Poison Orchids

By: Sarah A. Denzil, Anni Taylor

Narrated by: Aimee Horne

A dark, compelling new thriller from best-selling authors Sarah A. Denzil and Anni Taylor

Young backpackers Gemma and Hayley arrive at a remote fruit farm in Australia’s Northern Territory, out of money and desperate for work.

The weeks go on, a blur of fruit picking, parties, campfires and wading beneath waterfalls in the nearby hot springs. Until the night the girls find themselves on a dark highway, bruised and bloodied.

Senior Detective Bronwen McKay and psychologist Megan Arlotti question the terrified girls. But Hayley and Gemma are telling two very different stories of what happened to them over the past three months.

Which story is the truth, and what are the girls covering up? A suspenseful thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.

I thought it was too twisty

Pretty good story but it was just a bit too twisty for me. I only liked a couple of the characters, the psychologist and the female detective. I did not like either of the two girls Hayley and Gemma and did not really care who was telling the truth.
The story became just too twisted and scary after the first 13 chapters and I skipped to the last two chapters to find out how it ended. I found the ending to be confusing and I did not like it. It is fair to say I may have liked it better if I had not skipped from chapter 13, but I don't think so. The narrator was good. I will be returning this book.

Serial ______ in the Australian Outback!

Really gripping story from the start of the book. Once again in the Australian outback, trauma, kidnap, possible murder, serial killer? And a major twist in the end you never see coming.
What a fun book. Really enjoyed it.

One of the best

This was one of the best books I’ve listened to and I go through about 4 a month! It had me on the edge of my seat anxious to know what happened next! The narrator was not my favorite type but she wasn’t bad

Did not live up to potential

Started off well with potential of being a very good story but deteriorated as the story dragged on and became less believable with a mismatch of ideas. If it had been cut by around 40% the story would have been much tighter. The main “twist” became pretty obvious if not all the details. It was a reasonably enjoyable book but not worthy of the many five star reviews.

Too Slow

The basic story could be interesting- gripping even. Unfortunately the author moves the plot along too slowly with a lot of repetition.
