Narration - 7/10 Storyline - 7/10 Ease of Listening - 7/10
This book had some similar themes to The Woman in the Window, with a completely different storyline. I found it hard to follow a couple of the characters, but all in all it was good. I'm finding that the books I tend to listen to are tackling some massively current issues that many people, along with journalists have struggled to outline in such a poignant way that really makes people listen.
The narration and ease of listening was sound, but I don't think it added anything to the story in the way some books have done. Then again, it did mean that the story spoke for itself, which was pretty refreshing.
The main character and her memory is interesting, and is something that isn't predictable until the very moment it happens. That chapter I couldn't follow by audio, so had to switch to Immersive Reading to figure out what happened. I do find quite regularly that it's easier to follow a story if I'm reading the words, and it definitely was the case with this book!
We were also introduced to DI Kim Stone in this book. I find her character intriguing, so I will be reading (most likely actually reading, rather than listening) to other the other books to feature her in the future.
All in all an intriguing book, with a fairly engaging storyline, and whilst it wasn't as emotion evoking as some I have recently but a lovely easy read.
As always please let me know what you think, and please chuck any recommendations my way!
Stay safe all
