Great Story!

Patricia MacDonald’s characters are well developed and the plot is well written. The story moves at a good pace and it was hard to stop listening. MacDonald is a master story teller. I have read a few of her other books.

Entertaining Listen

I haven't read anything by this author before, but I was looking for something entertaining while taking a fast from television, and this didn't disappoint. It was a little slow at first, but quickly sped up and was easy to follow. The story is really good, not sure if it's really a "Psychological" Thriller, but it's definitely got a character or two that aren't all there. Not a lot of gratuitous violence, though there is some, but a lot of blaspheming, which I don't think added much to the plot, but again a thrilling story about lies, deceit and complex relationships. I quite liked the dialogue, the narrator was very adept at this, making each character sound different and have their own personality, so convo sounded really authentic between two separate people; also it didn't sound dry and "clinically" narrated, (which I don't care for and is the main reason I don't really listen to audiobooks much), she read the story dramatically like a play, I really enjoyed that and will seek her out again for more audiobooks in the future; again, I don't listen often, but this was an enjoyable respite from nightly television watching. All-in-all, wonderful, dramatic narration with a soothing voice, good overall storyline and plot, would recommend.

Excellent

I have read all of MacDonald’s books, and this story is just as good as the rest of her work. The narration was just okay for me; the Bostonian accents were harsh to my ears!
