Great listen

This is a plus catalogue gem. The story was good other than the lack of research or storyline behind the police work done with the crimes. I was able to easily overlook the fact that that part kind of made no sense bc I enjoyed the book though!

Unpredictable!

Definitely worth a listen. There are a few stories running at the same time until the penny drops and you realize the connection. Quite sad as these women’s lives are a reality for some. The ending was not what I expected. Will be looking out for more books by the author

Good story weird ending.

I liked the overall story but it made no sense how they tied it up. The mother in this story, given the circumstances, would not have acted or ignored what took place after the disappearance.

I finished it

I finished listening to the book, but there were multiple times I nearly stopped. I couldn’t manage to like the characters enough to care what happened to them. The twists at the end were too deus ex machina for me and I kept going back thinking I missed something. The narrators were good. The subject matter is important, but it just wasn’t for me.

Captivating!

This is one of the best audible books I had so far. The book kept me hooked from the first chapter. If you enjoy thrillers this book is for you with lots of twists and turns. The narration was amazing and kept the characters interesting as well!

it was ok

the voice actress for alegra was annoying, it was tough to get through. the others were fine though. the story started good but the constant jumping around was annoying and made it hard to follow. I finished the book feeling there were still unanswered questions. not sure if all loose ends were tied up or if I just missed a few parts. may be a better read then listen.

Graphically disturbing

This had my heart racing and adrenaline pumping on a couple occasions, including the surprisingly graphic depictions of some of the seedier scenes. While the writing seemed a bit strained at times by seemingly superfluous or repetitive detail and the plot line is a bit busy, it does come together with a few surprising twists. As someone who was nearly abducted as a child, I found myself unable to pause in wanting to see through to how it ends.

First half is very good

This was included in my membership thankfully. The first half is very good. Unfortunately the story ends up.dragging and then gets wrapped up very quickly in a implausible ending with major gaps in the storyline. If you have even rudimentary knowledge of police procedures, you end up scratching your head.

Better Read then Audible I find.

When listening to this story, I found the narration was performed without back ground information of what the book was about. Seemed they were reading it for the first time and not knowing where the book was going. No emotion.

The book itself was my first ready from Marin Montgomery. The story line was good and I believe I would have enjoyed it better by reading it myself.

Not sure I would listen to another.

oddly good

we follow the same character for quite a while then we dropped them for a while. really inconsistent comparison to other stories. but it was good and it all came together at the end. I really enjoyed it
