The Mad Hatter's Son

An Annie Collins Mystery

De: Helen Starbuck

Narrado por: Suzanne T. Fortin

The Mad Hatter's Son is a gripping tale of love, friendship, betrayal, and unexpected twists and turns that leave you unable to pull away.

Annie Collins is an OR nurse who is used to caring for others - both inside the operating room, and in her own personal life. So it isn't a surprise when she is drawn - albeit unwillingly - into the chaos that is her long-time friend Libby Crowder's life.

The friendship between Annie and Libby began deteriorating after Libby met the cold and wealthy Edward Matheisen, and quickly ended after she married him. It's been four years since Annie and Libby parted ways. But now she's back and seeking Annie's help. With puzzling symptoms and a plea for help, Annie can't help but wonder: Is Libby really ill or is there more to the story than what Libby is saying?

Annie's suspicions heighten when Libby's close friend is severely beaten and dies. Faced with Libby's own apparent suicide, Annie is beside herself with guilt and unable to stop asking questions to uncover the truth. But the answers to these questions don't come without a price. Annie finds herself drawn into a life that has derailed, and pursuing the mystery of Libby's illness threatens to derail her own life as well.

Friends change, love betrays, and the end results are never what you anticipate.

Loved this mystery.

The Mad Hatters Son is one of the only books I’ve listened to and didn’t miss a word. It was brilliant !

What's the Matter my Dear? Don't you Care for Tea

This book was incredible! The narrator did a WONDERFUL job on the character voices and I feel bringing out exactly what the author intended.

For the story-line, I wanted Libby to "get better" and to trust her instinct that "something was wrong" and it was not all in her head. I wish Annie would have been a true friend and listened and helped Libby with her thoughts and feelings, vs just dismissing them like they did not matter or that Libby was just trying to get attention. Having compassion for people goes a long way.

As for the "Mad Hatter's Son" who would have thought it? Certainly not me? Which is the sign that the book was wonderfully written, when you cannot figure out who the killer is.

The Mad Hatter's son

I loved this book!It was so good I didn't want to put it down! Suzanne T. Fortin was a terrific narrator. I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

Liked the book; hated everyone in it

I don't know how it's possible to hate (most) everyone in a book but I managed it with this listen. The main character, Annie, was insufferable. Not only was she clueless but she was unlikeable and spiteful. And what nurse tells so much of their patients business!! Sheesh.

Libby is the friend and the subject of the mystery and she too was hard to take. Libby's husband was sinister and reckless and a rich asswipe. And Ian, Annie's love interest, tipped the scale on the ick-o-meter. I'm telling you, this book was just full of a bunch of unlikable people.

I finished the book because even though there were some slow points and the whodunnit was not much of a mystery, I still wanted to see how things panned out. I give the narrator all the credit for that.

ANNIE & LIBBY! DEFINITELY A GOOD READ/LISTEN :)

I thought this was a really good book, definitely got invested in the characters & their complicated relationship. It's a great mystery with all the fixings, and I really enjoyed it! I'd definitely recommend it to others, I enjoyed the writing, characters, plot and narration, all awesome!
