Clever writing and unusual POV

It isn't offer that a novel's narrator is, unusually, a villain -- one whose acerbic wit and maudlin romantic fantasies, love for her cat, and occasional victimization at the hands of people more twisted than she is, make her just sympathetic enough.
Wonderful, crisp narrative and a fabulous actor performing the novel.
The ending is quite satisfying.

Enjoyable Listen

I finished this one in a day while I painted the kitchen. Not being hard to figure out who the 'bad guy' was didn't distract from a great story. Well told with a few twists to keep me on my toes. Love the readers voice and will make note of her name for future selections.

Little boring and monotonous but ok

The main character is hard to warm up to so it makes it harder for me to be invested in the story. It was ok, I had a long drive and it was free.

Narrator was wonderful

The narrator brought the story to life and was exactly spot on when it came to shedding insight into characters and emotion. Well written story and looking forward to reading more from this author.

Engaging…

Although I was mostly able to predict what was going to happen, I still thought the plot was quite interesting. There were still outcomes left I didn’t expect. I’ve noticed people complaining about words being mispronounced in the reviews but they don’t take into account that the British pronounce some words completely different than Americans. I didn’t hear a single mispronunciation and I loved the narrator. I really enjoyed this story and highly recommend. However, if you already distrust most people in your real life, this book will make it worse.

Love the author's style, the story, and the performance.

This author does a great job of developing imagery without extra words. I was hooked after chapter one. The performance was wonderful—good pace, no annoying voices, etc.
