As children, Sam and Elli were two halves of a perfect whole: gorgeous identical twins whose parents sometimes couldn’t even tell them apart. They fell asleep to the sound of each other’s breath at night, holding hands in the dark. And once Hollywood discovered them, they became B-list child TV stars, often inhabiting the same role. But as adults, their lives have splintered. After leaving acting, Elli reinvented herself as the perfect homemaker: married to a real estate lawyer, living in a house just blocks from the beach.

A little cheesy in parts
I am a huge true crime fan, but this was just a bit too unrealistic for me. It had a good plot, but it just wasn’t quite there.

Keep listening!
I felt awkward at first as this isn't a book I'm usually into. I usually read from a victim's perspective but from the killer, it was a bit off-putting at first. I kept listening and the ending really had me!!

Good story, great narration
Not a very hard book to listen to but kinda predictable. Best part about the book is definitely the narrator

Difficult to get through
Very slow pace. Will be ~ 8.5hrs of build up for a quick climax and resolution that is too convenient to be remotely plausible. Even though a husband and wife get off by murdering others, their family dynamic is quite dull. This book would be best suited for teenagers as the level of detail and real world dynamics are not there. One really has to ignore huge plot holes to make this enjoyable. If you like the detail and suspense of Tom Clancy or Jack Carr, this book is not for you.

Creepy but not deep enough.
Characters are not very developed. I honestly didn’t care for anyone especially not the protagonist. But the book became fast paced after the second half and was glad when it was over.

I found the narrator very irritating, his voice was not pleasant to listen to and his female impersonations. The story was interesting, a little unbelievable but still interesting.
