Sleep Tight

De: Rachel Abbott

Narrado por: Melody Grove, Andrew Wincott

How far would you go to hold on to the people you love? When Olivia Brookes calls the police to report that her husband and children are missing, she believes she will never see them again. She has reason to fear the worst; this isn’t the first tragedy that Olivia has experienced. Now, two years later, Detective Chief Inspector Tom Douglas is called in to investigate this family again, but this time it’s Olivia who has disappeared. All the evidence suggests that she was in the family home that morning. But her car is in the garage, and her purse is in her handbag - on the kitchen table. The police want to issue an appeal, but for some reason every single picture of this family has been removed from albums, from phones, from computers. And then they find the blood…. Has the past caught up with Olivia? Sleep tight - if you can. You never know who’s watching.

VERY GOOD BOOK

This audio book turned out to be better than I thought at first. I can definitely recommend it

A Great Listen

The story has enough twists to keep you guessing. Really helped me take my mind off of my long cardio exercise. Highly recommend if you are into the thriller, investigative type.

Performance

Couldn't get over the male voice for this book. He made everyone sound like a slime ball, psychopath. Totally overdone and not fitting with the characters.

I Did Manage to Finish the Book

It took several chapters and some teeth gritting before I adjusted to the annoying switches between first and third person. 1) The premise was very promising, but this book needed a steely editor to cut the padding from this story. There were too many plot point repetitions throughout the book. 2) The author seemed to have a need for the "heroine" to assure that the listener/reader hadn't missed earlier revelations. For example, specific observations about the villain's behaviour. 3) The personal angst stories of the detectives were irrelevant and detracted from the main storyline. Furthermore, one of the detective's side storyline (break in) was not resolved. 4) Both narrators saved the story, hence three stars.

Pleasantly surprised

Zero expectations, ended up being full of twists and turns, surprise ending, loved the British accents!
