About this listen

Her cheating husband was murdered and she’s the prime suspect. Proving her innocence is one thing; evading a killer who wants her dead is something else.

Betrayal. Jealousy. Revenge.

Montreal ghostwriter Megan Scott falls under police suspicion when her husband and a female companion are found murdered. In what a Québec detective calls a crime of passion, startling evidence surfaces to also implicate Michael Elliott, a young investigative reporter who’d rather rub elbows with scumbags than live the posh lifestyle he inherited.

Clutched out of her comfort zone, Megan is flung into Michael’s dark world of criminal investigation. As they make a last-ditch attempt to prove their innocence, an elusive enemy closes in and threatens their lives. Who wants them out of the way and why?

Their only path to freedom is to catch the twisted killer before they become the next victims. But not knowing who to trust or where to turn can have consequences that are just as lethal.

5 Stars

False Impressions is an entertaining cozy mystery with engaging characters and an entertaining plot. I read listened to it in one day while running errands and doing chores. Megan and Micheal are realistic characters and their involvement in the crime is plausible. I enjoyed how they went about their investigation and eventually helped to solve the crime. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to future books written by her.

I received this book for free in exchange for an unbiased review.

Exciting

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I could no put this down. I was so sad when my ear buds battery died and I had to charge them cause this was soo good. Sandra did an excellent job at throwing clues and misleads in everywhere. She really had me guessing right up until the big reveal! Oh sooo good!

Keeps you guessing...

I loved this book. The characters were strong and smart. The writing was sharp. I was so invested in the story that I couldn't set it down and finished it way too quickly. You won't be disappointed. I highly recommend it.

Kept me guessing

I love it when a murder mystery keeps me guessing. This one had so many moveable parts that it wasn't until the very end that I could even begin to guess the whodunnit. That was awesome!

Megan and Michael were a great team so book two should be just as interesting.

I loved the narration too!

Ten Hours on a roller coaster!

Sandra was recommended to me from a friend and I am grateful I got the privilege to listen to her audiobook, False Impressions.

The story took me by the hand to a world of Heroines, Allies, and of course the Bad Guys and Girls. I liked that she took a little time to set everything up without having the story drag, plus it was set in Canada, which was a unique and beautiful location that does not get used in books as much as it should.

Like a rollercoaster, I was taken on a thrill ride going 150 mph at some points and loved the twists and turns. There were several people who could have committed the crime, so that kept me guessing, and then there was the relationship between Megan and Michael. I was rooting for them along the way since they had a history and I wanted someone to be there to comfort and protect Megan after her husband Tom's infidelity and then murder, which turns out to be a daily double since Tom's mistress also is killed all in the same bed. Who could have wanted that, you ask? The finger points at Megan, so she has to figure a way out of the mess, as well as who the real killer or killers, are.

Sandra's characters are all well written and evoked fear, compassion, frustration, and loathing within me. She brought them to life right before my eyes and made it easy to picture what they all looked, smelled and sounded like. I also liked that the women in the story were strong and went toe to toe with the men, especially in the climactic scene.

Kelli Tager's voice-over was impressive as well and she brought passion and life to the words. I liked the way she was able to change voices for the characters and did it so well that you didn't have to wonder who was speaking. You will not fall asleep listening to her that's for sure.

If you are a fan of murder mysteries, I highly recommend this one. Just make sure to buckle up your seatbelt since it will be a bumpy ride! Great job Sandra! :)

A weak motive for murder

The motive for murder is a bit weak in this compelling mystery, but it's plausible. The romantic attraction between the two main characters is necessary for the story and isn't overdone. There are twists to the plot, but no real surprises.

Kelli Tager's performance is outstanding. She gives distinctive and appropriate voices to the characters and handles the accents and French dialog well.

Stellar audiobook!

I had read False Impressions, but I received a free copy of the audiobook for an honest review. The book itself is a brilliant read! I love this wonderful start to a spectacular series by Sandra Nikolai! As to the audiobook, the voice is spot on for the story. Kelli Tager captured Megan Scott’s attitude and sense of humor perfectly! This book is a magnificent collaboration between author and narrator, and I will be holding my breath until Fatal Whispers is on audible!
