Great book

this is a very good book very suspenseful had me guessing to the very end

Perfect psychological thriller

it's unusual to discover a book in the psychological thriller genre that not only has an exciting plot with twists and turns, but also is so beautifully written. Truly perfect--both in the withing as well as the narrating

Enjoyed It !

No boring parts. Kept me guessing, and just when you thought you know for sure, more twists happen.

Not a fan

If not for Saakia’s beautiful voice, I would have quit this had I been reading vs listening.

Loved it

I really enjoyed this book so much that I’m going to listen to The Murder List next.
This book starts off strong and then it gets a little long winded 3/4 of the way but the ending is worth the wait. I can’t wait to tell my book club.

Trust Me

Absolutely stunning mystery thriller, one of the best I’ve ever read. I cannot wait for the next book by Ms. Ryan. Excellent! 10 stars ⭐️

Excellent Psychological Suspense...

I've never read/listened to anything by this author before but am very pleased that I decided to try her new book.
The beginning of this book sounds as if the Casey Anthony trial was used as a template. The major difference is that the murdered child was found in the Boston Bay instead of a wooded area.
The protagonist (Mercer) is an author/journalist. She's been hired to write a book about the trial and conviction. But as with the Anthony trial, the antagonist (Ashlyn) is exonerated. Her publisher asks Mercer to allow Ashlyn to move in so they could coauthor a book telling the "real" story.
Mercer has recently lost her husband and daughter in a car accident and is very vulnerable. Ashlyn is a master at manipulation and story telling. She manages to turn Mercer's world upside down. For Mercer, none of that matters. She only wants to know if Ashlyn killed her own daughter.
Saskia Maarleveld does an excellent job narrating.
I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED this book.
If you found this review helpful please indicate so.
Thank You.

Psychological thriller.....

If this is a good example of a psychological thriller, then perhaps the genre is not for me. A large portion of the middle of the book tracks the subtle but distinct psychological transformations of the two main characters - fascinating for some; belabored for others. Suspension of logic (perhaps that is what makes it a psychological thriller?) allows the plot to move forward at a lethargic pace. Perhaps I would've enjoyed this book more had I read it instead of listened to it. Narration, however, is first rate - subtle voice changes, emotion, etc - all excellent. Only reason I finished the book.

really good story& performance

had a hard time getting into this one at first, but I'm glad I stuck with it. in fact, I couldn't stop thinking about it when I wasn't listening!

Trust Me

A whirlwind of wondering whom to trust and what will happen next. A gripping novel with local interest that I literally could not put down.
