Enjoyed but......

Enjoyed the story and narrator but there is the most annoying clicking noise on the audio which is distracting and extremely irritating- I had to stop and try again many times ... felt like screaming turning volume down but could still hear it - like a tap dripping - grrrrr

I would have probably enjoyed this book if I had forced my way through it but I couldn’t stand the Narrator’s endless clicking!! I got a couple of hours in and had to turn it off :( wasted my money......

Can’t concentrate on the words for all the clicks and slurps

Professional narrators work hard to remove all the ugly mouth noises from their reads for a reason. What a shame the writer felt the need to narrate - sounds like she’s drowning in saliva.

Slow and An Annoying Heroine

I had high hopes for this book. From the get go, I found the heroine both unrelatable and not very bright. I love crime thrillers and I've ready many but I found this book both predictable and slow going.

ridiculous

Found the female lead so unbelievable and annoying. so much time spent on nothing yet the end wrapped up quickly in a neat little package. I laughed at how ridiculous some of the scenarios were and nearly gave up listening to it.

Riveting narrative and excellent performance

Excellent crime fiction which subverts many conventions of the genre. Loved how she challenged our perceptions of criminals. She forces us to examine our perspective of criminals as innately “ bad people “ or whether they are just ordinary everyday people who made a poor choice or fell into a series of difficult circumstances. Love that it’s read by the author herself; and gives a fresh take on the genre. Loved the characterization of the female protagonist as both strong willed / determined as well as human with many foibles. Really a great audio book which I couldn’t stop listening to.

Good Book

Fabulous story and the narrator was very good too. Just the audio itself had a constant clicking sound which was rather annoying and defused my enjoyment of the audio.

Gripping

As they come, I find audiobooks extremely hard to concentrate on. The two things that hold my attention are 1. An exciting, fast paced story line and 2. A good narrator. This book had both. Catherine Steadman writes beautifully and speaks equally so. The story itself was intriguing, different and captivating. Would highly recommend.
