Well Polished Psychological Thriller.

A well polished psychological thriller which was full of suspense and different points of view, overall easy to listen too. The narrator's kept the story engaging throughout. Worth the listen.

Very good read with a twist at the end.

I found this a bit slow at the beginning and, at times, a bit hard to believe but it got better and I enjoyed the second half more. Nice twist at the end. Would recommend.

It’s a smasher!

Another fabulous, twisty tale from Teresa Driscoll. Lots of suspense to keep you guessing until the end. Loved the different POV’s; each unique and authentic. Great narration too.

Wow, a great story, well told

I really enjoyed this thriller, and the plot only opens up right at the end - I had no idea where it was going. It is extremely we written, and brilliantly narrated.

Fast paced and likeable characters

I enjoyed how this story was pretty fast paced, you jump straight into it and the characters are easy to remember and follow. I worked out the twist at the end up it didn’t matter as it was still an enjoyable ride!

The awful female narration at the beginning

I nearly stopped listening to this. If I fell asleep listening to it, and it played on, as often happens, instead of carefully finding the part of the book that I could remember, as I usually do, I couldn’t be bothered to find the exact place, and just picked a random place and listened from there. The male narration was perfect, but in the beginning the female narrator read every sentence as if it was dramatic, regardless of whether it was or not. She eventually calmed down, and read more normally, but I don’t think she can have read through the book first, and she often got the emphasis wrong. It totally spoiled the book for me. I’ll now try to find another book by this author with a different narrator. I suspect the story was good, so I’ll give the author a second chance, but not the female narrator.

Creepy Psychological Thriller

This is a fabulously creepy psychological thriller from the excellent Ms Driscoll. The story is told from three POVs – Alice (past and present, Matthew the Private Investigator, and the mysterious ‘Him’. All the way through the book I was trying to figure out who ‘Him’ was, and there are many red herrings so I failed y!

The book is a standalone, though there are a few characters who have appeared before in Ms Driscoll’s books – Matthew the PI and his wife Sally, and DI Melanie Sanders.

The book kept me on the edge of my seat, and reading into the small hours, and has a satisfying ending. The narrators were both excellent.

Great Psychological Thriller

This book is about (very believable) threats and stalking that keep you on the edge of your seat right from the get-go.
There are multiple threads to the story:

► Alice the journalist receiving various and vague threats but strangely, only on Wednesdays. This is the main thread of the story. Alice tries to go about her normal business as best she can in the circumstances.
► Alice's mum, terminally ill, in a nursing home
► Somebody called simply "Him", his Gran and pervy Brian next door
► Alex, Alice's paedophile ex-fiance, who was a piano teacher
► Claire who runs a stalking support charity
► Alice and colleague Jack having a one-off date
► Alice's campaign stories about Maplefield House
► Acid Attack on Alice
► Pervy bald man on a train stalking Alice
► Ian Ellis convinced he's being chased by little people

I listened with great interest waiting to discover how all these many threads would come together at the end. Most did come together, although one or two were left hanging, presumably deemed not relevant to the conclusion. The final resolution was a great surprise and I thought unlikely, but in spite of this it was still a great story to listen to overall. Not too challenging for the listener although there were a lot of characters. I have no hesitation in recommending it.

The male narrator's attempt at female voices made them all sound like effeminate drag queens. The female narrator was better, but all her characters had the same voice. Hence 3 stars for performance.
