holds your interest

love narrators with Australian accents. they hold me captive. this really had an end i was not expecting

Big twist

I was oblivious to some of the little details and the end just tied everything together. I gasped at the truth. Fun book but kind of slow to take.

Good listen!

I loved the suspense …. It built up just enough to keep you hanging after every chapter. The only issue for me was the narrator when she portrayed the children. So nasally that it was disturbing. The other characters were done flawlessly.

Suspenseful

The book was full of suspense, but the story was so unrealistic and crazy at times.

Entertaining Listen

This was an entertaining listen. I did somewhat know what was happening and did guess before the end but it was still worth the listen. It was entertaining enough to keep my attention and interest. Something to listen to while cooking, cleaning etc.
