Dead is dead. Missing is gone. When Felix Brewer meets nineteen-year-old Bernadette "Bambi" Gottschalk at a Valentine's Day dance in 1959, he charms her with wild promises, some of which he actually keeps. Thanks to his lucrative - if not all legal - businesses, she and their three little girls live in luxury. But on the Fourth of July in 1976, Bambi's comfortable world implodes when Felix, facing prison, vanishes. Though Bambi has no idea where her husband - or his money - might be, she suspects one woman does: his devoted young mistress, Julie.

Amazingly visual experience
What did you like best about this story?
Without saying any thing that might "spoil" the ending, I love the way in the end the loose ends come together/pay off. Every character has a purpose.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. Very compelling.
Any additional comments?
I just started watching the TV series having first listened to this. And I keep feeling like I have already SEEN it. The way this is written and narrated I experienced the story completely, including visualizing it.

Book and TV show in one day
I listened to the book and then watched the TV show bit by bit going back and forth.This was an interesting way to consume the content. I will have to say that near the end it was difficult to listen to some of the descriptions. They were not pornographic but they were vary disturbing.

A "who done it", that is a drag
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No. It is a little too syrupy with way too possibilities of who "did it". Almost to the point of not having a real plot. I guess I can appreciate the character development and Ms. Pickles performance but the story line was drudgingly hard to get through, for me. More action less soap.
What about Carolyn Pickles’s performance did you like?
Her voice is nice on the ears.
Did Broadchurch inspire you to do anything?
? Sleep?

Everyone's a Suspect
Good mystery, plenty of suspects to keep the suspense. However, I found the prose a bit choppy, which I attribute to this being an adaptation of a scripted story. Narrator is fine, although the British accent may be a bit hard to follow initially.

Creepy story that gets better as it goes along
Plot stalls a little in the middle, but the atmosphere is well set. The end is shocking. A good thriller if you like stories that show the dark sides of people.

A good companion to the TV show
First of all, I am a sucker for a British accent. So I enjoyed the gentle lilt of the performance. I think she nailed the characters.
I liked the inner monologues of most of the characters. Whether the author got all of this insight from the show or if it was just an interpretation, but I believed them.
I think the story had an excellent twist, and kept me guessing, even though I had seen the American version, “Gracepoint” (with a slightly different ending). SEMI-SPOILER ALERT:
My only problem with the story is I wasn’t convinced of the relationship between Danny and his killer. Can’t say much else without giving something away.
Overall I enjoyed it, and I would listen to more about this sleepy little town.
