Reseñas de la Crítica

“Multiple perspectives and an intricate plot create an atmosphere of anxiety that crescendos to a climactic twist. Narrator Kristin Atherton gives an emotional portrayal of this eerie narrative, with an expressiveness that intensifies as the tension builds.”—Library Journal

“Beckerman’s tight, tense prose is fast paced and compulsive. You’ll tear through the pages until you get to a final killer twist.”—Daily Mirror

“A compelling, claustrophobic story…I finished it in one huge gulp, excusing myself unilaterally from any family responsibilities I was so desperate to finish it.”—The Observer

Such a twist

I knew something was up with the story but never imagined the twist it took. Great story!

Predictable

So predictable! If you have nothing better to do, listen. The performance looks good, however.

Excellent Listen

A peek into a narcissist frame of mind. Beware of the controlling partner. scary. exciting. well told.

Well written!

Hated to hear it end. Brilliantly executed! I thought at times “both” husbands were absolute jerks. Now I know why!

Interesting story

I really enjoyed this book. Parts of it were far-fetched, but in a good way. I like unexpected and implausible elements to storylines. It keeps things very interesting. I did figure out the plot and thought it was creative. Good all the way around including the narration. Well done.

Just when I though I figured it out

Really enjoyed this book. The narrator did a fantastic job with a great story. To say anymore might give it all away. Just keep listening.

Pins and Needles

Loved it, recommended by a coworker and was clinging to evbrilliant! and turn and just when I thought I knew the outcome, wham put twist, briliant!

Very unique

This was a romance intertwined with mysteries like none other I read. The unknown parts numbered incredibly to infinity!

Very Good

Very good performance. The plot was a little predictable but the excellent narrative made it easy to listen to.

I was talking back to one of the characters!!

Could not wait to see how the book handled the person at the end. Condescension. The author has created someone conniving, selfish and hateful. Unfortunately people with the same flaws do exist.
