Lane

A Case For Willows And Lane

De: Peter Grainger

Narrado por: Henrietta Meire

"So I thought I might take up paragliding. You know, buy one on eBay and just jump off the cliff one morning."

Emily Willows is middle-aged, widowed, wealthy, and bored. When she makes those flippant remarks to her son over coffee one Friday, she has no inkling that within a few hours she will be facing the most terrifying situation of her life. Nor could she have guessed that she will be confronting it with the enigmatic young woman who moved in next door a few months ago and who has hardly spoken a word to her since. And neither of them has realized yet that after this meeting, their lives will never be the same again.

Not Sure

The characters in this story were underdeveloped. Lane was somewhat intriguing, but I barely connected with any of them - there just wasn’t enough depth. That said, I can overlook that for now & chalk it up to working the kinks out of a new series

The possible deal breaker for me is Henrietta Meire, who IMO is a below average narrator. I wasn’t able to get past 1st book in the Fen series & not sure if I can overcome both issues here to continue with the series.

Another well written series by granger

Interesting plot and excellent character development. Granger is a sophisticated novelist.. As with the dc series the lane series is certain not to disappoint.

Superb narration. Especially well done are the different speaking styles of various characters.

Exciting

Exciting fast listen, great narration. Would have been fun to have more character development, so looking forward to the next book.!

uninspired narration

the story was ok (it's not dc smith, miss the humor), but the narration was monotone and very bland, just droned in. This could be a much nicer listen with another narrator

Too long, narration not quite right

Story felt drawn out even though the narrator talks so quickly. It could have been a shorter story or a chapter in a longer book. I hoped for a more interesting ending. If I had to do it over, I’d pass on this one.

Wasted hours of my life

This book is terrible. Which is heartbreaking because I’ve binged the DC smith series and was eager to read more. As any of the other reviews states, the characters are very under developed. Completely uninteresting story line which is odd because it is a five hour car chase. I only made it three hours into the story and then I realized that it was playing but I had already zoned out and was barely listening. The narrator is awful. Monotone and incapable of capturing the voice and personality of multiple characters.

Narrator shortchanges Emily’s character

This story was great: compelling characters, engaging and suspenseful plot, and an ending that leaves one wanting a sequel - or a whole series. The narrator portrays Emily in an annoying, whiny and overly emotional voice which notably decreased my enjoyment of this novel. Emily’s character, while certainly not as cold as Lane’s, did not seem a “whiny” one at all; one can portray a middle aged woman with an intelligent, nosy, motherly and stalwart soul without a constantly whiney voice!!

I am still getting the sequel however-it was a great story.

Great original characters

Really enjoyed the odd couple main characters and the mile a minute action. Well written.

Loved it!

The hostage situation and car chase is a fast-paced backdrop for Peter Grainger to slowly build trust and respect between the uniquely different main characters, Willows and Lane.

Another Grainger Intriguing Story

I enjoyed this first in a series book. PG develops characters vividly and very well. Cannot wait to dive into Book 2 in the series.
