A Dark Psychological Thriller! Refreshingly Different!

NO SPOILERS! I listen to a lot of psychological thrillers and they are often so similar. This one however grabbed my attention from the beginning with a unique plot, interesting characters, and a big mystery.

The narrator was fantastic too. I highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys a good mystery. It’s not a romance thriller, this is a true psychological thriller.

What is this narration????

I'm struggling to get through this one. What is up with the childish voice and TEEEEEna? The story may be good, but the narrator is so distracting it's impossible to enjoy this listen. Two hours to go ... and determined to get through.

Edit: Finished. Wasted credit. The story was ruined by the awful narration.

Just ok...

The narrator seems a bit older sounding for the main characters age, that put me off a little. There was a lot of times that it just felt like it drawn on and on and on and ... on...eventually it got there but it took a long time. The beginning was great, the ending was actually unexpected but the middle was too long.

This book was difficult

I think I would have enjoyed this book far better with a different narrator. When the protagonist is upset, the hysterical pitch of the narrator was grading. The storyline was OK, and overall I gave it a rating of four, just think that there could be some changes made to the presentation.

Felt like it would be a great story

I honestly feel like this book could of been amazing, but the voices used for the characters didn't really work well.

The storyline also seems jumbled and hard to follow, we ramped up for an ending that came to a screeching halt and a quick ending, honestly left me confused and wanting more explanation ...

Rediculous

I never leave bad reviews but I had to with this book. The story is absolutely rediculous and unbelievable. How everyone was so blinded....UGH! The narration of Megan's voice was horrible and drove me crazy. i had to force myself to finish.

good

This is a good book I finshed it fast. it was easy to get into.

Behind Closed Doors

Great story. I didn’t want it to end. Loved the narration.. perfect twist at the end.... didn’t see it coming.

Oh please let it be over . . .

I never write a review and rate my experience with the stars alone. However, I really didn't enjoy this book at all. The characters and story line are completely unbelievable and the narration is irritating. The husband seems to really hate his wife - it's just a ridiculous relationship. The only reason I listened all the way through was because Audible wouldn't let me exchange it. I therefore tried to get it over and done with as soon as possible. A credit is a precious thing. Anyway, I would not recommend it and suggest people use their credits on something else.

Narration !!

The story was ok, an easy read. You could probably predict the ending - not a mind blowing psychological thriller. My massive issue was the narration, in particular Megan’s voice. I really struggled through it because I didn’t want to waste a credit. All I can say about the story was it’s ok, not overly imaginative. Not really any twists. Just ‘OK’.

great read

loved every minute of the story, great characters and it kept you gripped right to the end.
Looking forward to her next book.

Dreadful

Narrator - Awful voices especially Meghan

Story - totally unbelievable. A close husband etc yet doesn’t believe a word she says!
Don’t bother

Agree totally with other reviews

Couldn't agree more with the two other reviewers of this book. Especially, about the narrator's choice of strange and unbelievable accent for Meghan. Would not recommend although I struggled through due to desperation.

Narrator ruins it

The narration is dreadful, the voices make me cringe and she’s made the main character appear weak and unlikeable. No chance I’m going to be able to finish it. A waste of a credit.
