One Chance

An Audible Original

De: Caroline Overington

Narrado por: Luke Arnold

Paul manages an old-school plastics factory that has pivoted during the pandemic to making face masks and is now booming. Along comes Emily, the wayward daughter of an old friend, whom Paul hires to be his assistant, and she’s a sparkling force determined to prove her worth with the one chance she’s been given.

Imogen, a beautiful former acquaintance of Paul’s, also coincidently appears outside the factory, down on her luck and clearly full of ulterior motive. The masked truths of the women around him soon threaten to turn Paul’s quiet family life upside down.

It was ok until...

This is a short novella and it had a good plot. What I didn't like was the reference to Covid-19. It was strange to hear it in a fiction story. I think if another disease or a made up illness would've made this story more interesting. Also, the credit card scam felt confusing. There wasn't clarity on if she was guilty or not. Cody, the son, pops in and out of the book and I didn't know if he liked school.

One chance

Wow! When you think you can predict what is going to happen, it changes! You really need to get this one!

Basically written

Interesting premise. The author made an attempt at intrigue but failed. Kept looking like the story was building up to a decent enough mystery but then the last two or three chapters were just an explanation of what the mystery was about. Looked like either the authors first attempt at a book or she ran out of steam and needed to get it published. Reader was solid.

Great Short Read

This was a good book with some mystery, interesting story line, history and life experiences.

Weird — and not in a good way

The characters are very odd, and the main character is not especially engaging. Even for a freebie, this one was rough. Narrator was great, though — even when his Aussie showed in his pronunciation.
