Wonderful to have the unabridged version

I must have listened to the abridged version in the past, but I had only the barest memory of the plot. I prefer this unabridged version - couldn't stop listening.

Dialog from the teacher

Ridiculous storyline with implausible characters. Inconsistencies drove me crazy. One woman dies because she sleeps with a man she just met, yet her twin is a worthy substitute although she is obviously more promiscuous. One minute, the main character will stop at nothing to get answers, the next she is glad her sister's body was cremated so the police can't investigate further. But what made me cringe was when the characters spoke like teachers in case the reader wasn't following along. How often do you hear someone say "In summary..." in a normal conversation?

Really enjoyed this Sandra Brown novel

I can never turn down a chance to read a new Sandra Brown novel. I especially liked the male lead in this one. He wasn’t a jacked up former seal team six type-no offense- I like them, too, but more of a regular guy who actually thought like a real person, who needed to look out for himself a bit. It was a great story all around, hard to put down.

Unbelievably superior listen and read.

Sandra Brown at her most best. Narrator Jan Maxwell receives a rating of 5 as well.
The twists and turns are great. The collection of Sandra Brown novels while mounting makes my decision of Audible Books supreme.

Amazing!

This book was amazing! There are so many twist and turns that you almost have to go back and listen again just to catch them all! I would highly recommend this book to anyone. It's perfect for a road trip!

Don’t waste your time

An interesting but implausible plot line. The profanity and gratuitous nature of the book reminded me of why I don’t read Sandra Brown.

Confusing

It's hard to relate to the twins. Without giving away the ending, it's difficult to relate to them when they aren't who they are----well, you'll see what I mean when you get to the end.

Twins, whew

If you could sum up The Switch in three words, what would they be?
good old fashion SB work. Will not disappoint

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
yup, one of SB better stories

How could the performance have been better?
just ok male voice. Victor Selzack is still worth the $$$ for reading the phone book

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
yes

Any additional comments?
enjoy
