Summary
The USA Today best seller.
Rose Grahame had everything Alex D’Arcy dreams of. A handsome husband, a stunning home and a baby boy with twinkling blue eyes and a smile that would brighten the darkest of days. It’s a stark contrast to Alex’s life - her dead-end job, her borderline addiction to drink and pills, her failed engagement and her cluttered flat. But the women’s lives are about to collide - and nothing will ever be the same again.
Strangers in a lift in a shopping centre, Alex gestures to Rose to go ahead of her when they reach the bottom floor. But tragedy strikes when a car ploughs into the young mum - killing her instantly - before driving off at speed. But was this a tragic accident? Or was it more than that? And just how involved is Emily truly going to become?
With twists that will keep you guessing until the very end, Her Name Was Rose makes you question who you can really trust and if any of us are truly honest about ourselves in the social media obsessed world.

all right but nothing special
Welll, as I have stated it’s all right but nothing special at all. In fact I’d call it predictablle and not all that well written either. Too many ‘saids’ for anyone’s liking but then of coourse as anyone reading any kind of book these days will know that being a published author does not mean one has to be an accomplished writer does it? One merely has to impress an agent and to judge from some of the drivel that is published that’s not so terribly difficult is it? This book follows an accident or is it? Rose is dead and her grieving widower is devastated though not so devastated that he can’t look around barely a couple of months after his wife is in the grave. Emily is his next choice or victim and she’s a total wreck having falllen out of a relationship that went wrong already. Well, that’s basically it really. The naration is fine but with such a predictable book to deal with it’s hard to say if this is a good performance or not.

It’s ok
I’m not sure what I thought of this. It’s quite easy listening but not gripping and I didn’t have any desire to keep listening like I usually do with audiobooks.
Everything is rather predictable apart from one of the twists which comes towards the end. I don’t think the characters are fully explored and I don’t really get “Emily”. Also what’s the deal with her and Ben? Felt like this was lacking in places and depth.

Good
Very good but not as good as “Apple of my eye” which set the bar extremely high.

Good story, narrative not great
I liked the story, that's what kept me going to the end ! I really struggled with the constant 'whisper' of the narration! It was annoying and often times lacked the correct emotions.

An engaging & entertaining listen
I totally loved the @audibleuk version of “Her Name was Rose”. “Rose” is a thought provoking & addictive thriller. based in my home town, with lots of intriguing twists & a damn good ending”. Looking forward to reading (& hearing) more from the wonderful @ClaireAllan soon.

Great Book, good story, loved it
Enjoyed this book very much. Usually there is a let down at the end but not that with this book.
It was realistic and felt like it could happen.
Liked the accents from the narrators
Onto another of her books now
