I don’t often comment reviews, but had to for this one. Such an innovative story telling method, and a gripping storyline. Performances from all actors involved were superb.
Highly recommended!!

Unique Storytelling and Fab Story

I thoroughly enjoy all Cara Hunter's books, but personally I didn't enjoy the format here.

Good story... format not for me.

I’ve read all of Cara Hunter’s previous books and loved them but this one was so disappointing. As one reviewer said, the format was odd and didn’t lend itself to being an audiobook. Plus didn’t care about of the characters. Hope her next one goes back to Adam Fawley.

Very disappointing

Having read the other reviews of the book on audio I understand the format wasn’t for everyone but personally I loved it!
I felt like it submersed me almost like I was watching a play on a stage.
The narrators were superb and the storyline was one which kept me guessing right to the end
Don’t get me wrong it was an audio book that really needed concentration but that to me is a good think not a bad thing.
It is a “Bravo” from me for both the author and the audio producers.

Loved every minute of this

Loved this book, audio, and paperback. Yes, I listened and read at the same time. The TV script style of telling this story kind of added a great atmosphere.
Audibly, I thought it was brilliant. The cast was excellent .

Different: in a good way...

An interesting take on a thriller set as a tv show that reveals murders. I enjoyed the concept and like the cast of characters

Interesting concept

This is a very unique story about teying to solve a 20 year old murder of Luke.

After seeing the layout of the book, its not in normal pros dialogue, I decided to get a copy of the book to follow along with the audio. I struggle to read with my dyslexia so the audio definitely sped up the reading process but also added something. the characters came alive more with the inflections in the voice. the text is information dence and the audio really helped me to process this. however I think just having the audio alone would be very difficult to follow. its made up of text chats, chatroom exerpts, newspaper articles, autopsy reports, police reports, and the main body is call sheets and post production scripts with information about what to edit and where. each new speaker isn't introduced like in the book so you need to remember who's voice is who and with such a large cast of characters it can be difficult.

however I would say this really kept me enthralled, it has 'clifhangers' and twists and turns and you are still guessing who killed Luke right up to the page it is revealed. I was close but got it wrong. its the kind of book you will pass on to others, reccomend to all.

TLDR: 100%amazing and worth a listen but get the book in hand to follow along.

story is very gripping

Occasionally irritating accents do not really detract from this gripping story, brilliantly told! A very new format adds to the enjoyment.

Great story!

I have waited expectantly for month & it was confusing, convoluted & dull!
In the Farley books I liked the device of marking events with social media comments but reading a script? I’m sure I will remember the postcode for the studio but why
The only character that had a ring of truth was the psychologist
Again sorry Cara I hate being negative x

Oh dear ! So sorry Cara
