great read

very good book. if crime interests you this is the book for you. good read.

Very Good book

This is a very good book and reads almost like a true crime doc. It is not a thriller or action packed with skeleton jumping out of closets. It is an honest straight forward book about life and death and the decisions made to get there. If you like true crime you will like this. If you like edgy, tense, and bare souls this is for you.

It’s not about a twist or surprise ending, it’s about the journey to get there, a walk through one persons world.

A beautiful story about family and trial

The narration was a beautiful compliment to this somber and suspenseful story. This book shares practical lessons, that your closest supporters can feel so distant while your biggest threat stays close and friendly.

Great book! Great narrator! Not-so-great ending.

This narrator had me on the edge of my seat for hours at a time while I blew through this audio in two days. The meat of the story is SO interesting and she had a way of building up the tension the entire time. I had expectations as to what might happen next based on her level of intensity.....but the bite was not as good as the bark. Especially at the end. Build, build, build, build..... then bubkis. The female character also was rather annoying--flipping from strong and determined one minute to a weak welcome mat the next. The exhilarating moments--and there were a lot--never produced a punch. Not even the ending, which everything she and an inmate talked about should have brought a brilliant conclusion, didn't.

worth the credit!

The narrator is excellent as was the story. Kept me guessing until the end. I'm very glad I purchased it!

Will keep you wanting to listen till the end...

Great story that will keep you on the edge wanting to know what will happen at the end..

Love this Writer!!

I read her debut book and could not put it down! I was excited to see another by her and in audible. The narrator is terrific and I am enjoying the story. i have not finished, but i love this writer and her ability to craft a story. I look forward to my next trip in the car to listen more!

Review

This is a wonderful book makes you laugh and cry gets you to think twice about our justice system.mrs Plummer reads this book I really like all the books when she reads them.

Wow!

I've had some bad luck with audiobooks lately. Book after book has been either mediocre with poor writing or just not for me.

This one was amazing. Amazing skilled writer with some real talent. It reminds me a bit of the older Linwood Barclay, and a bit of of James Hadley Chase. It's not entirely fair to compare them though, This book is rich and complex. It's not predictable. The protagonist is not a weak woman, nor someone overly strong compensating for something. She's a good mother and a good human who's pushed into a bad situation and does what she needs to do. She falters, she hesitates, she reevaluates. One of the most human protagonists I've come across.

The book was the farthest thing from slow, as another reviewer states. This is not Dan Brown, If that's your cup of tea, then go read that. This is a rich complex book with just enough action, just enough thought and just enough emotion.

SO Good

I loved this book! The story was interesting, unique and filled with surprises throughout!
This is my first Hollie Overton book but it won’t be my last. The narrator of this book is AWESOME. Her narration was perfect! I hope to find more books narrated by her.
