Banal storyline very predictable and such a different standard to book 1. Character development is poorly done as Millie seems annoying and judgemental. Basic mundane activities are dramatised in effort to build suspense. Disappointed in Book 3

Story begins well then as it progresses becomes repetitive &drawn out. While reader is asked to suspend belief, the ending is ridiculous and lazy . She has written better books so I expected more.

Way too much focus on the minutia of early life-amusing and well written in places but fell well short as it became too tedious and painful to continue...I made ut half way through and stopped because this book is literally not that interesting - at all !!
Dont waste your time.

It is what it is,...a work of fiction set in Northern Territory so you do need to lean into the plot . I say this as some reviews said it wasnt realistic . The description of the Northern Territory & heat is on point & transports you there .We absolutely Loved it! Hooked from beginning, Fantasticly written and we listened while on a road & camping trip in Aus Outback. One of the best books I have come accross in a long time! The Narrator is the best I have ever heard . Clever writing & brilliant plot matched by Narrator's performance .

Too repetitive and drawn out. Became very tedious and lost interest . Couldn't send it back to swap out for another book. I didn't enjoy the narration but that may be down to the overdone internal dialogue and weak writing .

Great plot line, fantastic prose and investigation/insight into nuances of offenders of that ilk- Extremely well written account of investigation & naŕrations but end is too abrupt & disjointed- a missed opportunity to tie things together in realistic fashion. Sorry 😞

While the listner needed to suspend belief& lean into storylines, this end to Trilogy is disappointing. Too many side characters & no real character development. A waste of money/ slash audible credit which is a shame as I really like the author's style& stories & feel mean saying this. This one was Guilding the Lily but I look forward to future novels , It could have been better delivered as short story without the padding to try making it a novel.
