Suspenseful twists and turns.
This story kept me on edge never anticipating it would turn out the way it did always imagining who and what the answer but it all changed to an unexpected ending. Very good listen. I couldn’t stop listening the story in one day.

Good Story, Nicely Performed
This books would definitely be a 4 or 5, had it not been for its excessive length. A missed opportunity for the editor IMHO. The performance was well done, which can be tricky with multiple POVs. The echo effect for phone dialogue was unnecessary. The Sydney setting was interesting to explore.

Just an ok book by Anni Taylor - others are better
Didn’t find myself warming up to any of the characters. Narrator’s voice was monotonous & melodramatic.

Mixed Feelings
The story had potential, but fell short. There are many filler chapters where the story doesn't progress much. Tommy's kidnapping and the notes seem like a side plot in the story of the narrator's mental breakdown. Too bad... The narration was good though.
