Easy to follow

Something you can follow easily without making a lot of notes. A very pleasant listen. A few twists, but the plot is generally "linear", no jumping back and forth between threads. I also learnt a few new words.
The straightforward plot allows the author time to delve more deeply into the characters, especially the lead character, so we get to know and understand their minds. There are a few sex scenes. Clearly the author is more interested in giving us comprehensive descriptions of the male parts rather than the female parts (!)
It's about Jake Mitchell who leaves home, goes to Oxford and get's himself a very well paid job in The City. He buys a £10M house in Central London, the house gets the best of everything, finally including a Trophy Wife and a handful of staff.
Then, without giving too much of the plot away, his life starts to unravel, and of course being a Thriller, one of the protagonists has to plan a murder.
So, in all it was a great listen, perhaps the ending wasn't all I'd hoped for.

Dreadful

Sorry this was so unbelievable Not interesting … no real story. Started fairly alright then got worse and worse .

Well..... I didn't see THAT coming!

This is my 3rd or 4th VK listen, and I have to say although a lot of the time, there seems to be a similar thread running throughout all of her novels, I have to say I didn't envisage the last third of the story, AT ALL!
I thought the build was slow and I almost gave up because there seemed to be a lot of "superfluous froth" but I'm glad I stuck with it because everything is apparent later in the story . Loved it!

Ok..ish.

Frustrated that there’s a lot of emphasis on certain elements of the story that don’t actually go anywhere.

Not the best but not bad

I took a stab in the dark with this as it had little reviews but positive ones. Unfortunately, it was a dragged out and I felt that more depth could have been put into the characters rather than focusing on the past so much. It’s easy to follow and okay to listen to if you are a casual listener but if you want to get your teeth into something gritty and good there’s others better suited.
