Summary
The author of the wildly popular The Kind Worth Killing returns with an electrifying and downright Hitchcockian psychological thriller—as tantalizing as the cinema classics Rear Window and Wait Until Dark—involving a young woman caught in a vise of voyeurism, betrayal, manipulation, and murder.
I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook! I also adored The King Worth Killing. I completely agree with what other people have said in their reviews. The beginning of the book was incredibly captivating, but the ending felt repetitive and underwhelming.
I only write reviews if they're positive, but I have to break that rule for this novel. It was so poorly planned and executed that I can't hold back from explaining why I wouldn't recommend it.
It seems like the author either doesn't understand how people behave or thinks the readers are gullible. The narrator's voice is flat and boring, lacking any variation. The characters' actions are so unbelievable that it's hard to believe this is meant to be a thrilling suspense novel.
This book had such a promising start. The concept was fantastic and I really enjoyed how the author alternates between different perspectives, just like in The Kind Worth Killing, which I also loved. However, as the story progressed, I became increasingly frustrated with how the events were repeated over and over again. It felt like the author was simply dragging things out unnecessarily, perhaps just to fill up the pages. And to make matters worse, there was a whole chapter dedicated to the police officer's point of view. Honestly, I didn't care about that character at all, and her fixation on the Boston Celtics did nothing to pique my interest. The prolonged ending, after all the suspense, left me expecting something intriguing to happen, but unfortunately, it never did. The excessive description of the protagonist's ferry ride, her walk back to the apartment, and her encounter with the creepy individual felt completely unnecessary. Needless to say, I was incredibly let down.
Save your cash. I had to crank up the speed to 1:10 and still, it was a battle to get through this book. The conclusion was ridiculously easy to foresee. Massive letdown.
The author seemed to have this weird need to excessively clarify everything, causing us to be bombarded with repeated details. It made it quite challenging to muster up the desire to complete this novel, especially since it was also quite foreseeable. Don't waste your hard-earned cash!
In most thrillers, it's common for the cat to meet a terrible fate. However, it was a nice change to see that the cat character in this story probably made it out alive. While I found the story to be enjoyable, it was a bit far-fetched. Unfortunately, the narration was not to my liking. Ms. Kaminsky had a peculiar habit of starting her sentences with a high-pitched screech that gradually faded by the end. I couldn't find any explanation for this, but personally, I found it quite off-putting and distracting. Aside from that, I didn't have any major issues with the audiobook. I would still recommend it.
After relieving herself, she proceeded to clean her teeth...
She indulged in a chunk of sourdough bread slathered with a mixture of butter and honey...
Taking a shower at some stage today would be advantageous...
Even the psychopathic killers prove to be uninteresting. The depiction of the murder scenes lacks excitement.
Honestly, I felt like it would go on forever. The only redeeming aspect is the narrator. It's a mystery how she managed to stay awake while reading this book.
Damn, can you believe people actually willingly dive into this gruesome celebration of murder?! It's messed up that there's a whole market for this kind of stuff. Why not pick up a classic instead, you know? This is just sickening. I can't even bring myself to finish it.
