Publisher's summary

The perfect next listen for fans of Wendy Walker and Shari Lapena, Dragonfly Summer is a gripping thriller that asks: What happens when the past comes back to haunt you?

Jo Carter never thought she'd return to Clear Springs, Minnesota. But when the former journalist receives a cryptic note about the disappearance of her friend Sam twenty years before, she's compelled to find out what really happened. During her investigation, she learns another high school friend has died in a mysterious accident. Nothing is as it seems, and Jo must probe Clear Springs' darkest corners and her own painful and unreliable memories to discover the truth - and save herself from the killer who could still be on the hunt.

Deliciously twisty and suspenseful from the first minute to the last, Dragonfly Summer proves that no small town’s secrets can stay buried for good.

my review

hard to get into then it happened. last 3 chapters was the best good read

Okay

Not a 5 star by any stretch, but easy listening and enough of a tale to keep one interested. Narrator is a bit dry, but nice on the ears. I would reccomend this for a car trip or something to follow while doing housework.

Drawn out

Way slow The story was OK but it was really drawn out I even speed it up to speed of the audiobook and still it was drawn out

Not a fan

I would have returned this if I could’ve. The book was better than the narrator.

Enjoyable, but predicable

This is an enjoyable story. The plot was set up well, with a nice premise. However, the twists-and-turns in the plot were fairly predicable and I wasn't surprised once.

If you want a mystery that is relaxing to read, this is well-written and enjoyable. If you want one that has a great deal of anticipation and mystery, this book probably isn't for you.

Kept my interest from beginning to end.

It was OK. It held my interest. I've listened to a lot of audio books. It's not one I will listen to again but it passed the time while I was working.

Good Story

I enjoyed listening to this book.

The plot has twists and turns and the ending was a surprise.

Natalie Gold did a good narration.

Good

I like mysteries so this was a good choice for a quiet day. I might try another by this author one day. It was interesting enough to keep my attention and I didn’t figure out who did it beforehand but it ended abruptly which felt odd in this story.

loved this

This story had you second guessing right up until the end. I definitely recommend listening.

AMATEURISH

A bit dragged out for me. One major flaw was that all the main characters had mens’ names - including the women! This made the book hard to follow. Women named Sam & Joe? Why? Especially since there was only one narrator which happened to be a woman. All through the book I struggled to know who the narrator was talking about or portraying. They all sounded pretty much the same as well. The story was weak & anti-climatic. Take a pass on this one.
