Reseñas de la Crítica

"Building on the success of tense mysteries like Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl (2012), author Bonnie Traymore has crafted a deliciously unsettling domestic thriller with her new novel The Stepfamily." - BookTrib

The StepFamily

The story is edge of your seat. And the beginning has you wondering if it’s just coincidence. Of course we know it’s not! I was a little let down with how easy the ending played out, but am definitely looking forward to the next book! Over all a good listen and the narration is spot on. She really nailed the characters.

Great story ruined by the narrator

The narrator’s strange sing-song cadence makes everything sound like she’s confused or uncertain about what she’s reading. Almost intolerable. I will definitely not listen to any more books she narrates.

The story telling was great. It kept you listening. The story was very good and interesting.

I really liked the characters and the whole plot was gripping and kept you listening.

Can’t wait to read the next book!

This was the third or fourth book I’ve read of Traymore’s, and really enjoyed it. She has a way of constructing complex, layered female protagonists that make the lead character more relatable than most mystery books.

I was genuinely surprised by the outcome and the cliff-hanger at the end left me eager to read the next book in this series.

Very nice psychological thriller

Very good book with Unexpected twists and turns. The ending was unexpected. I highly recommend listening to this book.
