Gripping story set during thr pandemic

Good pace and well developed characters. The fact that the story is set in the middle of the pandemic makes it more relatable to those who bought and read this book.

Wow, Believe the Hype!!!!

I had never heard of Karin Slaughter until I heard her being interviewed on BBC Radio 5. She came across as being very interesting and intelligent. I immediately looked up this book and pre-ordered it, I am so pleased I did. Four days later I’ve listened to the he whole thing, totally gripping and an amazing insight into the characters lives. I strongly recommend this novel so much so I have immediately bought another book by the same author.

Well narrated story which holds the attention

Credible and engaging characters in an enjoyable tale. The performance enhanced the enjoyment of the book and filled the characters with life and colour. Good listen overall.

Another Amazing Standalone by Karin Slaughter

I’ve loved all of Karin Slaughter’s books. False Witness is harrowing at times and the subject matter is tough. The narration is good and whilst I had an idea how the book would end, I was still left in tears. Highly recommended.

Unputdownable

I’m just about to listen to this wonderful story once again.
It was one of the best stories I’ve read or listened to in years.
