Intense Thriller

I received this book for free. I am voluntarily leaving this review and all opinions expressed herein are mine.

Here, a college student and his girlfriend have ended their relationship. He then sees his good friend being romantic with her at a party. Suddenly the friend is stabbed. The student is charged but he claims that he is innocent and he saw the stabber, nicknamed "The Puppet." When the student shows up in court, he witnesses the Judge being murdered in court - again he claims it was "The Puppet." Now he's on the run and trying to determine how to prove his innocence.

This is a short but very intense thriller. The MC is well-developed. The well written story has all sorts of clever twists which keep the reader guessing [no spoilers]. This is a story you will think about long after you've finished it - Highly recommend!

The narrator did a wonderful job and had a great tone for this story.

Whodunnit?

Story keeps you in its grip until the last sentences, causing you to suspect first one person then another.

Wait for it...!

This is an interesting mystery with well-developed characters. The plot is a bit odd, to say the least. Our protagonist finds himself either a pawn in a game of murder or an unlucky soul that’s always in the wrong place at the wrong time. The MC is a bit woman obsessed and perhaps somewhat naïve. As the tale unfolds you begin to wonder how the MC can get himself into these predicaments. How indeed?

Super

At first, it began out a little slow-paced but shortly into listening to it gets more action and escalates the action till the end. The end took a chilling turn that was stunning and ended the book perfectly. Recommended.

This was a great book!

This was a trifecta the story was great the narrator was great in the overall theme of the experience was great. I loved it it was a lot darker than I thought it was going to be, but I love that as well. A good narrator can make or break an audiobook. I think this narrator only added to the experience in a big way. They do have narrators that just read the book and that’s it. This is one that sounds as if he too is into the story and is really good at doing different characters. I loved it and recommend it to anyone who likes horror murder mysteries and crime books even though this covers a lot of other genres. This was a great book!
