Suffer the Children

By: John Saul

Narrated by: Paul Woodson

Innocence dies so easily. Evil lives again...and again...and again.

One hundred years ago in Port Arbello a pretty little girl began to scream. And struggle. And die. No one heard. No one saw. Just one man whose guilty heart burst in pain as he dashed himself to death in the sea.

Now something peculiar is happening in Port Arbello. The children are disappearing, one by one. An evil history is repeating itself. And one strange, terrified child has ended her silence with a scream that began 100 years ago.

The whodunnit mystery.

The story was interesting and kept me involved. My only real complaint seems to be a typical problem in entertainment these days: unsatisfying snd/or unresolved endings, or the bad guys or entity wins. if I want real life endings, I can just watch the news. There are no heroes or any hope in these books or shows. Just one women's opinion here.

Captivating

Captivating however the ending I did not like it was rushed and I would have liked a different ending to tie up the beginning and middle

Not what I remembered

I had a hard time with this book. I used to like John Saul when I was a teenager. I guess my tastes have changed.

Narration is amazing and this is a gripping story

Paul Woodson did a fantastic job with his narration! I loved it! The voice that he used for each character was right on point. The story was also engaging, and creepy. I would definitely recommend.

unsatisfying ending

... but typical for the genre. All in all, it's a good quick read. John Saul is, as always, an excellent wordsmith.
