Loved the twists right to the very end!

I know I've read a lot of reviews of Daniel Hurst's books, saying that they are predictable and unrealistic. I was shocked a few times. I love his books. The narration was good to!

Wow

I really enjoyed this read-I listened to it in a day bc I couldn’t put it down!

An Enjoyable Short-ish, Satisfying Story

What can I say about this story? Obviously, it's not believable. Of course, it's not. But, it's a fun, easy way to spend a 5-plus hour listen. I didn't see the "twist" coming. But, then again I am not very good at forecasting twists in these stories.

I will listen to more Daniel Hurst stories. It's a good, easy vibe.

Francesca Waite isn't my favorite British narrator as there is some blending in a couple of the female voices making it hard to differentiate them. But, she is good. Nothing objectionable.

I got this on sale which makes it even better!

Great

I was surprised at the end —didn’t see that coming! Great book thanks for writing it.

Loved the narrators narration.

repetitive but still entertaining

The story was decent, but the two main characters kept repeating the same things over and over. if you can get through that, it is a good listen.

Surprise!

I will just simply say I loved this! It wasn't hugely long, but there was plenty of time to get the story set up... and the end twists, which I didn't truly expect, were great.

Good enough

Entertaining little thriller.
Worth the sale price!
You may enjoy it, give it a try

First half good, but then disappointing

This was my first listen for this author. During the first half of the listen, it was very engaging. Then the pace slowed down too much, but the big disappointment was the very ending. It seems to be a popular device in contemporary thillers used by a number of authors, where at the very ending, it is suddenly revealed that the investment in the characters as clearly presented and created by the author, was the opposite of what it turns out to be. Maybe that is considered to be a "twist." To me, it's not a twist. It's telling you a story only to tell you at the end that he didn't really tell you the story and in a few sentences he undoes it all, and undoes how he has presented the characters. Personally, that's not for me, although from reviews it seems many listeners and readers enjoy it as a twist. When I find that an author tends to use this device, I look for other authors.

The narration was very well done. Both narrators were good. As for the story itself, it wasn't really the writing itself. It was the fact that the story was told one way, and then it turned out it was misrepresented. In order to avoid spoilers, I won't be any more specific. Luckily, it was one of the shorter titles in this genre, and also I got it in a 2 titles for 1 credit sale.

Wow

Didn’t see that ending. This was a great book. I really enjoyed all the mind twists.

Good Book

My first book by Daniel Hurst. I enjoyed listening to this tale of deception. The story was not exactly believable in any way and (no spoilers) but, in the end, the reason for everything was just too dumb.
