The Scarecrow

I do not care for virtual voice however I don't let it stop me from choosing books to listen to. "The Scarecrow" had lots of the slasher type murders which were done well. I did have some issues following the some of the characters and how they transitioned into the story. The virtual voice did not help and some of the more dramatic scenes came off very flat unfortunately. It still is worth a listen if you enjoy murdering scarecrows.

Message to the author

Learn your material before you use it in your novels. Your football knowledge, to include proper terminology and intel of positions, rules, etc., is that of a wife trying to relate to her husband on game day to make him happy

Past can haunt people or create change

Enjoyed this listen. Definitely a good Halloween suspense listen. Ending was not what I expected however it was an enlightening message to
“ make people think about how life can change people for good or bad.”
