Upside down after a devastating series of tragedies leads to her medical license being revoked, Maggie has lost her purpose, but not her nerve or her passion.

Not like HC books.

I am almost falling asleep with this one. I have never felt that way about any of Harlan Cobens books before. bleh...
no I am at chapter 10, and I just cant finish it.

Story was great but the writing was not!

The storyline was great but the writing made it feel like a drag. The description in the narrative felt amateur. Reese’ performance in the beginning was amazing but somewhere in the middle became irritating.

Overly dramatized narration

Not as good as his other books.
Boring overall story, fillers and repetitions.
2 more hours to finish this book and it’s getting tedious.
But since I spent a credit on it I will listen to the end.
The Maggie narrator was annoying with her over the top dramatization!

The narration

The narration of the character Maggie was read at times like a melodrama. Annoying. I suppose it was meant to convey suspense but it got in the way of itself and just sounded corny. The story was also mediocre.

Great storyline and many twists unexpected

Narration was hard to hear at times, had to keep adjusting volume up and down, depending on who was speaking.
