Review from Goodnight Beautiful →
Tired plot, no originality, you know everything that’s going to happen because there isn’t a single surprise to be found. There’s a stereotypical weirdo, a gullible moron whose profession is understanding the psyche of clients, a steadfast, loyal wife who believes in her man – until she doesn’t, incompetent police who somehow completely fail to..

This story was really good and impossible to put down! I wish there was more!!
Horrible story it sounded like a 12 year old wrote it. This author needs to go back to school.

The whole series is fun, light listening. For me, background while I focus on some detail work. But this one suffered from the overuse of the word “grimace”. There are at least 14 synonyms that could be rotated instead of all the characters constantly grimacing. It’s a good word—but frown, scowl, face puckered might work..

Loved this sweet, low angst story. Age-gap, MC with disability. Bi-awaking, slow burn. Finding love in Australia – yes, please. Fabulous narration!
