Critic reviews

"[P]age-turning suspense from the opening scene...strong characterization and relationships...make this more than a satisfying genre read." (Kirkus)

LOVE THIS SERIES

I absolutely love this series! the author does a great job keeping you interested and the narrator is fantastic at showing you the emotion in the characters.

A bit unbelievable

I love these types of story lines. However, a 17 year old apprentice coroner/ME helper, is a bit of a stretch to believe. Especially all of the crime solving she does. And the narrartor is almost like nails on a chalk board.

A Poorly Written Romance Novel

This should be categorised as a romance novel, despite the forensic bits and the gory autopsy details.
The author adds way too many repetitious details about the nonsensical thoughts of the main character that could have been left out without harming the main story one bit. There are also many factually incorrect parts regarding to technology, especially when describing computer interactions.
I guess the editor was asleep when going through the book. Otherwise, it would have been about a third the current length and probably a much better value as a forensic thriller.

Needs a "teen" tag

I don't know why this is called a "forensic mystery." There's precious little of that. My fault for not researching elsewhere before purchasing, but seriously, couldn't Audible manage to come up with some sort of clear label in the description to warn adults when the content of a book is likely to be too "young" for us? That aside, there is also an annoying fade in-and-out in the audio, as if the reader were swaying back and forth in front of the microphone. I wish Audible in the US would have a way to trade back really disappointing books, the way the UK site offers.

Foreseeable ending

This story was fine. It didn't have anticipated moments that could be foreseen.
The storyteller’s voice was distracting when trying to change voices to match characters. Sorry for being harsh, but I would want to read a truthful review like this before listening to this story.
