The narrator is so terrible, I just gave up. It’s too bad, perhaps they should re-record with a different narrator.

Thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, unfortunately this is only title from this author. She left me wanting more.

The narrator did the best she could with such a poorly written story. The main character Eleanor is only 21 years old but, we are supposed to believe that she is all wise and all knowing and yet still makes horrible decisions.
Give this book a pass.

Biblical inaccuracy The Lord’s Prayer is not Psalm 23

One character speaks often of quoting The Lord’s Prayer, when in fact it was Psalm 23. A glaring obvious error that should have been fixed before going to production. The error was too distracting for me to fully lose myself in the story.

After having read ‘Something in the Water’, I was excited to read this one. Unfortunately, Dr. Emma’s instincts are so bad that they are unbelievable. However, Matthew’s character remains compelling throughout.

I listened for 29 chapters waiting for it to get better or interesting, it did not. I just abandoned the book, after 29 chapters I was still not interested or invested in the characters or murder mystery.

Give this one a miss.

I have read every book in the Nikki and Joseph series and was thrilled when this one came available. I was so disappointed, I would have abandoned listening but, since I paid with a credit, I listened to the end.
This story had far too many characters and too many plots and subplots to wade through and each with a lousy payoff.
Ellis was too busy trying to preach her views on the church - which barely hung together. I could go on but, I won’t.
I don’t recommend this novel at all, it’s too poorly written.

Weatherly has outdone herself, again! It’s a great story with lots of unexpected turns and great character development. Narrator James Lailey brings every character to life. Weatherly and Lailey are an excellent pairing.

A rollicking good yarn. Highly recommend. Was enthralled with the characters in the first 30 seconds. Wish this was a series, I want more!

I read reviews that it was great story with unexpected twists. I kept waiting for it to get interesting but it didn’t happen. The main characters are annoying. Give it a pass.
