Good Listen

Overall
4 out of 5 stars

Reviewed: 12-15-08

Alafair Burke has a place in my library of must listen to authors. This is my first chance to get one of her books and I am delighted I did. Well written and great story. It flowed well and kept my interested the entire time.
While I think the story line is good, I think the character developement is lacking. Perhaps she is saving that for later books. Most characters were very shallow in revealing much about themselves to the listener, except for Hatcher. I think it would have been interesting to have more background on the killer. More about why he/she is doing what they are doing. This made it difficult to really empathize with them. Alafair Burke is an author to watch as time goes on. I can see nothing but better and better writings. This is only her 3rd book. She is just getting her feet wet.

I almost didn't get this book due to some of the negative reviews, but I am glad I did. I wanted something that kept my interest all the way through, for a long drive, and this did the trick. Great plot with plenty of twists and I think Rubenstein did a superb job in the narration. The ending did leave a few things open, but after all it is a mystery novel. Worth getting.

Almost missed it

I almost missed listening to this book because of some of the negative comments. What a regret that would have been. My wife downloaded it for a trip she had to make. When she returned she told me I had to listen. Glad I did! This is an excellant listen. It kept my interest peeked to the end, albeit a somewhat predictable end. I loved the narrative. I spent every lunch hour in my car listening to this book for a week. It has it's share of bawdry and warn against it, if you have a distaste for it. Over all a great story.
