De: Jeff Abbott

Narrado por: Bailey Carr, Lauren Fortgang, Greg Tremblay, Vanessa Johannson

Sometimes the person you thought you knew best...

Turns out to be someone you never really knew at all.

A seemingly idyllic, close-knit suburban neighborhood hides deeply buried secrets in this emotionally intense new suspense novel from New York Times best-selling author Jeff Abbott.

The crash that killed him

Two years ago Jane Norton crashed her car on a lonely road, killing her friend David and leaving her with amnesia. At first everyone was sympathetic. Then they found Jane's note: I wish we were dead together.

A girl to blame

From that day the town turned against her. But even now Jane is filled with questions: Why were they on that road? Why was she with David? Did she really want to die?

The secrets she should forget

Most of all she must find out who has just written her an anonymous message:

I know what really happened. I know what you don't remember....

Reseñas de la Crítica

"I could not tear myself away from Jeff Abbott's mesmerizing, gripping, and claustrophobic novel. Blame is the perfect blend of complex characters, plot twists galore, and great psychological suspense. Don't miss it." (Harlan Coben)

Luv it

Narrator was excellent. story wonderful as well, I will read this again. I love this author.

tiresomely convoluted

inconsistent characters mostly unlikable did want to know what was going on, but a slog to get there

Bananas!

Sooooo much happened in this story. Ultimately, it was pretty convoluted and somewhat confusing, but at the same time it was a blast. I really enjoyed listening to this. I couldn't stop listening, because I HAD to figure out what in heck was going on with everyone.

Jane's senior year of high school, she and her best friend are in a car accident. He dies and she wakes up four days later from a coma having lost her memory. She is the town pariah because she was driving, and a note is found at the scene leading everyone to believe it was a murder-suicide. She finally gains most of her memory but still no clue of the previous three years, including the accident.

The story plays with multiple characters and how they are affected in the aftermath. There was a lot of tension relating to her vulnerability regarding learning who she was at time of accident based solely on others' accounts, especially as it becomes clear not everyone is being honest with her. The book starts at the 2 year anniversary of the accident and bizarre events begin happening which push her to try and piece together what actually happened that fateful night.

And all out crazy ensues.

It isn't all about the soap opera, though. What kept me hooked was how much I liked Jane and the exploration of the consequences of blame, especially in the digital age when it is so easy to "troll" someone one deems worthy of scorn.

Meh

This book was just so blah. I kept waiting for something exciting to happen and finally at the end it came together but it was so implausible. The narrator was not my favorite at all, especially how she did Jane's mother's voice.. definitely don't waste your money on this one. 3 stars over all is being generous.

Wow!

So many twists and turns. I truly didn’t realize until the end all the connections. Sort of slow at first but what a finish!!!!

Great book! So many turns!! Semi slow start just a bit but stick with it.

Super good. Took me a few chapters to get hooked. It was like great until chapter 3 I got bored & so glad I stuck with it bc it picks up around chapter 9 & the turns don’t stop coming!!

GREAT story!

I absolutely loved this book! I usually am able to figure out these stories before im halfway through.. but this one kept me guessing until the very end! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Must read

Such a great book!! Did not see the ending coming. Be prepared to spend all of your free time reading this book.

Wow

I loved this book! Super intriguing! I couldn't stop listening, I just needed to know what was going on! Twists on twists on twists! The characters are well-developed and you get the feel of their personalities through the wonderful readings of each narrator. Honestly 5 stars, definitely one of the best mysteries I've read this year! Anyways I loved it. Read it!!

Not a bad story but....

The performance was over exaggerated - especially Jane’s mother - and it detracted and actually irritated me while I listened. I’m certain I would have enjoyed reading the book much more than I did listening to it.
