Disappointing

Feel misled by the title as it was more about the main character Katie's issues than "an absolutely gripping crime thriller." I found it unbelievable and unrealistic from finding the body to the final chapter and grew weary of Katie and her issues very quickly in. Wouldn't recommend it.

Very disappointed

I've left one other bad review in the many years I've had audible. And I'm only leaving a review because I feel as though I got duped into getting this book because I saw so many positive reviews, and need to weigh in on it to help balance it out and help someone else not waste their money. This book was just such a painstaking challenge to finish. It lacked creativity, was 100% predictable, the descriptions of things and thought processes of the characters were detailed more like a high school descriptive essay rather than a novel. It gave it a very 'cheesy' feel, and I kept thinking- who actually uses these words when they are thinking to themselves, or describing events, surroundings, etc?? It was just so rigid. And weird. try Andrew Mayne if you like this genre and want some down to earth, relatable material.

A tortuous experience

Unnecessary adverbs and adjectives abound. Even a good narrator couldn’t fix this story and its wooden characters.

Glad it was free

The narrator is very flat. I obviously had to finish it once I started listening but the characters were so uninteresting and things happened very unnaturally. I considered listening to the next book but found it is also narrated by the same women so I passed.

eh

it was an okay story. the narrator tries to do multiple voices that she really can't pull off so it makes it a little bit annoying but some of the happenings was interesting!.

In spite of opposition from the detectives, Katie begins her own search for a missing girl ...and discovers a row of coffins of missing girls from over a decade. Katie and her K9 are on the hunt for a serial killer! Enjoyable thriller. Brings to light PTSD and a greater appreciation for the military.

Great potential but disappointed

Who is the writing in the performance seem as if nine-year-olds are the target audience. The storyline had tremendous potential. But I felt patronized by the authors desire to tell me things they were obviously inferred. In the reading the story has a tone as if someone is reading mother goose to a child

Hard to listen to

I liked the story, but not the narration. The main character sounds like a sarcastic shrew, and the children in the camp flashbacks sound like cartoon characters. I’ll read the rest of the series, rather than listen.

The narrator has an annoying voice

I really don’t enjoy listening her.
She is not a good voice for this story.

Good story

This book had a good story line but the narrator spoke very fast in the narration. Her character voices were good and they weren't too fast but everything else she rushed through and made the listening difficult at times when I would rather have had a relaxing listen.
