all I can say is wow!

Definitely a sick sick story how 1person needs too have fame in movies. She finds someone to help in her sick need. It's a serial killer on the lose from prison. How many people will she kill before she is stopped!?

Great ending!

The story took some twists that were unexpected and I found the reader engrossing. He just kept pulling me into the story. Great book and great performance.

Greg Olsen is a fabulous author.

Once again, Greg Olsen outdo himself in writing this book. He holds your attention from beginning to end. The story is so unimaginable, exciting and terrifying. If you like true crime stories be sure and try this one. JS.

Interesting

The story was interesting. The only downfall is that the narrator sounded robotic most times.

The storyline

I liked the way the author delivered his main idea. The story captured me from beginning to end.

That ending sucked

You grow to love characters and that 1 minute summary is how it all ends. What a waste of my 20+ hours listening to the entire series

Disappointed

I really like Gregg Olsen, and I enjoyed the first 3 books in this series. But, it seems he didn’t have much material to work with on this one, and most of it was filler to make a decent length read. The story was monotonous and repetitive. The characters supporting characters were forgettable. The end of the story was painful to get through, and very predictable. I’m glad this was the final book in this series because I would not have read the next one.

My rating was as high as it was because I have really enjoyed his other books. If this was any other writer, I would have stopped listening and sent the book back.

Wrong Narrator for Story

This novel is about a female serial killer and mainly women heroines. Why a male narrator was chosen for this novel is beyond me

Male's are not good at all at women's voices. They are weird & monotone and in this case made it difficult to follow who was who.

I stopped listening after chapter 30 and started playing games on my tablet until it ended. I then started the book back up at chapter 72 so I could at least hear the ending and even the end was TERRIBLE!!!

Seriously Horrible

I think this should have been called the "Brenda Nevin" series. It was awful - the book spent more time describing her and her horrible deeds then Stark and Waterman searching for Nevin, I just got so tired of the descriptions of what was going on and the amount people killed was over the top. Sorry but hope there is no more of this ugh. While I think the narrator was ok, why does a book with many more female characters than male have a man reading, I think the author just hates women!

Repetitive with an overly dramatic, campy "baddie"

The Waterman and Stark series was great until this ludicrous chapter. With each appearance of the Nevins character, I was thinking "OK, OK...she's sexy, screws everyone and has nice boobs." ENOUGH ALREADY. There was zero mystery, it dragged on for20 chapters longer than necessary. I fast forwarded every segment with Brenda as she was that annoying. The ending was stupid beyond measure. A complete betrayal of a character's entire life and career. To say nothing of heritage and accomplishments. Olsen you lost me forever. Won't read anymore of these goofy "thrillers".
