The story was really really slow. It did make some interesting points and had a good dramatic effect but I did not feel that it was suspenseful at all. It was psychological but not a psychological Thriller. I kept waiting for something suspenseful or thrilling to happen but it never felt thrilling or suspenseful.

Extremely slow story. I even played it at 1.25 speed just trying to get through it but finally abandoned it with a couple of hours left. I just didn’t really care what happened to her in the end.

This is one of those 'can't put it down' novels - the intrigue, suspense and discoveries along the way hold many twists and turns. Beautifully written and great narration!

Loved the book, although it was slow at times, but it certainly ended quite unexpectedly, never saw that coming. Looking forward to the movie and the next book fby A.J. Finn. epm

Boring. The story never picks up.

Interesting plot twist. Book was good. Just a bit slow.

Very good

Don’t believe what others are saying about being slow- it was so good. I almost didn’t read because of the negative reviews but once I started I didn’t want to do anything but listen to this until it was done!! Definitely a psychological thriller!

This book was a mess, it and Anna too. Anna, a psychiatrist is someone who shouldn't be, but then again the loss of her family may explain her actions. She lost her husband and daughter in a accident and now she has a fear of leaving her house. So now she obsessed with watching the neighbors and drinking while taking her meds. She's convinced that she saw her neighbor kill his wife, but finds out it wasn't him but someone she never expects. Everyone including the police thinks she's hallucinating or maybe drinking too much. It was ok, but toooooooo drawn-out storyline. I went ahead and watched the movie on Netflix. I usually don't like movie made from books because they don't do them justice however, this one was much better than the book. #Book31of2021 #bookworm #whatsnext

I was not sure how to rate this book. I started and stopped it several times. Finally knew I had to finish it as I hate letting things go undone! A bit better as it neared the end but wasn’t surprised “ who done it”

I can’t even get through this book. It’s horribly slow and wordy!! UGH! I hate wasting credits.

Hate it can’t listen to it

Enjoyed the twists and turns of the book.

This book kept you guessing. A psychological thriller. Narrated very well.

This book was fabulous! So many twist and turns with a surprise ending!

This was a good book and the reader was good. There were parts that could have moved faster, but there were also a few plot twists that were very good. I was surprised with the ending.

I didn’t like the character and it just dragged on and on. I don’t like not finishing a book but this tempted me .

Slow at the beginning but then was a non stop listen for me

The Narrator read to slow.

Excellent book. Very unpredictable ending. Really a Great Book. Couldn’t stop listen. Very very surprising. Loved.

Tiresome and a total waste of time.

I thought the plot was a little slow - I just wanted the story to move along and end. I got tired of her same old actions...

Very slow story-could have gone faster- but easily draws you in. Found the narrator to draw out the descriptors which sometimes was distracting to the story. Overall great story with many turns that will keep you guessing

It dragged on and on...it could have ended 6 hours sooner.

I was disappointed. The book was really predictable, plus I did not like Anna. It is hard to like a book when the person you are supposed to be rooting for is a ninny.

I wanted to love this book, but it turned out to be such a waste of time. The buildup was super slow and repetitive and I just expected so much more. Save your time and money.

I feel like I’m in the emperor’s new clothes. All these authors I love give this book such praise and as I’m reading I’m thinking this is like one of those cheesy romance noir books as every sentence had to have a flowery like the other used all the adjetives found in the learn a new word a day calendar.

Riveting from start to finish. Great plot and gorgeous prose. I love thrillers but usually figure things out very quickly. This one took a while! Also, kudos to the narrator- outstanding!

This book kept me intrigued. I enjoyed it.

Loved the pace of this book. Loved all of the references and quotes of old movies. A surprise until the end. Fun read!

It took a long time into the story to realize why the main character is so....pathetic. I felt impatient hearing every detail of her alcoholism, prescription drug addiction, and obsession with her neighbors' lives. I started noticing all the similes and metaphors used for description and that was distracting for me.

There were some parts that were too lengthy but overall I loved this book.

If you enjoy details about the tiniest thing, for instance the Sherwin Williams color name for a shade of paint in the bathroom this is for you. It will certainly put you to sleep. All I can think is hurry up and get to the story because after listening 2 hours I have every detail about the house the character lives in but when do I get to the story. The voice is monotonous for most of the time and can't tell when she's a different character because her voice doesn't change much. This is my free trial. If this is what I can look forward to I will cancel. I am a avid reader who thought this would be great in the car driving but I would rather listen to the am radio. I am thoroughly disappointed.

I usually only listen to books while on the road. This was the kind I couldn't stop listening to. I loved the twists and turns in characters. I was guessing until the very end. I definitely recommend and will look for other books by this author.

A long slog. Well written but in dire need of editing overall. Lengthy in sections that required minimal prose. Very predictable and I struggled to get 3/4s of the way through it (I finally abandoned at that point).

The book was slow & predictable with an unlikable protagonist.
