About this listen
A psychological thriller of obsession and betrayal, where three characters are set on a collision course: Natalie, a grieving daughter with a history she dare not reveal; her brother, who has some dark secrets of his own; and a beautiful woman named Catherine with a talent for making people in trouble disappear.
When Natalie discovers her father dead in a luxury hotel room in Paris, she's terrified that his death - or is it a murder? - is the key to a tangled nest of seductions and dark family secrets. Years before, Natalie's mother went missing from their home in a wealthy Connecticut suburb, triggering a chain of violence that echoed through the years. Watching from the shadows, the mysterious and alluring Catherine holds more answers than anyone would guess.

Story
"...currently wanted by the police. If you know anything about the suspect's whereabouts, please call..." I look up at the TV screen, and my twin brother's face is splashed across it, life-size. It's a shock that makes my breath catch. This is my brother as an adult, my brother who I last saw 15 years ago after the fire that killed our parents, covered in soot, clutching a lighter in his hand, his knuckles stark white against the dirt and ash. Everyone always said he'd grow up to be a heartbreaker. But his face has gone gaunt instead.

Story
Ten years ago, six friends went on vacation. One made it out alive... In that instant, college student Quincy Carpenter became a member of a very exclusive club - a group of survivors the press dubbed “The Final Girls”: Lisa, who lost nine sorority sisters to a college dropout's knife; Sam, who endured the Sack Man during her shift at the Nightlight Inn; and now Quincy, who ran bleeding through the woods to escape the massacre at Pine Cottage. Despite the media's attempts, the three girls have never met.

Story
Everyone thinks fourteen-year-old Violet is a murderer. After a summer-night swim with her best friend, Ainsley, Violet is found confused, wandering in the forest - and Ainsley’s never seen again. But without a body, murder charges won’t stick, so Violet is sent away. After more than a decade in a psychiatric ward, Violet returns to her broken-down hometown of Normal, Alabama, to claim her dead mother’s inheritance and help her overworked sister care for their unstable, alcoholic father.

Great story! Kept me guessing....
But some of the narriation was predictable and boring. And the parts that the author left out was disappointing. Why was she so into the family? What was her background story? The reader had a right to know so I felt betrayed

Audible "page-turner"
Would you listen to The Burial Society again? Why?
Couldn't "put it down" - a really good and enjoyable listen - plowed through it fast - catchy story. Hope it's the first in the series...
What other book might you compare The Burial Society to and why?
Has a similar feel to Girl on the Train, but doesn't take itself so seriously.

Boring!
Writing was not creative and boring plot that dragged on. As a lover of all types of mysteries and thrillers, it’s very, very rare for me to be so disinterested as to not finish a book. I did not finish this book. Listened to more than half of it. I should have quit earlier. Narration was forced and overly dramatic.
