Never Tell by Lisa Gardner
3.0
I just really didn’t enjoy this book that much…in all honesty I could have rated it a 2 but I think my audiobook experience and the fact that is my first book by this author (maybe it’s just not for me?) shouldn’t count for much.
This was my first audiobook purchase ever and I couldn’t get into the narrator. I listened to it sped up (thankful for that option) which helped but I didn’t care for the way she read it. It was very cheesy for lack of a better word. But, not necessarily the book’s fault. However, my main issue with the book itself is that I found the writing to be very cheesy! I felt like the author read a “how to write a detective novel” pamphlet and threw in a bunch of stereotypical slang and characterizations. I found myself rolling my eyes A LOT.
The story itself was just ok…the way it all tied together was beyond believable and I had it figured out about 75% in (I don’t necessarily mind that though). It was mainly just how silly the whole thing was. Like I said in my opening though, if you have read and enjoyed books in this series then I’m sure this one fits right into the series. Just not for me!
