Trust me if you dare....

One freezing winter’s night, Jenny Holloway’s mother falls to her death in a terrible accident. Grief-stricken, Jenny leans on new friend David Crane, as the police hint at murder.

Handsome, clever, and always calm, David knows just how to handle the police, how to protect Jenny and make her smile again. But then, David seems to have answers for just about everything.

Soon, Jenny begins to question what really happened that night.

The search for the truth will follow a dark and twisting path into the past, through doors that Jenny thought had closed forever....

Don't give up

For me it seemed to start out slow and then it started to pick up a third of the way into the book,then it got really interesting.

cant finish this book - long, boring, terrible!!

awful, boring, long..... omg, terrible! please dont waste your time or credits. it goes, and goes and goes and says nothing!

don't waste your time

wierd, crazy ..no story...not believable at all
cant belive I wasted a credit on this😣

Dissatisfied

Hard to Follow story line. Too much back and Forth. Very confusing did not like.

Unusual

Quite a complicated and unusual plot well narrated. Lots of twists which surprised me!! Well worth a listen!!

Excellent Originality

The story is a slow starter and to be honest I was tempted to give it up, but I'm so glad I didn't as the story developed into a fantastically complex spiders web of deception where I was never sure of the next turn.

Very good

Enjoyed the story, but found the narrator a little monotone at times, sadly. But otherwise, very good story and well written

Dire narration

I really persevered with this one as I love the author, but one more minute of “Jenny’s” breathy, barely there voice would have had me running for the hills (if we weren’t on lockdown!). Other voices were ok and I’m sure there are many who like the narration, but I couldn’t stomach it. I wonder if authors listen to an example of the narrators of their books as some must lose a lot of income with returned books due to substandard narration. When I have to keep rewinding because my concentration has drifted, I know it’s time to give up.

Wow. what a twist

Firstly , the criticism. I didn't enjoy the narration., I found it boring and lacking inflection. However, the storyline was great. Without giving too much away, the main character had me feeling sorry for her which she clearly did not deserve. The book is almost written in two halves, and the second half is when you discover what the main character is about.

well written and worth the credit.

Narrator driving me mad

I listen to loads of audio books and rarely have I struggled so much with a narrator , the quiet timid voice used for the central character is so irritating I think I am going to give up for the first time ever and read this on kindle , such a shame but not for me

Very good!

I enjoyed this story. The characters are very good, even though it can be whiny at times. Enjoyed the narrator. A roller coaster ride until the very last word!😮😊😀

Mid-range thriller

That says it all. It’s a fairly off the peg thriller of the kind that abounds. Everything is not what it seems...kind of standard fare with this genre so the “twist” was hardly untelegraphed. The title indicated the change in perception of characters you knew was lying ahead. Nothing to rave about here but I’ve listened to worse. Mildly irritating narration - I hate the wistful edge so many female narrators adopt - but again I’ve heard worse.

average book ruined by the narrator

The book would have been okay if it wasn't for the narrator speeding up and slowing down her dialogue, then moving closer and further away from the microphone with such annoying irregularity that I almost stopped listening halfway through.
The story was okay, nothing special hence my rating. There's much better out there in the Audible library!

Good story but wish I had read the book

Really liked the story but nearly gave up several times because the narrator just didn’t work for me. She has a great voice for the right book but think a different narrator or maybe two would have brought the story to life. I listen to a lot of audio books and would consider the narrator again for a different type of book but it did get aggravating listening to her.
