The Woman in Coach D

De: Sarah A. Denzil

Narrado por: Katie Clarkson-Hill

This book contains strong language, and adult themes that may not be suitable for everyone.

Jenny sits in the same seat on the same train every week, seeing familiar faces come and go.

Until a chance encounter shatters her world.

Sixteen years ago, Jenny survived a traumatic ordeal that left her best friend, Susie, missing and presumed dead. The world has its theories about what happened to Susie Patterson, and one of those theories points the finger at Jenny.

Now she lives a quiet life, volunteering at a crisis helpline while trying to deal with her own anxiety and the true crime fans obsessed with finding her missing friend. Then, on the way to her usual shift, Jenny is certain she sees Susie sitting in coach D.

But will anyone believe her?

Seeing Susie plunges Jenny back into a nightmare of forgotten memories and haunting fears. As the past claws its way into her present, she must unravel the truth about what happened sixteen years ago.

But the deeper she digs, the more she realises that some secrets are better left buried.

Meh

The narration was solid. Good descriptions. The plot had promise. Yet, Jenny, the main character, is ridiculous. Surrounded by good people, she’s still self destructive, and whiny. She has chosen to chase her abuser without a net. I listened to the end but, sorry, I wouldn’t recommend. It was annoying with her silly choices, snotty attitudes, and lack of self knowledge considering all her therapy.

Great story - let down ending

I really enjoyed the setup of the story and the narration but once the truth of the story started to reveal itself I just felt like the story took a left turn. I enjoy reveals and twists that take me by surprise and gives me this moment where everything clicks into place that you didn’t know or understand why and all of a sudden it makes sense. The ending just feels like details were thrown out to fill in the gaps of the story and answer questions to quickly wrap it all up.

What was the point of this

The characters were all very basic. The storyline could have been interesting had it found a pace that was focused more on progression than obvious red herrings. I got to a point where I didn’t care what happened anymore to the “brain broke” main character who wanted to be understood as a victim but who secretly liked being peer pressured into risky things or the side characters. I stopped before I had to hear the same dumb chant or way the author described how her character’s stomach felt one more time. Way too long of a story about someone chasing their own tail.

Wanted to like this book. . .

This book was simply too long and got lost along the way. There were some decent parts, but then it grew too long and convoluted in the middle. Nonetheless, I listened to the entire story.

good, long, unexpected

I really liked this def did not see twist coming and felt it ended well

Characters and the exciting plot

A thrilling story that kept me engaged throughout and real life characters that you can love and hate. Entertaining and engaging.

OMG

This is a great book! I wasn’t expecting the big twist. My assumption was all the way wrong which was a pleasant surprise. I would definitely recommend this book. The narration was so spot on and brought the characters blooming to life!!

Endless and unsuspenseful

Relentless yammering on about her relationship with her friend. Is her friend dead? Is she alive? That question can only sustain the reader for so long...and then you start skipping ahead ten chapters at a time and the protagonist is STILL just trying to figure out whether friend is dead or alive.

Really Good!

Great plot twists & turns kept me guessing! Great listen! Looking now for more from this author

Wow! Wow

I did not see where that was going. It definitely took me in a ride and I was not expecting it! It was a really great book and I really enjoyed it!
