself!
I would love to see this adapted for the cinema, it would make an excellent movie.
Overall, I highly recommend this book and am looking forward to the next one by Darcy Daniel.
"Well written"
Written from the viewpoint of each character I enjoyed this book as it weaved a story and viewpoint from one character to another in both childhood and as adults.
This is the first Laura Lippman book I have read/listened too and I really enjoyed and I intend to purchase more from this author.
The narrator did a good job as well.
"A plane crash, murderer on the loose & romance"
I enjoyed this book, loved all the characters who grew with the story and you felt you really got to know them.
The descriptions of the environment certainly transported you to the coldness and isolation of the situation.
A romance thrown in and a murderer on the loose made for an interesting listen, the writing flowed easily and moved along at a good pace.
The narrator did a good job with the various characters.
I would recommend this book.
"Enjoyable listen"
I enjoyed this book and the development of characters throughout the book. Its was fast paced all the way through and kept me listening into the wee small hours.
The narrator Amy Rubinate did a great job with the voices and the actual narration of the book.
The book reminded me a bit of Sandra Brown's style of writing.
"Thouroughly enjoyable, compassionate & funny"
I loved the way Dawn wrote letters to her loved ones and friends to give an insight into her life, love, friendships and fellow comedians.
Dawn certainly has a way of making you laugh out loud at her "experiences" throughout her life and feel her sadness in parts.
The narrator did a wonderful job, sounded very similar to Dawn herself, well done.
I would recommend to anyone who has enjoyed watching Dawn's career unfold.
"Great round up of characters by the authors."
This was a great listen, coming across characters from books long listened too. Well integrated into each story.
Well done, enjoyed all the stories, which really need to be listened to in order as they appear.
"Fast paced."
This book moves along at a cracking pace. Never a dull moment, grips you every chapter.
Phil Gigante has done an excellent narration combined with sounds and voices.
If you loved the Jack Daniel's book as I did you will really enjoy this.
"Enjoyed except for wretched music all the time"
I enjoyed this story, loved the voices of the narrator she did a fine job.
However there should be a warning before buying that there is music stuffed into the story in many places and over the narrators voice making it difficult to hear what was being read. This really spoilt it for me, particularly as I listen to the books as I am going to sleep. At one stage (I live on a road that has a few truck travelling past at speed) there was a screeching sound in the music just like a big rig breaking as I thought the truck was coming off the road and was waiting for the crash.
I am looking forward to listening to my next Joshilyn Jackson book.
"Carr yet again writes another enjoyable novel"
I really enjoyed this book, having listened to many of the Virgin River series, I was not disappointed with Summer In Sonoma. I would recommend to anyone who has listened to other Carr novels.
If Kate could infuse various voices it would have been even better.
