The story was okay, but the narrator should know how to pronounce words like Connecticut (referenced throughout) and Patron (tequila) prior to recording. Also, this series is based in the U.S., primarily Connecticut, where we don't refer to every female as Mum.

Meet Jessica Jones: retired superhero, private investigator, loner. She tried her best to be a shiny spandex crimefighter, but that life only led to unspeakable trauma. Now she avoids that world altogether and works on surviving day-to-day in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. The morning a distraught mother comes into her office, Jessica would prefer to nurse her hangover and try to forget last night’s poor choices. But something about Amber Randall’s story strikes a chord with her. Amber is adamant that something happened to her teenage twins while they were visiting their father in the UK.

They were madly in love. The perfect couple. That was the story everyone in South River believed...until Gin Talcott and Adam Archer are found shot in their bed. Adam is dead at the scene. Gin is fighting for her life. Detectives Greta Jessup and Finn Pate are assigned to the case. Greta has a long history with Gin’s first husband, Eddie, and is determined to protect his 18-year-old twins. Piper discovered the bodies. Daniel is missing—and so is Adam’s gun.

It took too long to get into it. Replayed much of the beginning because the story didn't grab me so I was easily distracted. It was okay. I'm glad I didn't pay for it!

Not At All Interesting
Reviewed: 04-30-24
I really tried to get into it, but finally gave up. So much for being a "gripping psychological thriller"!
The narration was flat and the story was too laden with the intricacies of the main character's role.

Annoying Narration
Reviewed: 04-19-24
If you are going to tell a story about an actual place, you should use the correct pronunciations. It's EdIna, not EdEEna. Also, why make the children sound so sassy when they talk to their mom? Not all children behave badly.

No Big Surprise
Reviewed: 11-19-23
The story kept me engaged to see where it would go, but I was underwhelmed. It was hyped as being filled with twists and turns, but I felt like I saw each one coming from a mile away. I’ve listened to other mystery novels that actually elicit a gasp at surprise ending. If that’s what you’re looking for, this isn’t it.

Katie Kuhlmann’s marriage is falling apart. But she has a secure job, her children are healthy, and her house, a new construction in the prestigious Country Club neighborhood of Edina, Minnesota, is beautiful. She can almost ignore the way her husband, Jack, has been acting—constantly checking his phone, not going to work, disappearing from the house only to show up again without explanation. Tension in the Kuhlmann house only gets worse when Adam “Bagman” Ross, a mutual friend from college, happens to be in the neighborhood and in need of a place to stay.

Another Compelling Tale
Reviewed: 09-27-23
I have enjoyed all of the books by this author so far. I have lived in Edina for decades so it’s fun to hear so many of the places I know quite well included! There are some twists and turns in this story, but the ending shouldn’t surprise you.
Matt Goldman is a wonderful storyteller although I don’t always like the narration. Looking forward to the next one already!

Somewhat Biased Review
Reviewed: 07-27-23
I chose this book because it sounded like an interesting story, but I was also intrigued because I live in the bubble (Edina). The author clearly knows his way around my town and the surrounding ‘burbs! I have been everywhere mentioned in this book other than the Edina jail. I drive past it all the time, though, so I know he described it perfectly. I really enjoyed the story and the narrator kept me engaged, but every reference to places I know so well, brought a big smile to my face! It was the perfect introduction to this author and I’m already looking forward to listening to his next book!

I’m glad Annie ultimately made the decisions she did. And I’m glad I was wrong about how this would end. Griffin watching Roman Holiday made me think I’d be crying at the end! The narration was a little annoying, but I liked the story!
