I spent some glorious hours listening to it narrated by one of the best Swedish narrators ever, Gunilla Leining. I'm fortunate that I can listen to books at work. Anyhow, the book is great, I love reading crime novels set on islands with a lot of suspects and no one is trustworthy. I think this book is one of the best in the series and I'm looking forward to finding out what will happen next for Jessica. ...more
I usually enjoy Heather Webber's books quite a lot but with this one I struggled a bit. It's strange because it did have everything I usually enjoy.

The story was good, just not top-notch, especially in comparison to other books in this series. I enjoyed the story, but I found myself not totally immersed in it. Still, it was a pretty decent thriller with good twists.
I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review! ...more
DNF at 24%. This is pure crap, storyline, dialogue and characters. Especially the characters. Honestly I should have stopped right at the start when TDNF at 24%. This is pure crap, storyline, dialogue and characters. Especially the characters. Honestly I should have stopped right at the start when Todd, that little creep, was introduced into the story. I listened to the audio version and I felt myself more and more annoying so no I'm not finishing this book....more
