The people who call End of the Line need hope. They need reassurance that life is worth living. But some are unlucky enough to get through to Laura. Laura doesn’t want them to hope. She wants them to die. Laura hasn’t had it easy: she's survived sickness and a difficult marriage only to find herself heading for forty, unsettled and angry. She doesn't love talking to people worse off than she is. She craves it. But now someone’s on to her - Ryan, whose world falls apart when his pregnant wife ends her life, hand in hand with a stranger.

Now reduced to a schoolyard chant, the Hope family murders shocked the Maine coast one bloody night in 1929. While most people assume seventeen-year-old Lenora was responsible, the police were never able to prove it. Other than her denial after the killings, she has never spoken publicly about that night, nor has she set foot outside Hope’s End, the cliffside mansion where the massacre occurred. It’s now 1983, and home-health aide Kit McDeere arrives at a decaying Hope’s End to care for Lenora after her previous nurse fled in the middle of the night.

I just couldn’t get into this one.
The narrator’s voice got on my nerves. The characters (and there are many) go back and forth in time and, to tell the truth, confused me. When I get to a point that I lose interest, it’s time to return said book. Maybe it was just not for me as there are a lot of positive reviews, both on Audible and Good Reads.

Not for Me
This book just isn't for me. The summary sounded interesting and it could have been an interesting story, but the whole time I'm reading, I'm thinking...so, what's the point? As I usually try and finish what I start, I'll finish the story, but... This was a waste of a credit. The book's only saving grace was the narration, which was generally pretty good, except for the fact that the narrator makes southern white men all sound like Bill Clinton... Annoying.

A mixed up tale of travel, lies, murder and more!
Mr Marrs hits the sweet spot again! I really enjoyed 'The Good Samaritan' but I hated 'When You Disappeared' and went into this one with my fingers crossed but I needn't have worried as it blew my socks off.
It's a tale of many parts which contains the back stories and the present going on's of a rag tag group of people who converage on a run down hostel located in Los Angeles. The story starts off slowly and the chapters are quite small allowing the book to flow along nicely.
The narration is excellent with each character given their own voice, although there is one that sounds slightly like Sean Connery! I did start off disliking a few characters but by the time their stories were told my opinion had changed. That is down to the skill of the author.
Well worth a credit!

Another stormer of a book by Mr Mars.
I am a huge fan of John Mars and his kaleidoscopic way of story telling. Each book breaks off into a multitude of differing possibilities and outcomes, where no one fails to come under the scrutiny of the reader as being responsible for something!
Beautifuly written, engaging and atmospheric. 4 stars for this book only because although I still very much enjoyed it, I just didn't enjoy as much as his other books, but hey, when you set the bar so high that really doesn't even count as a criticism xx

Amazing storytelling
Just love all John Marrs’ books, each one so different. Wasn’t sure if I could cope with all the different characters in this one, however the constantly developing plot all fell into place eventually with many twists along the way. Well done Mr Marrs, can’t wait for the next book being released in September

John Marrs is a Great Storyteller
I only discovered John Marrs recently and have already read all his books. His storytelling is superb and the narration has always been spot on. This book contains a wide range of interesting characters with a diverse range of back stories. I love John Marrs and I'm looking forward to The Passengers.

Disappointing
I’ve read a couple of books by John Marrs, I like his fast pace, no nonsense story telling, but Welcome to Wherever You Are was long and slow. In the end ( after restarting three times) I forced myself to get to the finishing line with a big sigh of relief. It picked up a little towards the end but not sufficiently to counter the boring beginning. Too many characters, too many past and present stories made it difficult to follow. Oh and the narrator - not a good choice, monotone and again boring (great if you want to be put to sleep) perhaps would’ve been better if a woman was used to do the female characters. To sum up disappointing, not to John Marrs usual high standards.

This is 'Welcome to Wherever you are'
Come on Audible. How could you not know - and let us listeners know - that this novel is a duplicate of Welcome to wherever you are but is now being advertised and reviewed as a new novel!!!!!! I read it's predecessor some time ago, didn't like it then and most certainly am not going to try reading it again. I will return forthwith and can only hope that some of you who have enjoyed many of this authors novels will take note of this duplication

Turbulent lives
I enjoy a John Marrs book, however this was not his best. The storyline was based in America but thank goodness it had a British narrator, or I might have had issues finishing it. Good plot line and as always very complex and interesting characters, however I personally felt something was missing. I would still recommend the book asJohn Marrs is a writer who thinks out of the box making his books quirky and different. Personally I think he has s lot in common with the writer Luke Smithered both writing strange but excellent story’s .

A great book.
I will be honest, I did struggle to cope with so many characters and the time changes but I am so pleased I stuck with it as I really enjoyed it. I loved the twists and the narrator really made it work for me.

An Amazing Read
Loved it!
Why did this book have to end??
John Marrs has a seriously good mind. He has the ability for you to personally get to know each one of his characters, with interest despite how ttoubled some of them are.
Peter Noble, I feel, was the perfect Narrator. In my opinion, he literally brought John Marrs' words to life.

Meh
Listened to this on audible. If you’re patient enough to get through the first six hours the story finally gets interesting. I felt let down after finishing it as this is my 4th John Marrs novel and the 2nd one that left me disappointed. I must have started on the good ones and went downhill from there.
