As I have recently gotten into these types of audio books, I am still blown away by this medium of story telling. I really enjoyed the use of phone calls, voice machines, and other characters to lead the story. I liked how we heard about how the perception of Miranda was going away around her as more people found out about her specifically through backdrop characters. Like how Bill kept popping up in other's stories. I think the Miranda voice actor was brilliant and I really fell in love with how she told a story. I'm not sure I am fully satisfied with her explanation at the end of "why" she was doing all of this, and why she continued. Nevertheless, I think this is worth the listen with Audible and since it's only like 3-4 hours of listening, a pretty short one!

It's sort of cheating to record this as a book when it is really like watching two episodes of a television series (or listening to a podcast). But it was fascinating--an alluring woman calling a set of powerful men and having long insightful conversations with them. I rarely like multi-voice audiobooks but this worked as a sort of radio play and was very effective with the wonderful acting of Rachel Brosnahan in the role of Miranda Grosvenor. The music and other effects worked very well also. Sort of trashy and superficial but also sort of moving and suspenseful and fun. Plus it's short--and free if you have Amazon Prime.

This was so much fun to listen to. I was captivated while listening, and wanted to be listening when I wasn't. Honestly though, the story was not the best. I'm not sure how to explain it...but I think it was the actors that made it so good for me.
If you are able to listen to this, I suggest it. Especially if you like fast talking conversations. If you want a deep plot or mystery, this isn't for you. I'm also not sure how this works be as a physical read since it was the actors that made it enjoyable.
