Downer

Very depressing. A good who done it, but I won't read this kind of book if I know that there are no, repeat no, happy outcomes for any of the characters . Beware

Boring or Bored narrator

I have never listened to a more unemotional, flat narration on Audible than this narrator.

great book great suspense

You never know what is next. I think this writer is under valued. Another one of his great books. I went to bed LATE a few nights trying to listen and figure out what was coming next. I recommend it.

Totally Engaging Story! Never boring, always moving, and intriguing! Recommend A+++++

A fantastically woven tale that had no boring parts! The characters were developed just enough, so they blended into the story. And I Love this narrator, which is a must have for me!
Never stopped moving. 🚀

Another great listen.

What made the experience of listening to A Tap on the Window the most enjoyable?

I really like Linwood's stories. I have listened to them all but one now and really have very much enjoyed them all. This one is no different.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I like the father Cal in this one....I also like Auggie the brother in law, kind of one of those bad boy chief of police type.

What does Mark Zeisler bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His voice is great. And the way he does the different people in the story really adds to this being an enjoyable listen.

Yes...several parts when people die.

Any additional comments?

This is a great listen. Any Linwood fans out there will not be unhappy with this one! Has you going to the very end!

SOLID AS A WINDOW

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, if mystery is what you like. Well written and performed. Mark Zeisler was good except for a segment where he is very bland. "She snapped" should be narrated as a snap, for example. It was like for a chapter he was tired. Not as good as "Trust your Eyes" but still pretty good

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Pretty much

Have you listened to any of Mark Zeisler’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The reader was well-suited to the book and his acting was perfect for it. Barclay almost always spins a good yarn and this one was a good listen. Very enjoyable.

Too many characters

This is one of several books I have read by this author. The others had well developed characters. This one had too many characters and all but one was shallow. And too many deaths-very sad.

Excellent, excellent, excellent!!

I really couldn’t wait to get those ear pods in my ears! This is not a book you can put down! The narrator is superb and I didn’t ever feel he needed help with male/female voices. The story was fairly fast-paced and there were so many twists that I truly didn’t have a clue to the ending until the ending! Just how a mystery should be. Loved it!
