Good story but rambling at times, some relationships should have been more developed with less emphasis on other aspects. It has a good ending.

Quinn Alexander has committed an unthinkable crime. To avoid spending her life in prison, Quinn makes a run for it. She leaves behind her home, her job, and her family. She grabs her passport and heads for the northern border before the police can discover what she's done. But when an unexpected snowstorm forces her off the road, Quinn must take refuge at the broken-down, isolated Baxter Motel. The handsome and kindly owner, Nick Baxter, is only too happy to offer her a cheap room for the night. Unfortunately, the Baxter Motel isn't the quiet safe haven it seemed to be.

Terrible narration and redundant
Reviewed: 07-24-24
Although the narration was terrible I stuck with it hoping that a good story would make up for it but that fell short too in the boring redundancy. The plot itself was good once you get to the end. It was a painful listen.

The summer in question started out with hot, fun-filled days and new friendships. We had just turned thirteen and had our whole lives ahead of us. But that was before her. Before we became known as the Hixton Five and our lives become defined by one night. It’s hard to believe twenty years have passed since she was locked away. But now she’s free and strange things have started to happen. When I close my eyes, the creeping anxiety and fear is overwhelming and all too real. Because the monster is back, and I know she has a score to settle with us.

This book is really well written. It doesn’t have or need excessive foul language or graphic sex scenes to keep your attention. It keeps you guessing until the very end, it reminds me of watching Perry Mason.

Imagine a 1980s world of sumptuous hotel rooms, restaurants, New York City penthouses, and the powerful men who move easily between these pinnacles of luxury. They are music producers, rock stars, writers, and restaurateurs. They are household names like Billy Joel, Art Garfunkel, Eric Clapton, and Sting. And yet, each man has an entire aspect to his life that he doesn’t talk about publicly—his depression, his rocky marriage, his feelings of shame and failure, his private loss of faith. And now: The phone rings. Imagine the woman who has each of these men at her beck and call.

A total waste of time. It’s a pointless story that you keep listening to in hopes that it will pan out with a really good twist at the end but it never happens, only a continuation of the original boring content.

Just Terrible
Reviewed: 02-26-23
Don’t waste your time or money on this book, the storyline and the narration are overall dreadful. There are a few good parts but they are overshadowed by the poor quality of the rest of the story. I kept listening because I’d paid for it and was hoping that it would gain momentum after a dull beginning. Fortunately, the last 25 minutes of the book has a clever twist and a good ending.

Entertaining

This was quite entertaining with the many cast of characters and the music too! It was like listening to a play.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a play and has the imagination to picture it as you listen. Very well produced on all parts.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 46
In The Price of Silence she takes a devastating look at how we address mental illness, especially in children, who are funneled through a system of education, mental health care, and juvenile detention that leads far too often to prison. In the end she asks one central question: if there's a poster child for cancer, why can't there be one for mental illness? The answer: the stigma.

Much needed information for families
Reviewed: 06-01-21
Our son was developing normally until 1997 at the age of 16, he was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic with major depression. One warm day, he and his friend were arrested with a small amount marijuana with our son being court ordered to attend drug counseling. During a counseling session he reported that he was suicidal, and this was the beginning of a life long journey for him and our family as we have experienced much of what others have. I only wish that I’d known where to find an educational advocate and a support system for all of us, because my focus was on keeping him alive, navigating through all of the medications and side effects and maintaining my employment with health insurance. This book shines a much needed light on a topic that is extremely stigmatized for the child, their siblings and parents.

Don’t waste your time and money
Reviewed: 08-27-19
I had hoped for a good WWII novel but this was a story about a woman named Ellen who falls in love with a foster child who eventually goes home with her long lost father and Ellen never recovers from her broken heart. Then she fights falling for another girl who needs a mothers love. The story just rambles on and on, you keep listening hoping that it will improve but it only drags on. It covers 70 years of Ellen’s life with luke warm ending.

Late Victorian London. When James Miller, the most respectable of Scottish businessmen, is pulled, dead, from the Thames, his daughter is drawn into an investigation which reveals a whole world of secrets and corruption. Alongside local detective Culley, Catriona’s search for her father’s killer leads all the way to the tragic truth behind the ghostly legend of The Darkwater Bride and the power of her deadly kiss. The Darkwater Bride combines the genres of the Victorian mystery thriller with the equally classic Victorian mode of the ghostly tale.

Unexpected turn of events
Reviewed: 04-20-19
The narrators are excellent. The story is a bit slower than I'd prefer but it does have a good deal of surprises, some of which are not explained even at the end. It's definitely not a book that I'd purchase but I listened to it since it was free this month.
