First Thought when Finished: Oh what a tangled web Crash & Burn by Lisa Gardner weaved and there was more than once that I was deceived! Bravo Lisa BRAVO!
Quick Thoughts: I really like Lisa Gardner's storytelling abilities. She makes characters shine and stories twist. In Crash & Burn (possibly my favorite by her) she did both outstandingly. The character arc for Nicole is not one that I saw coming. Neither was the one for her husband. You think you know but trust me you have NO CLUE! The mystery was intense but at the same time you are tricked into thinking it is solved. Then BAM you are hit with another turn. Really I was just knocked back by how many times the story swerved and yet it never went to far (you know what I am talking about: that one swerve to many syndrome). If you like gritty, goose-bump inducing thrillers then this one is for you!
Audio Thoughts:
Both of these narrators were new to me and they both delivered well. They will both go on my to listen to again list. They had great pacing that kept up with the story and slowed down when needed (yet not to slow). They managed to bridge each other in narration and compliment each other well. Well DONE!
Part of my Read It, Rate It, File It, DONE! Reviews
PS: I had to pick up the book at the library because I scratched my next to last disk. I was not going to miss a moment of this story!
