Hush

I've been a regular reader of Anne Frasier's thrillers for as long as she's been writing them. What a happy surprise to see that Hush has made its way to audio!

Narrator Emily Beresford convincingly brings Frasier's characters to life with distinct voices for all. It's a tautly written serial killer police procedural, an intelligent and meaty story. Frasier's hero and heroine are refreshingly human; a welcome change from the stick figure kickass heroine and waxed-torso-of-steel hero so prevalent in recent romantic suspense.

I'd love to see more of Frasier's suspense brought to audio. Ditto her romances written as Theresa Weir.

There's so much potential in this story, but ultimately it felt like a puzzle that never quite fit together. It's disjointed and skips around a lot and leaves this listener feeling unfocused.

No. I like the genre.

Emily did a good job with her narration. Some of the characters were difficult to distinguish if there were several in a conversation. She has a pleasant voice and is suited to this genre.

Though not for the faint of heart, I really enjoyed this story. Max and Ivy are likable characters (would love to see a sequel) and if this were a print book, I would call it a real page turner. The ending, in my opinion, was just perfect.

Painful. This book is really lame - at least for me. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for a weak and unbelievable story that's mushy with romance. Maybe I've outgrown romantic thrillers.

Basically, the main character, who was the serial killer's victim 16 years ago, and whose baby was killed by said killer, is asked to come back to help with the case when the murderer re-emerges 16 years later. Yeah. Okay. Let's just pull a damaged victim out of hiding to help catch the guy.

The main male character is okay, has a strained relationship with his adopted son.

Blah blah blah.

I just can't bear to listen to any more.

Get this book if you are a fan of romantic thrillers. You might like it. I prefer no romance with my murder, whenever possible.

If Audible had a "Donate Your Used Book Bin", I would throw it in in a heartbeat.

interesting, suspenseful, fresh

Hush is a crime drama much like many others but the storyline is quite fresh and UNLIKE any other I've personally read.

I found Ms. Beresford's narration to be stiff and slow in the beginning but she seemed to warm up to the story so that by about the middle of the book, I was able to lose myself in the book and forget about the narration.

If you enjoy stories involving psychopathic killers, this will be an enjoyable read for you.

The story-it was a different and interesting take on serial killer and capture. Also like to side stories. the characters were fleshed out pretty well and engaging.

Without giving it away-when one of the cops "woke up"

I cringed a couple of times.

I felt the beginning was VERY slow and the mixture of first and last name use was confusing. Especially in the beginning.

Love this book. Not a lot of twist and turns but kept my interest from beginning to end. if you love mystery thrillers you'll love this book.

Wow, so boring and so many stereotypes. It is awful. Nothing at all like some of her other books that I have read. The performance is wooden, which doesn't help since the story just crawls along, sad and predictable. I'm not sure when she wrote this, but it has anachronism s galore. Her other books are so good, which makes this all the sadder.

I bought this book because it was cheap. Was I ever surprised to enjoy it so much? I listened to it in one
L O N G session. All good.

I don't think it would matter either way.

When they found DNA of his mom's in the spaghetti jars.

Max, gruff on the outside, puppy dog on the inside!

No, reminded me of other horror stories, I've read.

Yeah, to the narrator. Brush up on the way you introduce your characters, they all sound the same!
