I really don’t understand why authors write books full of wholly unlike able characters. Adam is the only decent adult. The rest are just awful people

Really loved this so much. Not sure what to write without spoiling it. I just love comeuppance stories

The book was great. Compelling and original. Perry, Olivia and Park being almost wholly awful people made it difficult to get through, however.

Wholly unlikeable alleged protagonist. Nobody in this book is worth rooting for. Just infuriating to listen to

There’s nobody to root for here. They’re all ridiculous people who do the dumbest things. There’s just nobody who keeps my attention. Spent the entire time being frustrated and hoping someone would do something smart.

Loved this book! I’ve come to be a huge fan of Mark Edwards. His books always keep me guessing and this one was no different. Even the epilogue was great!

Can’t sympathize with Lowen at all. Any character who goes after a married man or woman is just an awful person. And the cheating spouse is awful too. The awfulness of the antagonists can’t be used as an excuse when it’s something that had been brewing before they (protagonists) knew how awful she was. I don’t understand why so many authors use cheating spouses as a plot point. It’s the opposite of interesting. Makes me steer clear of anything from that author.

The ending ruined it. Killer goes free and prospers. We get enough of bad people suffering no repercussions in the real world. At least they should get their comeuppance in books.

Just an outstanding book. Had me from the beginning. My only quibble- and it’s a minor one - is when the mom eventually apologized and reconciled with the daughter, her apology still came across as blaming others for why she did what she did. There’s no “hey, nobody pushed me into this, I just made horrible choices and was an awful person. No excuses.” It was more like, “well I felt neglected and invisible so that lead me to do what I did.” Sort of marred the ending a little for me.

Can’t make it more than an hour into the audiobook because Jane is so unbearably awful. And Nora is just letting Jane insert herself into the family. So is David! He’s just watching Jane begin to try to edge Nora out of the family and he doesn’t seem to care. I’m out. Gotta find a book with less annoying characters. Everyone here is awful so far
