My Review
First thing I have to say is I never saw the end
coming what a surprise. Each person you come across could be the killer by the
time you work it out you find you are wrong.
I really enjoyed the plot I am not sure this entire story is believable
but it makes for a great listen. This is one author that is holding the clues
very close to her chest not giving you much to go on. A lot of innocent people
are getting killed along with Ken’s sister coming up missing. He keeps blowing
up her phone and going by her house but she is nowhere to be found. Could she
have been another of the killer’s victims? I wouldn’t say this is very graphic
for the type of book it could have been. The author gives you the facts telling
a little about how the victim is found and the area around them. It was an easy
story to get into the author has no trouble holding your attention.
I
thought Mr. Bruce did a really great job with
the narration. His character voices were good you have no trouble understanding
who is talking or what they are feeling. At times his voice can be a little
flat but you still understand what is going on and that it is very emotional. I
enjoyed both his male and female voices. He has a very pleasant voice that does
pull the reader in. There are no background noise if any breaks were taken you
cannot tell. There are no places where the volume is higher or lower each
chapter starts off with the same volume and tones as the one before. Mr. Bruce
really pulled me in painting the picture in my mind as the scenes unfold. I
haven’t listened to anything by him and look forward to listening to more.
Things I had trouble with are that
Ken being a detective works with the narcotics division
who wants to work with homicide is given such a big role as heading up this investigation.
Also that he would trust a news reporter with his feelings on the crime than
get mad when he quotes him knowing he is new and looking for a big break such
as he himself is. I also had a little trouble with the report I though some of
that story line was a little more than needed. He does add a lot to the story
just thought it was a little too much filler.
I
did like how it all ties in to the beauty school and the bar. I enjoyed how
they got answers and how the author brings in each character giving a full
impact to the read. It is hard to tell what is separate
or related with so much going on which adds to the read. The story has a great build up with a
wonderful plot. Ken really got into the first victim seeing her really affected
him even his dreams. My heart really
went out to him over him reliving his mother’s death. He and his sister really
had a hard growing up. The author really throws in a lot of twists and turns
which has your mind all over the place trying to work it out. For me that is a
good things I love trying to work out who did it. I really missed it on this
one. At first I had it worked out and then let the author talk me out of it lol.
My ranting is a high 3 or a low 4. The author keeps the read interesting with a
steady pace. The characters are likable even if you are trying to second guess
them. I did really enjoy the story and the narration. I do look forward to
reading more of this author work. It was worth a listen just to see how this
author mind works as she twists a very good plot.
