loved it

loved this book! I grabbed a paperback of the drowned girls not even paying attention it was part of a series, read it and just loved it. so now I'm starting at the beginning and loved this one just as much. on to the next book now.

Well thought-out mystery.

Christine Lakin as a narrator is quite simply the best. And Sara Blaedel’s writing is so good. She takes her time, but the plot twist is well worth it. Love the characters.

Very slow going

Predictable and very slow going, didn’t like one of the main characters so not sure if i will continue on in the series

Not as exciting as I hoped.

The story is okay. A good listen. But as I was listening, I was waiting for more excitement or thrill but that didnt come. I will try the next story and hope it is a bit better.

Superfluous Verbose

Nine chapters in, and this story is going nowhere. Book is in need of some serious editing, or at least some editing. Can't believe I stuck in tthere this long. I guess I was hoping/waiting for ot to start moving along, but my patience with this story is at it's end.

Not Up to Par

Disappointing and very predictable. Narration is fine but the story needs a lot be desired. Interesting setting and there a couple of good twists and turns. Was hoping to find a new series but will look elsewhere.
