Awesome!!
This was an amazing book. If you like good mysteries, with a good many twists, give this a try. This book grabbed me from the beginning and held on. Along with audible narration it just added to the amazement and if I could I would rate that audible performance at a 5 too. The multiple ninrators did a fabulous job with characters and made the story all the more believable and immersive. I've got the second one in the series ready to go so I'm diving in on this one now. But, I recommend this if you're looking for a great mystery with a great twist and a writer who knows her environment, and characters so well, that it makes this Alabama native and librarian proud. Great job DEBBIE, it was an honor to read your book and I'm itching to give Scorched ground a run. Enjoy yall, you won't regretx!!

Interesting...a little predictable at times.

Good but choppy
This story was a bit choppy. It jumped around in a way that makes the story seem out of order. The story line wasn't that well thought out, and seemed to lead the reader by the nose. I'm curious as to what part 2 in the series will be about.

I love me a good psychological thriller and mystery and definitely got it in this story! Although I guessed who the perpetrator was about halfway into the story, it was still entertaining. I love a story with good secrets, family issues, and overall things never seeming as they are on the surface.
I really did relate to the FMC, and sympathized with what she must have gone through (and loved her and her mother's name). The prose was beautifully written and descriptions were vivid, and secrets are revealed, little by little. Kept me turning the pages wanting to know how all the pieces fit together.
The only thing I had a slight quibble with is that everything just tied together too easily at the end, and seemed almost anti-climactic.
Interested to know what the next book in the series holds!

Excellent narration - a well chosen cast. The writing is strong, good pacing and flow. The story , while initially intriguing, devolves into lifetime movie material. The first time I listened to this, I had to stop halfway from all the eye-rolling and forgot about it. However I began relistening from the beginning, and found the other elements kept this story afloat and it earns it a solid 3 stars.
