It should have been just a mid-life fling. A guilty indiscretion that Neve Connolly could have weathered. An escape from 20 years of routine marriage to her overworked husband, and from her increasingly distant children. But when Neve pays a morning-after visit to her lover, Saul, and finds him brutally murdered, their pied-à-terre still heady with her perfume, all the lies she has so painstakingly stitched together threaten to unravel.

I can't ever finish any books read by this narrator. Every sentence is rushed with no pauses. The entire book is narrated with 2 emotions.... outrage and anger. I would definitely recommend skipping the audio.

Going to have to DNF this book! The narrator doesn’t take a breath until the chapter ends and it’s very hard to keep up with and giving me massive anxiety! Also the audio has a bunch of errors, sentences repeated like the editing wasn’t completed. What a mess! Such a shame.

Katherine Nichols knew she’d had too many drinks, but they were only going a short distance. “There’s no traffic anyway,” Eve had pointed out. And they'd had such a great night out, the two of them. Even now, driving them home and knowing she shouldn’t, seemed almost mischievous. All part of the fun. Not anymore.

What disappointed you about He Said/She Said?
It was so boring. DNF at 30%, It was all about eclipses and little else
What was most disappointing about Erin Kelly’s story?
It was boring, I couldn't finish it. I didn't buy it to learn about eclipses. I don't know how it got categorized as a thriller.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Both narrators were okay. The female was better but the male was not bad.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
No

How could the performance have been better?

What would have made Blue Bloods better?

What didn’t you like about Christina Moore’s performance?
EVERYONE sounds like a boy! Here we have high school girls that are supposed to be high society sounding extremely masculine. And the boys sound like shaggy from scooby doo!
What character would you cut from Blue Bloods?
the narrator
Any additional comments?
narrator is awful. I almost quit reading the book because the narration is so bad.
