Reseñas de la Crítica

“A deft balancing act of taut plot and richly drawn characters... I didn’t so much read this novel as devour it. Brundage is a storyteller supreme.” (New York Times best-selling author Wally Lamb)

“Gripping... [Brundage] captures the nuances of class and generational perspectives, from brothels, pit bull fights and a Pittsfield battered women’s shelter, to the horse barns and cocktail parties of Stockbridge.” (The Washington Post)

"[A] well-turned thriller... Brundage writes with startling clarity." (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)

I live in the town the story takes place in!!

Loved listening to this book. Knowing the area well was a big plus but not essential.
Loved the character development. Since you knew the characters intimately it was thrilling to figure out this thriller!!

Crass Language

This book was loaded with crass/vulgar language that I found it to be distracting. If you can get past that, the actual story was somewhat good. I enjoyed the characters and I really enjoyed the last quarter of the book when it turned into more of a thriller.

GREAT!

A great listen and Bernadette Dunne, as usual, is an excellent narrator.

I didn't give it 5 stars due to intermittent audio quality problems.

Worth the $$$!

too graphic, not what I expected

Story hard to follow, gratuitous sex throughout, everyone making stupid decisions. Not really about adoption.
