Not my favorite VS Andrews.. Figuring out the characters when time went back and forth was confusing for me and I had to re listen. I couldn’t really get hooked by the protagonist. I disliked her and many of the other characters. It was difficult for me with many names and political parties and their..

This is like listening to a very bad version of a brilliant Vera novel. Its even set in Cumbria. So many cliches I lost count.

This could’ve been a great story at least for its framework, but the writer misses the opportunity by not knowing whether he should write historical fiction or erotic softcore. The reader rescues some points by her expressive narration

From the reviews I read I was expecting a very innovative account. It was very mundane.

I’ve listened to an hour, 3x, but I cannot tell you what is happening beyond a body on the beach. the narration is relatively monotone and has no different inflection for different characters. I had looked forward to this book, read great reviews, but it’s not for me.

Story ok. Ending has some out of left field clues. Narrator mumbles too much and is monotonous.
