The reader should have been told that this was not entertainment but a relating of the horrors of abusive relationships.

Unless you are a masochist, give this series a skip. Two minutes of justice at the end doesn’t balance two hours of misery.

How did I get it so wrong for so long? Lessons are more easily learned from fellow strugglers than pictures of perfection.

I enjoyed this and will listen to others in the series. It is tiring to see women portrayed as incapable of charging phones, keeping up with keys, etc. In this book the fact that the protagonist withheld information from the police was troubling. Otherwise it was quite nice.

The monotone of the narrator may have made the story seem more dismal than it actually was. I confess to skipping some chapters.

I didn’t solve the mystery and the protagonist neither was charged with the crime or fell for the detective, always a plus. I would listen to others in the series.

Did not figure who did it and the protagonist had some well deserved happy occurrences. Cooking and baking for the holidays were a pleasure while listening.

Well done! Look forward to the next one.

There was a clear path to the mystery’s resolution. Surely there can be more to the life of the protagonist than betrayal, grief and hard work. Please show some mercy. This is good writing though.

The storyline was engaging though heartbreaking at times. My one tiny complaint is just as the protagonist was taking careful and protective step in the face of danger, her phone’s battery went dead. This is a pet peeve that smart accomplished women either throw their phone into a suitcase sized bag where they have to fumble ages to find it or allow the battery to go dead. This is as cliched as the protagonist being unreasonably charged with the murder and falling for the detective.

The mystery itself was weak due to the killer’s unreasonable nervousness. I did like the loose ends being nicely bundled at the end and the promise of more enjoyable characters. I would listen to a sequel.
