3.0
dark mysterious sad tense slow-paced

Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was a fun twisty little audio read. It posed the moral dilemma of what would you do if your sibling called you and asked you to bury a body. with this set of siblings we find out their answer and it's safe to say it gets pretty messy... There's some strong tension whilst the guilt eats away at our main characters and things start to unravel as we find out it's not what it appears to be.

This didn't feel as strong as Wrong Place, Wrong Time to me, but it was still worth reading and it felt well thought out in the sense of the family dynamics and how tension builds as the main characters try to keep others from uncovering their secret. 

I do feel like the aftermath trial could've been a little more interesting and more time could've been spent on it. However, whilst the big reveal made sense from what we knew, it didn't have much of a WOW factor and was pretty basic. 

Still, I'd recommend this audiobook if you're in the market for an easy listening thriller just so long as your expectations weren't too high.
