Good book.

A bit tough to follow in the beginning but well worth it to keep going.

This is a terrific book. The characters are so full. The author is very detailed ,which really makes for a terrific read. Exciting plot and very good ending!

BUYER BEWARE - ABRIDGED VERSION

I'm pissed. They should really do a better job of showing users that this is the ABDRIGED version. Totally ruined my book club experience as I realized too late that there were only 6 chapters of this version... I chalked that up to being a brand new Audible user and not knowing how it works but I was SORELY mistaken. Now I am accidentally halfway through the book when I only want to be 150 pages in. Thanks a lot, Audible.

Great Story

I'm usually not into the dark mysteries, but this was a great story. I didn't feel like the sexual scenes were overboard, because I thought the story was more focused on the murder mystery. I will say you need to be in the mood for something "darker" to enjoy this book.
