Audiobook on Storytel.

The author's newest stories are much better than her backwork. I liked the premise, but the execution could have been better. It was a little too long, which caused some scenes to be boring.

I don’t like mystery books. I find the solution obvious and get impatient waiting for the author to get to the point. But this book actually had plot twists I didn’t expect. I’ll definitely recommend it to my friends.

This thriller is just unpleasant in every way, too long, and too many clichés.

The premise is ok, but it seems like the author wanted to make it unique. She tries too hard and misses the mark. Twisty twists if you can slog through. Maybe sets up for a sequel.

After enjoying Rock, Paper, Scissors so much, I wanted to check out her catalog. And I should have picked up on the twist (at least one, anyway) after

It might be a better read--I don't recommend the audio version.

I do have her recent one on hold at the library, I will give her another shot.

Good, run of the mill thriller that is easy to fly through. I kind of saw the twist coming but still enjoyed it!

Kept my interest and I enjoyed most of the twists and turns, but like most people I didn't think the final twist was necessary or even made sense.
