Not my cuppa

I don't think the book is terrible. I just don't think it is terrific, either. I didn't find the characters particularly well drawn and the mystery not so mysterious. I won't be buying anything more from the author.

That said, it wasn't horrible and I did finish it.

The narration was also just okay for me.

Where do the lies and cover-ups lead?

I enjoyed the narration and the story.
An overheard phone conversation leads to murder. That was over 20 years ago. Ten years later, the cover up continues and separates two young people in love. Now another tragedy brings them back to the same town, but will they be able to forgive and move forward or will the lies of the past end their relationship forever?

Another suspense filled mystery

A great read. Rita Herron continues to amaze with her books. Great tense romance too.

Mystery with a touch of romance

If you're expecting a romance book, this isn't it. There is some romance but more toward the end. Jake and Sadie had had a close relationship in the past, but circumstances separated them. They fight their feelings through the majority of the book. There was one sex scene but it was pretty low key.

This was more about the mystery of who's going around killing people and what's being covered up. There were some flaws in the story, but this is fiction after all and not real life. The characters were well developed, including Amelia's multiple personality alternates.

There was also some violence but nothing too major.

The narrator did a terrific job.

Exciting book

This was a really interesting and informative book to read.The story line was on edge and kept you wanting to go on without stoppir.Great narrator.A must read.

nice read

Book started out a little slow and confusing but picked up about halfway. Interesting storyline with suprise ending

Good Psychological Mystery! Great Narration.

This was a great mystery. A bit of a psychological thriller going on. I didn't figure it out until close to the end, so in my book that makes for a good mystery. I usually figure them out pretty quick. This was an interesting story from beginning to the end.

I liked the hero and heroine of the story. I also like the sister Amelia including her extra personalities. LOL

The story line and plot were good. Kept me guessing. There was lots of dialogue throughout the book, I love lots of dialogue.

The romance is not the main focus of this story but it was a good underlying story. As for the romance portion Jake and Sadie did have good chemistry, there was sexual tension and one nicely written sex scene. Not erotica.

As for the narration it was great. Tanya Eby does a great job with all the voices, the men sound like men and everyone has their own distinct voice. She reads with emotion including whispers, yelling, etc.. I really enjoy her narrations.

This was a free read free listen with my Kindle Unlimited so it was a great deal for sure!

great narration, decent storyline

Good story overall, the narration was flawless and on point. it was a little predictable, but not so much that I wanted to stop reading. I recommend this book and plan to listen/read the next one in the series.
