the twists and putting your self there wanting to help. Sarah is a top notch writer and I enjoy listening to her books.

Not horrible

I was a little disappointed in this book as I had previously read Silent Child by Sarah A Denzil and thoroughly enjoyed it. This story, for some reason, didn’t grab me as much. It was not horrible...Sarah A. Denzil does well at describing characters and scenes so the reader is able to visualize the story as they read. I feel like this story could have been more interesting, but I don’t regret listening to it.

Fantastic! Well worth the listen.

Sophie McShera does an incredible job and the story pulls you right in. Taut and suspenseful all the way through.

Gripping!!

This is the 2nd audiobook I listen to with a gripping story written by Sarah Denzil. Sophie McShera (known as Daisy from "Downton Abbey") did an excellent job narrating. I spent a good portion trying to figure things out. I don't mean that negatively. It becomes apparent early on that these women have secrets! I found myself feeling compassion for certain characters and then anger towards other characters. And then, what I love about any good book, just when I thought I had everyone and everything figured out......I discover that I was wrong! Who doesn't love a good book with an unexpected twist?!

Not a Great Story

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

After listening to The Silent Child I was looking forward to Saving April. What a disappointment. It wasn't as exciting, or even as interesting. It was pretty easy to figure out the plot and to guess what the ending was going to be.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I'm not the writer. I was going by the other book she had written and expected the same enjoyable suspense and surprises.

Did Saving April inspire you to do anything?

Not to read any more of the author's books

Surprised

This story kept me entertained. I didn't figure it out. I would recommend it.

Saving April

Great story! Just needs to be longer.Ms Sarah is an exceptional writer! I have enjoyed several books written by her.

Page turner!

This book is totally binge worthy! I bought both kindle and audible versions but ended up listening to the whole book in one night. I loved Denzils book The Silent Child and it was so great. JoAnne Frogatt narrated that one so well. If you haven’t read that one and you liked this you would love Child. Denzil has an amazing gift at drawing the reader in from the first words. You get a kind on foreboding even though it starts off rather innocuous. The only drawback was the narrator didn’t differentiate between voices of characters. And if she did it was so minor that I couldn’t tell. It made it difficult to follow the story initially. You are in three women characters head, the main character a near agoraphobic Hannah, new neighbors mom Laura and daughter April. I was really confused at first because she would just go straight into the other characters without any change. I had to go back a few times and relisten. But other than that it was great 👍🏻

Yes!!!

ANOTHER GREAT ONE FROM SARAH! Yesss!!! I get sooo excited reading this woman's books!.... Love them....

3.75 stars

After having worked with people who have emotional issues and/or dysfunctional families, this story did not seem extreme to me. It was well presented from 3 different viewpoints, all of which seemed plausible. This was a short listen and kept me interested. This might not be the best of Ms Denzil's work, but it kept my interest.
