Interesting

Not the biggest fan of so many narrators & rhe story was slow at first but gets really good towards the middle. Take a listen if you can get through the first half, you won’t regret it.

Best Book Ever!!

Possible hint of Spoilers - Depending on your personality (and I only say this knowing it’s fiction) - this was as close to perfect as a story I’ve listened to yet! Loved the relationship between Myles and Saffron. Loved what a great mom and wife Saffron was. Loved the realistic loyalty shown in “most” family members. Loved that each time I almost wanted to quit listening due to how horribly Saffron was treated by Clarise, I was rewarded for hanging in there! The narrators were excellent! I would love if someone could make a movie out of this beautifully written story. A very awesome feel good kind of book. I already miss the characters….LOL
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Pulls You in!

This book not only pulls you in but holds on tight until the very end

Too many chapters

A chapter should have more then 3 sentences. I mean what book has 150!chapters with a lot of them only having 5 sentences. Good story good performance.

Worth it

I read like 100 of these kinds of audio books a year and usually dislike 80% of them. I never give 5 stars and this one is worth it.

Well Played!

The cast of narrators really helped bring about the depth of the story and more character development. The battle was formidable between Saffron and her mother-in-law. I really liked the ending.

Again all the narrators were excellent!!!

Not bad, not great.

I liked it, but some of the characters and actions were so ridiculous that it just got so annoying. Loving your mother is one thing, allowing her to ruin your life and make you and your wife and children miserable and at risk is another. What a weak momma's boy. Also, what kind of a complete idiot would keep on a nanny who comes on to the husband. NO woman would and I don't think the husband would either. Nice twist at the end and if you can not be annoyed too bad, it's kind of a good listen.

OMG!!!!

I have never reviewed a book with a written response, however, I can't help it this time!
This book was AMAZING!!!!
I have listened to ~ 500 psychological thrillers in the last 2- 3 years, and I can honestly say, with a great deal of confidence , and without hesitation, that this was, by far my FAVORITE!!!!!

Entertaining, BUT…

Miles was exasperating! Also, some of the narration was annoying, particularly the narrator for Hailey.

Wickedly fun

A fantastically fun, funny, and dark read. I loved the multiple points of view and the balance and seemingly very good and deliciously evil.
