Meh

This one is okay- it’s not as good as the first book. The story dragged.

Disappointing End

This book started off good but then veered into normal, just so-so territory. I was hoping for much more, and I don’t think I would even classify it as a psychological thriller. It was just too cheesy. The ending was also very disappointing. I would not recommend using a credit.

Unsympathetic characters

It was difficult to sympathize with either character in here. Vic Victoria was closed off had more secrets since you should and was inexplicable interactions her husband Nick had a temper that was terrifying and jealous jealous. I wanted to find out who actually did it in the end. It was a weird ending.And I’m glad I finished it but I wouldn’t want to recommend it. And that’s what I’m going to submit.

The story has potential

The story lacked a big bang. It got monotonous. I like the characters especially detectives but the love story between Nick and Victoria is unrealistic - portraying their relationship as either all good or all bad.

Victoria

Just a really fun listen. I will definitely listen to more of her books. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
