Interesting ending

Good storyline. Felt like it was dragging at times. I wasn’t a very big fan of the narrator. The accent became irritating after some time.

Not a fulfilling ending

The book hooks you where even when you’re getting mad you can’t put it down you wanna know how it ends but once you get to the end it’s kinda disappointing

Good story. Narration could be improved. 

I like the story. It had some good mystery to it. The two sisters voices were exactly the same so it was hard to tell the difference about who was talking sometimes. Even the male voices were similar. 

Unlikable sisters

I found every character quite unlikable, so I had no investment in any of their outcomes.

I was gripped from the start

I so enjoyed this British listen. Ruth Harrow pens a well-paced suspenseful thriller. I’m adding Deidra Whelan to my favorites as she brings her narrative talents to the forefront. Finding this in Audible Plus catalogue is appreciated. Two sisters are torn apart by their estranged father as he returns years later. Harrow’s captivating subplots make for a tangled web of surprises and intrigue. Never dull or a lull. A shocker of a complexellent ending. Highly recommended and worthy of a cherished credit.

One odd comment: Every time I heard the word “flatly,” I thought of Michael Flatley, “Lord of the Dance.” Not sure why I had to share this. I just did.🥹

Keeps you guessing!!

Thrilling, Captivating, Fast Paced…. Keeps you guessing… I loved the SURPRISE TWISTS.. ! I was at the edge of my seat with anticipation.
I have recommended this book to all of my family members, who enjoy reading, whom I know will LOVE it as well!

Wowza

Wowza, Wowza, Wowza, who would have have thought? This story is unsettling. Very odd dynamic.

Same old predictable story....

Painfully long and no surprises. School drama was way more interesting than main story. Never did understand where the story took place, geographically. Had to believe it was Britain with the readers use of an English accent for the sisters. The characters had unenviable living conditions and one husband was a miserable slouch with no ambition. The whole thing left me depressed.

Cringeworthy behavior.

Wanted to stop listening, because the main character was so “off” with her behaviors, but wanted to find out who was the true psychopath in this story. Found it difficult to follow at times as the narrator used the same voice for all characters.

Just not clever enough

The “twists and turns” were not clever and just didn’t make for a believable story. In the end, I was disappointed.
