One Click

De: Andrea Mara

Narrado por: Lilian Wouters

When Lauren takes a photo of a stranger on a beach and shares it online, she has no idea what will come of that single click.

Her daughters are surprised that she posted a photo without consent, but it’s only when she starts to get anonymous messages about the woman on the beach that she deletes the photo. It’s too little too late, and the messages escalate, prompting Lauren to confess to the woman. The woman has her own dark story, one that might explain the messages, but Lauren isn’t convinced. Then her ex-husband begins to harass her, telling her she shares too much online and brought this on herself.

She’s also dealing with other problems. A difficult client at work starts to show up in places he shouldn’t be. Her younger daughter is behaving out of character and Lauren can’t work out what’s wrong. And the cracks are literally beginning to show in her old South Dublin house, mirroring the cracks in her carefully curated life.

Meanwhile, the messages from the internet troll become more personal and more vindictive. Her friends feel she should stand up to her stalker, but Lauren isn’t so sure. And then she makes one small mistake that brings everything tumbling down.

Enjoyed the story but not the narration

I had to look this narrator up, and I heard her voice work on her website, which was lovely. But her narration of this book was very irritating. I couldn't tell if the inflection she tried to speak in when voicing the mother and her kids was supposed to be Irish. Whatever she was doing, it didn't work. She basically just changed the inflections and spoke in flat tones. It was distracting to the point of borderline bizarre at times. That said, I enjoyed the story itself. I felt it was original, believable, and the red herrings were effective and not just thrown in haphazardly. I will read more from this author.

Great story, awful narration

Terrible narration, the Irish accent and total lack of basic pronunciation of local terms made it sound like it was being read by AI. If it wasn't for the storyline I would have long given up

Terrible narration

The worst narrator I have heard on Audible. Sounded robotic most times, pronounced words incorrectly, and repeated several sentences over again. Could not finish.
