About this listen

Not many first-time novelists get a profile in the New York Times. Then again, few first-time novelists come with the backstory of an Anna Williams-Bonner: recent bride of a wildly successful novelist who took his own life even as his fame seemed on the ascent.

As her own book climbs the bestseller list, it seems not all the attention is focused on Anna's literary merit. Threats begin arriving, hinting at a dark secret in Anna's past. With her reputation—and potentially her life—on the line, is there anything Anna won't do to protect herself?

So many twists and turns, my head is spinning!

I loved the narration. Very good on different voices. The story was incredibly creative and intriguing.

Excellent

Really good sequel to the plot. It can be read separately but is more satisfying having read the plot.

Erudite but derivative story marked by very irritating ending

At first I raced through this finding it much more exciting than the first book in the series but ultimately found myself irritated by the increasingly predictable plot and the lack of any kind of twist. Also so derivative of Patricia Highsmith. Understand that the author wanted to put a feminist slant on the familiar tale of sociopaths getting away with awful crimes but ultimately felt deeply unsatisfied by the lack of any retribution

The narater is amazing

I listened to this purely because I think the narrator is one of the best. The story was not good though. Quite predictable and under developed main character. Still listened to it all though. Sometimes its worth listening to some bad ones so the great ones seem even better.
