Sadly I’m a glutton for punishment & had to finish the series. The horrible push me pull me emotional torment between Trinity & the twin brothers; the switch back type plot changes- this could and should have been 1 novel & not prolonged to 3 & the reader sounded like a 12 yo and each of the characters had the same voice!

Not your run of the mill; cookie cutter thriller. Great twists & turns right up to the end. I really thought it was enlightening including the ‘schizophrenic’ character and education if readers about this uniquely challenging disease.

Very descriptive; a grown up version of classic Fairy Tales. This narrator did a phenomenal job altering her voice & with pronunciation. Have heard some recently narrated books that were horrible.

The narration was marginal at best - during the second story, she calls one of the main characters the wrong name! Storyline for first book at least was intriguing and continued to keep ones interest. The second story had potential that never developed and abruptly ended.

Performance was disappointing
Reviewed: 07-09-17
What did you like best about Still Waters? What did you like least?
Story was good, but the performance of it was lacking
What was one of the most memorable moments of Still Waters?
the first time I heard each character being spoken by a different person - and their voices were not pleasant to hear
Would you be willing to try another one of Angela Dawe’s performances?
Perhaps
Was Still Waters worth the listening time?
Again, the story line was interesting
Any additional comments?
I prefer 1 reader rather than multiple readers
