Lost luggage

What a terrific narrator Emma Gregory is, a lovely gently voice who can do female voices just as well
As male and boys.
This is a great story about marriage divorce love and children. It’s written so well.

Kind of interesting

I really love mystery novels and this came up as a suggestion. I would not call it a mystery. It’s more the story of a selfish man trying to avoid a midlife crisis. He is surrounded by woman with low self esteem and children who will do whatever they need to to get his attention. It ends way to unbelievably

Disappointing story lacks development

I’m a big fan of Lisa Jewel’s books however, this one was very disappointing. I thought the narration was slow and drawn out and  the characters were not likable. Long, boring sections of dialogue towards the end that were very repetitive. I wouldn’t waste my time with this book.

No Surprises

This book was easy listening, but I found it wasn’t one to keep me up at night for ‘just one more chapter’.

Slow start but worth pushing through

Good read. Not as great as some of Jewell’s others but a good book none the less. Took a bit to get going but were a few twists & turns to keep you engaged.

Enjoyable without being compelling

I love Lisa Jewel books and whilst I listened to this over 2 days it had a good story but not the normal suspense I love from her stories.

What a strange read

I really enjoyed this book - very different from anything else I have read but I hated most of the characters. With the exception of Pearl, they were really unlikeable and shallow!
