The ending left me ?

This one was fun! quick easy listen. The ending got me…. Moms are funny (and crazy)!

Spectacular

Loved the narrator! This had me on the edge of my seat because you really suspected EVERYONE. So good!

I did not figure it out like I usually do!!!

I liked the short story...left me wanting more of the same. I like to try to figure out who is the culprit!

Great movement

The movement of the story was smooth; taking me on a quick and pounding joyride. The only reason I was upset was because I had to stop the story to make dinner. Every character mentioned had purpose made you want to listen to each of them.

Cute short story

It was a little too short to develop the premise of the story and I could not get a good feel of the character. I should have looked more in to the reviews before buying it for my library

Wow

Definitely did see this one ending the way it did. Very enjoyable and I loved the narrator.

Funny short story!

A really clever and funny little piece. I laughed out loud in a few places. Good narration too.

Didn’t see that coming

I just can’t stop thinking about this story. I’ve listened to it three times and love it more each time.

The ending was a shocker

I'm not usually a mystery reader as I hate waiting to the last minute to find out 'who did it'. However, I had read he author's Vera Wong novel and loved it, so when I saw this short listen, I snatched dit.

What a quick ;listen. I never would have imagined who the killer was. I'm still reeling. LOL

I enjoy the characters Sutanto writes and Eunice Wong is the perfect narrator for those nosy, quirky protagonists. Wong has a good range of voices, both male and female so it is easy to know who is speaking whether or not they have the name attached or not.

I highly suggest. Just be prepare for the surprise ending...

Twisted

Wow, this was a twisted story 😂 I wasn’t expecting that ending!
