Excellent performance.

Very engaging. Imogen Church did a wonderful job reading. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a who-done-it with an unreliable narrator.

Good narration, lame story

If she would have settled the story after the characters university, lets say this happened 5,6 years after that, it would totally made sense, but a girl hung up on a relationship of her teens that ended more than 10 years ago its basically lame and then the rest of the story made no sense at all. I finished bc I was waiting for it to get good. Darn waste of time. The narration was good though.

A few thrilling moments, strains belief

I finished this, and enjoyed it while listening, but I felt that it was overall very disappointing. The climax is just silly, some of the characters are quite annoying. And their motivations are not believable. The performance is good, but otherwise, do not recommend.

Starts weak but gets better

Narrator is very good and easy to listen to.
Story is a classic whodunit. Number of people involved is very limited, but despite all the comments about how it is obvious who is the murderer, I couldn't decide between three suspects until the very end. Therefore, I must say that the story is ok too. Just do not expect any real depth there, it is not that kind of book.
I've seen comments that it is really unbeliveable that a person would attend a hen party of a friend that she hasn't seen for 10 years or so. Guess that is true, but then, to be honest, Nora is kind of weird. I admit I did not care much about the story in the beginning, it seemed to me that the author doesn't really know where she wants to go with the plot. But it gets better after a while, so do not necessarily give up if you do not like first chapters.

Very disappointing book with good narrator

The book starts in a promising way. The narrator has a soothing voice without loosing necessary tension, but as the story advances it becomes predictable making the "reveal" at the end not very surprising. The writing seems to be unprorpously repetitive, giving a monotonous tone through out. When the climax arrived, i was left hoping that the "reveal" had more meaning, more depth. The motives of the characters were unbelievable and frankly stupid, and they were all very one dimensional.

Amazing Narration !

This book is okay. The story is perfectly decent and has good moments of ‘mystery’. At some point I understand what the narrator went through and how hard it can be to let go of someone we loved. HOWEVER the real reason I would recommend this book is for the amazing narration work by Imogen Church. She made this book a thousand times better and much more interesting than what I’m sure it actually is. So 5 stars to her !

In a Dark Dark Wood

Really enjoyed this book, love the way the story unfolded and never guessed whudunit. Didn't want to put it down, listened till 2am this morning. The narration was excellent. If you enjoy a good psychological story, I recommend this book.

Couldn’t stop listening

This is not the sort of book I would normally listen to or read - it was recommended by a friend
But I’m glad I did
A murder mystery story with plenty of twists and turns that keeps you guessing almost to the end
A story of vengeance and secrets and plotting
I highly recommend it

Chilling

Loved the book. I couldn’t stop listening. Very real and authentic. The author doesn’t disappoint.
