Romance, suspense, classic gothic mystery

Eve Silver has a gift for sweeping the reader up into an enthralling story with intriguing characters. Main characters deal with their individual tragedies in their own ways, while their disparate journeys weave in and out between their respective dramas. The eventual surprises, that bring strangers together to seek their answers, make this plot pure fun for readers. Lucy Scott's performance is a masterful delight. Some mature content and murders with a few bloody details.

Yes!

LOVED this. Such great writing. The development of the serial killer was *chefs kiss*. I literally thought it X the whole time until the end. Great suspense. I liked Isabelle breaking her silence for Beth too! There were just so many tasty morsels to this tale!

The mystery man

I love all her books. This one was a little challenging. I was a little confused, but then realized that Griffin was not the murderer. I love her audibles, and the narrator, some amazing voice in both sides, female, and male. Thank you again for your lovely stories. I’ve read all three series.

This book portrays a true gothic novel!

The plot is well written, bringing all to a wonderous conclusion.

The author is well talented in the gothic prose.
Although at times a bit long and tedious in words. Making a thought repetitive and extra long in sentences. Plot and story line was entralling.

One thing I did notice about this authors knowledge of this time period, is the true desolation and utter hopelessness and lack of choices in this time.

Women with few choices and horrific outcomes when tradegy does strike a family, especially women in this era.

In her previous books #1,3,4, and five - the practices of blood letting and the truly lack of cleanliness of physician practices are apalling!
Doctors in this time practiced ridiculous treatments to get rid of ill humors affecting the bodies and mind.
Medical practices back then was based on torture.

This time period treated women horribly and it's truly depressing that they managed to survive at all, with no rights.

I am pleased modern medicine has progressed beyond superstition and ill based facts.I

Thanks for a dark gothic story!
Also narration was done brilliantly! 5 stars!!

Just, WOW!!!

To get a glimpse into what the mind of a serial killer might be like (quite certain is mostly like) is chilling and scary.

This is a very well written, what I would consider a book that fits into a few genes (mystery, suspense, love story). It very easily kept my attention throughout and “who dun it”isn’t revealed until the very end, keeping one in suspense and wondering throughout. Listening to how the killer likes to stalk, choose, torture, kill and then keep as trophies.

The story is sad with a lot of suffering and loss (not from the killer). The main characters are Beth a woman who holds much fear in her and is afraid of the dark, being confined in small places, has panic attacks she’s learned to for the most part, hide. She’s traveling to a new job as a teacher. Then there’s Griffin a man with his own secrets and rumors running wild about him. He’s not a man to be trifled with, he’s has an air of danger and darkness about him.

They meet, when Griffin arrives to pick Beth up after her long journey to her new job. During everything that is going on during the story, they become close, seeing a lot of themselves in each other. Then Beth finds out that the little girl, who reminds her of herself when she was young, is Griffins daughter. A girl who stays to herself, doesn’t talk, nor participate and is teased by the other students. A girl Beth is taken by, but can she make a difference in the child?

There’s a lot of different facets going on and overlapping at the same time. A great story that unravels before your eyes. There is beauty and ugliness in this story, but we have to take the good with the bad in life. It’s a story with grit, rot and disgusting, along with beauty, acceptance and trust. Of course ending with lots of love. This was book one, which I guess you could stop after, I will be reading on.

Too gory for romance genre

I listened to other titles in this series as part of the Audio Escapes, but this one is more gory than I can handle. I like a good murder mystery, but this is more like Patricia Cornwell than Agatha Christie, which is what I would expect to be coupled with a romance story. This is too gruesome for me to be in the romance genre, especially when they start giving the first person perspective of a serial killer and details about what is done to the victim.

This one annoyed me.

Not a great fan of this one. It was monotonous with a heroine that she tried to write without her having a spine of jellyfish but fell short anyway. I just didn't feel it. The mystery wasn't as built as it should have been either.
