Enjoyed

I enjoyed listing to this book, The Dead Ex. There were many twists and turns. There are some slower points, but I wanted to find out who these people are and how they all connect with each other.

The one item that I did not like was the voice used for Vickys thoughts. Why was a computerized male voice used for this part. Very distracting and odd. Thank goodness not many of these were in the story.

The story was a bit easy to figure out, yet there were a few surprises toward the end.

Couldn't decide if I hated or loved it..

There were so many parts of this audiobook that made me so angry and annoyed... then parts that made me think it was a great story. I was ready to give it 3 stars and then 5 stars. So, I settled on giving it 4 stars.

First of all, the title of this book & the summary were sort of misleading. Then the book jumped around so much and used dates and it was hard to follow. I found myself having to repeat chapters thinking I had missed something or needed to reclarify an event.

Not to give too much away, I thought that the constant twists were fantastic. Holy mother of literature. I was definitely in shock and had "OMG" moments while listening. I never had a clue to what might happen which was very pleasant because I can usually figure out the twists in books, NOT THIS ONE.

So yes, there were parts that aggravated me but this book had me hook. I would definitely recommend.

The only parts with narration that bugged the crap out of me were the male computer sounding diary entries. They were creepy and soooo out of place. HATED that part.

"Ex" This One Off Your List....

If you were wondering if it was possible to pen a dull story about an ex-wife suspected of being involved in her former husband's mysterious disappearance.....it is very, very possible. And this "Ex" book is Exhibit "A".

True confession: I have a weakness for wife-kills-husband/husband-kills-wife books. This being said, I had seen the pre-publicity press for this title and ordered it immediately before the book had any Audible reviews.. How could a book with such a great plot be bad??? Well...... I made it through 2 hours of the book before I refused to let it waste any more of my time. The book is slow, dull, repetitive and a huge disappointment.

The narrator reading Scarlett's lines is very irritating and, quite frankly, she gave me a headache.

There are so many great reads on Audible. Don't waste your credit on this one.

this isnt my kind of book...too slow dragging out

isnt my kind of book...too slow drag and the english slang sucks for an american!
