Thank you

I was given the opportunity to listen to this book as a promotion of the narrator.
I was hooked right away and held on through all the turns. I was pleased that the plot would veer off from where I assumed it would go. An attention grabber for sure. I'll be having a look at some more from this author.
The narration though was excellent. Tom Jordan read this well. An easy to listen to voice, great pace, the characters were distinct, and really promoted a suitable atmosphere for each scene. I will most assuredly be listening to more from this narrator.

A Ear Jerker

OMG! OMG! I loved it…the narrator was great! So suspenseful…just when I thought it was predictable I was wrong…lol I found myself fussing at the character…lol Now I can’t decide which is best between this one and “Forty Acres”…When’s the next one?

Great book!

This book was very good. It’s scary how realistic this is. It’s what any parent would do to find the murderer of their own child. I recommend this book to adults not children. It has graphic parts. The narrator done a great job telling the story.

Unkind Hours

Very tense and unpredictable. Never slow in action or suspense. This does not go the way you expect. There are surprises each and every page. Narration is great.

The unkind hours

This book has twists and lots that I didn't see coming! The performance is excellent. I didn't want to stop listening. The narrator kept me engaged and wanting more. The story was very good!

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review

If I could give this 10 stars, I would!!

This was by far one of the best books I have listened to in a long time! The suspense is nonstop and twists and turns at every corner. I'm usually pretty good at guessing the ending of a book or pretty close to what's coming next. Not this one! I was completely hooked and when my daughter started listening with me halfway thru, she was hooked. The ending leaves with the opening for a possible 2nd book? This will definitely be a book I recommend this book to everyone who loves mystery and suspense! The narrator did an incredible job with the differnt characters and had the right tone and inflection at the right times. He definitely brought this book to life!

Very suspenseful

This book moves along pretty fast. Sure keeps you guessing and on edge of what’s happening next.

I hated the ending!!

This wasn’t a really good book that kept me on the edge of my seat. I wish the ending had been different though.

Hard to quit listening, once I got started!!

Hard to quit listening, once I got started!! Overall great book! I didn't like the start of the story of the little girl, but who does. But for the most part, it was riveting & I wanted the right person to get caught & pay...

Wow, What a Thriller!

This breathtaking story was so raw, powerful, and intense. It was extremely heartbreaking and emotional for me. It was so hard for me to get past the beginning while it set up the rest of the story. After that, I was totally invested in what this father was feeling and the actions that took place. This is a riveting, fast paced story with unpredictable plot twists. Narrator Tom Jordan did an outstanding job bringing this story to life. He was so chilling at times, totally creeping me out. But it was his depiction of Steven and all the extreme emotions he went through like joy, heartbreak, desperation, and obsession that kept me enthralled.
This is the first book I've listened to by Dwayne Alexander Smith and this powerful, thrilling story has made me want to find more of his work. If you love unpredictable suspenseful thrillers, you will definitely want to listen to The Unkind Hours!
