Story1.5 out of 5 stars 3
I could tell when my son started hiding things from me. He used to walk to school with a mischievous grin on his beautiful face. Now he avoids eye contact and keeps his head down. Since I discovered he’s being bullied by a classmate, I’ve spent every day worrying, my stomach churning with anxiety from the moment he leaves the house to the second he walks back through the door. Everyone keeps telling me I’m overreacting, but I won’t risk my child’s safety. My husband and I try to talk to the other boy’s parents, but it only makes things worse. Then our precious child is hurt. Enough is enough.

An Author and publisher should do their research properly!!!!!!
There is no town near Cairns called Palms Cove. It is PALM COVE!!
The Australian accent is just awful. It’s a mix of cockney and Australian with a slight UK northern accent thrown in!!!! …even the word “ain’t” is a British colloquialism NOT Australian.
I’m 3 chapters in but don’t know if I can listen to the accent and inaccuracies.

Good story but…
The story was great, kept you interested however the Australian accents put me off. I am from Australia and I have never known us to speak with a cockney accent! Maybe some research into accents prior to recording would help.

This reader should never do Australian accents. The writer should research better
I was offended and horrified by the way Australians were depicted in this novel. The accent was appalling and really offensive to Australians.
The writer didn’t do his research very well we do t have sheriffs as law enforcement people. We have police or cops. The thought of us having sheriffs makes us sound like we ar backward and ignorant.

Not my favorite
Usually love a Harlen Corben but this was long winded and predictable. Didn’t enjoy the readers dreadful Australian accent. Overall a disappointing purchase.

Some great Coben twists; slow in coming. Narrator adds 'h' to every 's blend'. Irritating.

Disappointing!
I've listened to quite a few Harlen Coben books and this is my least favourite
the story line is poor and predictable and attention to detail when it came to the Australian part if the storyline wad lacking.
The narrator was okay apart from the Auatralian accent , which was absolutely terrible and embarrassing!

Play Dead, a great story.
Terrible Australian accent. I couldn’t tell whether it was closer to New Zealand or Cockney.

Good story
Story was good but not his best.
The narrator’s voice was really hard to listen to. At least once the context was missed and as an Australian, the narrators Aussie accent was awful, part Aussie, part Kiwi, part bad British, so extremely annoying.
I hate to give a bad review but when you’re paying to listen it needs to be easy to listen.

Great story
Although I loved this story line the reader was atrocious. Her range of character voices was to limited so you couldn’t tell which character was speaking and her Aussie accent was more British and cringe worthy making it incredibly difficult to listen to. So a love hate for this book
