What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Sad ending good story “
Four stars because life is sad enough, fiction doesn’t need sad endings, even if they are realistic, fiction walks us in line between fictional and realistic— molly, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Suspenseful!”
I think I liked this Agatha Christy mystery so much because I figured this one out before the end.— Carroll C. Earnest, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Pure awesomeness!!!!”
Couldn’t put this book down. My only wish is that it was a tad longer. Otherwise perfect mystery— Michelle Pogodzinski, Audible listener
