Great book

You know a book is good when you stay up at night way beyond when you should fall asleep and keep reading. This book was very well written and narration was excellent. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Great story, bad narration!

This is great storytelling!
A gripping story that had me on the edge all the time, and I didn't want to put it down.
Unexpected twist at the end.
Great characters.
BUT
The narration is bad. Sounds like an overdramatic teenager reading the story.
I would love to listen to the rest of the series but won't if it is the same narrator.

DNF

Terrible narration. I believe I would have enjoyed the story but the narration was so overly dramatic I could not finish.

Great read

Grabs your interest right from the beginning and keeps your interest until the last sentence. Read this book you won't be sorry.

WOAHHHHHHH, I didn't see that coming

Talk about a plot twist, holy moly!!! Absolutely captivating story and also treacherous. Makes you wanna go in and shoot the bad guys and then give high 5's to the one(s) who took care of buisness! tragic that there are creeps and perverts out there, but wow, can Ms Rebecca and Ann Marie capture the dialogue, it's like the narrator read it first and done her homework and absolutely captured Ms Rebecca's intentions! Absolutely stunning!

Bad narration

The story seemed to be going along pretty well but I really couldn’t put up with the narration. She was hard to listen to, maybe I’ll download the book and read it myself.

Narrated for second graders...

The story was good but I had to increase the speed to get through the overly dramatic, almost whining narration...😳

Legal and psychological thriller

I loved this book with its twists and turns. The narrator was exceptional in her deliverance of the story. I would recommend this book for mystery enthusiasts. The hostile witness was a surprise .

Narrator too much

Good story could barely listen. Not everything has to be soooo dramatic and the raise in her inflections were just too much.

Great story but…

Loved the story. Great characters. The narration was way way too dramatic. The narrator got too excited and loud more than necessary. It became overwhelming at times. She does this with most of her books.
