Reseñas de la Crítica

"As good as it gets." (Lee Child)

"A truly original voice." (Peter James)

Awful Narrator

The narrator is so Awful she ruins the book. The Story is really good but the Narrator's Whiney voice ruins it. The authour Describes things way too much this kind of writing is not for me

Very Good Reader but Annoying Main Character

Very well read but the main character was very annoying.

It made it hard to enjoy the thrill of the book.

Excellent narration

It's really sad that people have to be mean, even cruel towards authors and narrators. The narration by the way , is excellent. I heard no "whining " and I'm a pretty good judge of narration as I've been an audible customer for over 10 years.
As for the writing, the premise is fresh, writing is very good, lots of twists and creepiness that you would expect in a book like this. It's s good book and I see nothing wrong. Highly recommended.

Intriguing!!

Keeps interest from beginning to end! Lots of twists and good stuff!! You’ll love it!

Not sure

I just cant seem to love this book. What should have taken at max 2 or 3 days just drug and drug so a book could be completed. The story line was a tad confusing and I developed no sympathy for the main character. Narrator was great!

Couldn’t Put It Down

Great plot with continual action! The narrator adds to the excitement. All together I highly recommend this book!

Missed the mark.

Decent narration, really annoying main character with tedious internal dialogue. That being said, just as a bad narrator can make or break an otherwise good book, a bad book can sometimes make or break the experience despite intriguing narration. The stubborn main character just complained about her situations while insisting on making one wrong decision after another pursuit of a solution.

*Semi-spoiler ahead*

1) In debt, yet refuses help and a job from a loving dad.
2) Would rather sit in isolation in a basement office putting herself through psychological torture than accept help from said loving dad.
3) Consistently drags out telling the truth about her life whenever opportunities for help arise.
4) "Poor me" gets annoying after clear, logical solutions are presented but she shirks them for the ridiculous and illogical route. No sympathy.

The first Dreda Say Mitchell novel I listened to was Spare Room, which I loved. I was excited for more when I hit play. However, I found this one lacking. Lots of annoying buildup without satisfying conclusions, and overall seemed like a hodgepodge of plot lines that didn't mesh all that well.
