Dreadful

Not worth a minute, let alone it’s full, dull, unlikable, un-relatable and unrealistic length. Save yourself!

Great listen

Actually really thoroughly enjoyed this story! Being an Aussie, the accent was a little hard to understand at times.

Interestingly complex

The storyline is twisted and more convoluted than half the books I have ever read. However, the narration of it was difficult to get used to due to grating tones of voice and accents. Don’t get me wrong I know accents are varying but not conducive to a relaxing listen and flow. Overall, I could move past that and enjoy this storyline.

Unrealistic.

Can't say I enjoyed this book. I've listened to this author's work before and enjoyed it but this one failed to come up to the mark.
Too many deaths in such a short time frame.I liked the detective team but not the main characters.

Enjoyable tale should’ve been called “terminal” lol.

Female voices a bit limited and some a bit grating but all in all great narration. Lots of daily living detail which is a bit if a red herring but no doubt to set the scene for the reader. I liked the twists and turn when they eventually came, but thought I was in coronation street for a while. Oh well it was enjoyable and basically light hearted.

Interesting concept but the narration needs help

The screeching voice took away from the story on many occasions. If you want to fall asleep to your audio book this is not the one! That said I did enjoy the story but had to turn off at times just because of the narration aspect, Not a gentle tell me a story to sleep!
