Story4.5 out of 5 stars 370
When a teenage joyrider crashes a stolen car and ends up in a coma, a routine DNA test reveals a connection to an unsolved murder from 22 years before. Finding the answer to the cold case should be straightforward. But it's as twisted as the DNA helix itself. Meanwhile, Karen finds herself irresistibly drawn to another mystery that she has no business investigating - a mystery that has its roots in a terrorist bombing two decades ago. And again, she finds that nothing is as it seems.

Good story but too opinionated
Reviewed: 02-17-22
I was looking for a new mystery author along the lines of Ann Cleeves and Peter Robinson but this book unfortunately just was a tedious listen.
Overall the story flows nicely but her main character is just not likable or interesting. In general, her depiction of the uber strong, intelligent, independent women characters next to the all the incapable idiot men are distracting and boring.
It’s too obvious who the author wants us to like and who she doesn’t.
Sadly the author also sprinkles her political views through the pages which is unfortunate for this type of book.

Fast, Clean, Effective explanation and techniques

Wonderful book but sadly inappropriate narration
Reviewed: 08-03-17
The content of the book is terrific. It's well structured, informative and contains great exercises. Unfortunately, the narrator misses continuously the point: chuckles while narrating, speeds through the text and especially through the meditation/ relaxation exercises. I will order the book to be able to really be able to take the content in. I
