What Audible Listeners Are Saying

3/5 stars — “Entertaining Story”
I liked this one a lot, not my favorite but it was still entertaining. I got through it pretty quick. I’m sorry though, when I saw who narrated it, I was disappointed, I just cannot stand her voice, you get used to it. But no real change from any other story, very monotone.

— Karl Wollman, Audible listener

3/5 stars — “I think I am done now”
I have been binging everything Frieda for a month. “Ward D” was a huge disappointment and while this was better, it is not “The Housemaid” or it’s sequel.
“Never Lie” was fine.
I think I prefer the sophisticated Freida. This is not that.

— AtticusAtticus, Audible listener

3/5 stars — “Bland and predictable”
Not a bad book – just completely predictable. I prefer unexpected twists and turns. Not McFadden’s best work.

— H.T. Abell, Audible listener
