About this listen

Seventeen-year-old Tessa, dubbed a 'Black-Eyed Susan' by the media, became famous for being the only victim to survive the vicious attack of a serial killer. Her testimony helped to put a dangerous criminal behind bars - or so she thought.

Now, decades later, the black-eyed susans planted outside Tessa's bedroom window seem to be a message from a killer who should be safely in prison. Haunted by fragmented memories of the night she was attacked and terrified for her own teenage daughter's safety, can Tessa uncover the truth about the killer before it's too late?

Very disappointed

I heard this book being reviewed on the Simon Mayo show on BBC Radio Two and also looked at reviews on Audible. Somebody compared the book to the brilliance and suspense of Silence of the Lambs and there were other great things said. Well, I just don't get it, I thought it was terribly boring and barely managed to finish it. The characters aren't particularly likable or interesting and nothing grabbed me. I didn't find it had suspense at all because I didn't care who the murderer was or what happened, apart from what happened to Terrell perhaps. Very disappointed.

Good story.

I picked this title up from an Audible recommendation. Not my usual sort of listen but entertaining nonetheless.
The characters are well portrayed and the "truth" doesn't become clear until the very end.
I found this story a bit disjointed in places but overall an entertaining piece.

Save yourself frustration - don’t bother

This was such a frustrating listen! Constant back and forth through time, silly confusing name change, over complicated story with an unbelievable situations and ending.

A well thought out plot line.

I really enjoyed this book. There were twists and turns that kept me guessing to the end.

Original -not your typical who done it

very enjoyable. Good story well read.
The story is told by going back and forth between past and present and we hear from different characters too. This adds interest and ensures everything feel dynamic.
I liked all of the narrators.
Good story with some mystery but without being a typical 'who done it', much more original

Nice strong characters.

Good use of motif

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The finding of the [object] (spoilers!)

Was Black Eyed Susans worth the listening time?

Yes it was.

Any additional comments?

I quite liked this book but it was not particularly memorable. There were some really interesting characters and relationships and the occasional moment that stuck with me.
