Summary

‘DARK AND TWISTY’ Riley Sager

‘LOVED EVERY MINUTE’ Joshilyn Jackson

You’ll never find her. Don’t even try.

When a local mother and her six-year-old daughter, Delilah, suddenly vanish, their close-knit suburban community is rocked by fear and suspicion. How could such a terrible thing have happened in their small town?

Then, eleven years later, Delilah shockingly reappears. Everyone wants to know what really happened to her. But there are secrets hidden deep in the past – and when the truth about those missing years begins to surface, no one is prepared for what they’re about to find out.

The story line was good. What spoiled it was Meredith’s voice was very over dramatic to your ears mainly if you are relaxing at night

Good story

Clever plotting kept the momentum until the last 30 minutes or so but the ending was a bit lame. The female narrator’s voice grated with its hysterical tone.

Plot twists a plenty

Fantastic “who did it” with a very clever ending. Couldn’t put it down once I started!

Excellent

The overall story isn't bad; it has a lot of twists, but I found it to be overdramatized. At times, it felt like listening to a telenovela, with all the excessive drama and silly thoughts. The portrayal of women is mainly as brainless dolls, which was quite frustrating. Meredith, in particular, was annoying, and I'm not sure if it was the performer's fault or just the character itself. I wonder if I would have found it equally annoying if I had read the book instead of listening to it.

Overdramatized

I liked the story and the many povs were interesting. However, the ending seemed like it had been stuck on by the writer when she realised her deadline was looming and she had to tie up the loose ends.

Would have been 5/5 if not for the ending
