Reviews
ABRUPT ENDING
AVID READER
An enjoyable book. but I would have voted for a different ending. Nevertheless, it was still worth reading. Celine Majore is an excellent narrator.
Good story!
Barb Peterson
Easy to listen to and follow. A bit of a surprise ending.
SKH
Interesting story with an unexpected twist at the end. Well read. Thank you.
sandy
Is the reader a robot? Too distracting.
Ending is off
Jessamyn Barkman
CONTAINS SPOILERS. Was a good story until the end, with good narration. But near the beginning of the story, there are several good reasons given why the death is not a suicide, including one that is practically proof. But when you get to the end, a suicide note suddenly turns up. It's like the author didn't know how to end it, so he stuck that in there .
