Narrator made so terribly annoying sound, making Sara's mom sound like a horrible fairytale witch. I returned this book purely because I couldn't stand the sound and the fake and disguised accent of the narrator. Horrible horrible choise of narrator.

Terribly narrated

This was just not the usual Karin Slaughter standard and I'm a bit disappointed in this story. I cannot put my finger on what exactly was wrong with this book, but I usually devour Karin Slaughter's books and with this one, I was just "meh". It was an interesting story, with a lot of things happening, it was just missing some of the usual suspense. There wasn't much investigation happening, no real evidence were being uncovered, Faith barely featured in this book, and she is my favourite character in this series, perfectly offsetting Will's broodiness in all the stories. I did not really feel the suspense in this story and it did not really do a good job of building up to the final event.

Not the usual standard Karin Slaughter

too much of jumping back and forth to the same moment from a different angle. The narrator is perfect when telling the story but almost unbearable when in direct speech. the voices she uses for the different charactes are - exept for Sarah's and Amanda's - ridiculous.

not as convincing as the previous Trent stories

I only got this because the version read by Kathleen Early was unavailable in my region, but this is so bad. Everyones voice is read slower than the story in general, making every character sound stupid.

Good story, bad narrator

I have long been a fan of Karin Slaughter and have read every book and short story. Ms Slaughter again did not disappoint and I enjoyed the story immensely. It kept me glued to my ear buds.

The only thing that did not work for me, was the narrator. The pitch of her voice was too high for some of the female voices and the attempt at male voices were contrived for the most part. Many of the statements in the storyline, were read as thoughts or musings, which detracted from the suspense the story was building up to.

All in all, great story, poor narrator.

All the ingredients were there, except one...
