Reseñas de la Crítica

"Sampson...makes a grand entrance into the mystery genre with this stellar debut novel....Compelling." (Booklist)

very good!

I really liked this book, so much so that I will listen/read another one by Cathering Sampson. The characters were interesting, good storyline and good narration. Kept me very interested and listening longer than I should.

A good start to a series

I enjoyed getting to know this group of characters and the mystery was strong enough that I didn't know "who dunnit" until it just before the big reveal. I enjoyed it so much I immediately bought the second in the series and look forward to more. I'd compare it to those strong, modern BBCA mystery series on TV, well worth the listen.

Pleasantly Surprised

I was at first a little put off by the narrator and the slow pace; it's so different from the series that I've been listening to lately. Like one of the other reviewers, I was soon pulled into the story. I'm now looking forward to reading the second in the series to see how Robin progresses as a working mother, daughter, friend, and lover.

How does one fall off air?I

Good narrator, good plot, interesting characters. Definitely held my interest. Robin is one unlucky woman, wrong place, wrong time but how can she convince get to the truth? I will read or listen to other books by this author.

A wonderful debut mystery

Sampson's stellar debut of single mother of twins, Londoner Robin Ballantyne, is instantly compelling. Told in first person narrative, Reading's performance is spot-on; all of the characters were fully developed and believable. My next listen is Sampson's Out of Mind; and I can hardly wait for book three to be released, The Slaughter Pavilion. Very well done indeed.
