I got this book as one of the free VIP reads so I didn’t expect much, but it is was very good - well written with a good mystery that kept you guessing.

Very ominous and well written, an excellent read! The narrator did a superb job, though I wish there had been longer pauses between character switching. Otherwise, the twisted concept was a disturbing but refreshing new plot that kept me intrigued and captivated. Best thriller I’ve listened to in months!

So I really loved the story. But the fact that there were no chapter breaks killed me.

Loved it and looking forward to the next

Very well written and good storyline. I thought the narrator was great, as well.

I really liked it and looked for more from this author.

I really enjoyed this book and would have given it 5 stars except for the last few minutes when the reader is left wondering what will happen next. The narrator was wonderful and I will be looking for more books he narrates.

Great book. Unbelievable how the twisted minds work

It was a good storyline, however, there are no chapters so the entire story is like one giant run-on sentence. The transition from character or scene all ran together, so you really had to be paying attention to follow who and what they were talking about at all times. The narrator did a good job and overall was worth a listen.

It was a decent book, good story. Though, the random switch to separate characters wasn’t all that great to keep up with.

I got this as a VIP bonus but was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the story and the narrator. Well worth a credit.

I really enjoyed this book, and having been to the city where it’s set, was able to imagine the areas and this added to the story

Enjoyed the book

clear story line, easy to follow, and very enjoyable

Great stuff

I got this book as a freebie so I had no expectations. It was good, not great but good.

A great and somewhat gruesome crime thriller. The characters are well explored and storyline is great. Narration is great also

Really good listening! Kept me wanting to know more so I listened to this book the fastest I've ever done!

The story was interesting, but I felt the ending dragged on a bit too much.

great book. slow at first with a very fast ending

I grabbed this at random. Quite often this way of choosing a book can burn you!! I was more than surprised. The development and initially slow development of characters picked up in pace but went just slow enough to keep you yearning for more! The writers sly deception slowly casting suspicion on several characters kept me guessing start to finish. And child murder based on kids tales was something out of Sherlock Holmes! Excellent

Excellent story and narration kept me gripped throughout. Scandi-noir has never been on my radar but this might change for me.

I stopped, listening to this book halfway through because the gratuitous violence was ridiculous. And they went into graphic detail, describing how these young girls were tortured, and the horrible deaths they suffered, and I just can’t take it especially when it’s kids. I listen to a lot of murder mysteries, but this was just unnecessary over the top violence. And I couldn’t help but thinking this story could be giving some psycho that’s out there some new ideas! I pretty much hated it for that reason

Well written, kept me interested and looking forward to what comes next. I loved it.

Sometimes the story was hard to follow because without warning or chapter breaks, you'd go from Dina's story to Tom's, or something similar. Needs to be broken up better. Aside from that, the narrators was absolutely amazing and the story was really good. Sad and difficult to listen to, especially as a parent, but really well written. 1

I really enjoyed this book. kept me guessing for once.

An engaging novel, marred only by a few "It was only a dream" scenes and a concluding hour of verbiage that this listener breezed through at 2x speed. Once the reveal is made—in this case the murderer's identity uncovered—novelists must be quick, quick like bunnies to end their stories because the question that intrigued the listener—whodunnit?—has been resolved. This novel demanded a two-minute epilogue at best.

did not like the narrator, but a good story that keeps you guessing the whole time

Wonderfully written, keeps you getting until the end.

Great mystery that turns at all the right moments. Narrator did well at feeling the story, but does have some awkward pausing. Highly recommended.

Well-written book- it kept me guessing on who was the killer (s). The narrator was great!! 4 stars because it jumped between narratives abruptly so sometimes it got a little confusing which storyline I was following. Other than that, I really like this book!

Really great story! The characters are really strong and just the right amount of gore. Can we have another in this series please!! Keeps you guessing with a few twists and turns!

Great story really good narrator. Hoping for a sequel

Held me spellbound, trying to guess the killers name.

The book is quite good. It ends with a little cliffhanger as it was planned as the first in the series. The next book will most likely never happen because the authors split up. Please be aware that it might contain some triggers, for instance torture of children.

A fantastic crime story. I liked it very much.

Excellent read

Pretty good read. Kept me guessing.

Brilliant authors. This story is not for the weak of stomach. I was enthralled all the way through. So wished there were more by Sanne and Brian. Narrator is excellent.

It was interesting, and not bad for a VIP read, but towards the end the plot felt a bit forced and contrived. I also wish there had been longer pauses in narration when the point of view switched from one character to another.

Beautiful story
