Critic reviews

"A masterclass in suspense. This is Waller at her best." (Betsy Reavley, best-selling author of Murder at the Book Club and The Optician's Wife)

Strange ending

The ending really baffled me. Not because I didn’t see it coming (I didn’t), but because there were no indications throughout the story that made the final scenes sensical. It came out of left field, but not in a delicious, twisted, satisfying way that makes me contemplate all the clues and nuggets sprinkled throughout the book, because there were none. A bit disappointing, but of the reviewers here, I seem to be in the minority, so I hope you enjoy it.

The narrator was good, although there was not a lot of difference between the different characters voices, so I was a little confusing at times

My absolute favorite thriller!

I don’t remember there ever before being a time that I felt so great after finishing a crime novel.
I actually have a smile on my face. Anyone who has ever been severely mistreated, abused or wronged may have the same reaction. I will be looking for more books by Anita Waller!

one of my new favorites

I recently finished a book that I was not impressed with. I am so happy this was my next title. I loved the twists. I thought I had the ending figured out, but this ending was even better than what I had expected. it flower very nicely I will definitely recommend this to my friends

Justice

The twists and turns in this story kept me on the edge of my seat! I don’t usually write reviews but I must recommend this book-and this author!! I’m reading (listening, and I love the narrator’s accent!) all her works I can get my hands on!!

Meh

Very unoriginal plot and completely pointless. Not impressed. I don’t get what all the hype was about

It was just ok

The story was good but drawing out, the best part was the ending I don’t think this book should get 5 stars

Twists and turns

This was a roller coaster ride. I couldn’t stop listening! One of the best I’ve listened to

The pace was excellent!

Even though you could figure out what was going to happen the writing made it interesting getting there and there good twists and excellent narration!

Terrible ending

The ending made me feel like listening to this book was a waste of time. Not because I figured it out, but because it didn’t line up w the rest of the story.

Great narration and wonderful writing

What a great story. I couldn’t put it down just wanted to know what would happened in the end and I know it was going to be good. And it sure was!!!!
