Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Years ago someone lit a match...


Laura has spent most of her life being judged. She's seen as hot-tempered, troubled, a loner. Some even call her dangerous.

Miriam knows that just because Laura is witnessed leaving the scene of a horrific murder with blood on her clothes doesn't mean Laura is a killer. Bitter experience has taught her how easy it is to get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Carla is reeling from the brutal murder of her nephew. She trusts no one and no thing: good people are capable of terrible deeds. But how far will she go to find peace?

Innocent or guilty, everyone is carrying damage. Some are damaged enough to kill.

I didn't like any of the characters, so it was hard to connect to the book.. there was no one to root for. I did finish the book as I was curious to see how it ended.

Sadly didn't love the story

Among the very best narrators I've ever heard. There is some great writing in this book, but the end fell short for me.

Rosamund Pike is a spectacular narrator!

The story is tight, suspenseful, often heart-breaking and with just enough humour to give you a chance to catch your breath. Rosalind Pike is a brilliant narrator. She gives each character a voice (literally) without being cartoonish, and has fantastic dramatic pacing. So many audiobooks are ruined by lessened reading. This story may actually be improved, although I don’t want to take away from Paula Hawkins fantastic story, wonderful characters, and crackling plot twists!

Outstanding narration, terrific story.

Rosamund Pike did a phenomenal job reading this novel. Her voice was both soothing and lively and easy to follow. The story was great - the author did a nice job shaping the characters and keeping the story engaging. It had some great twists and turns and just enough suspense to keep you hooked.

Fantastic narration

Such a good book! The narration was absolutely amazing! It wasn't a happy read but not overly dark either. I don't like really dark stuff and this was just right.

Great narration!!
