Reviews
Four stars for the story, but...
KAB
The story was interesting enough to keep me listening anyway, but Kilmer's reading was just weird, with innumerable & ackwardly-placed pauses and a bizarre cadence.
refreshing mystery!
Ana
wonderfully written and very well read. Almost had me rooting for the bad guy :)
Just the right complexity
This is an enjoyable mystery, with a good number of plot twists, but not so many that you can't keep track of all the characters or the story. I can't say I was entirely surprised by all of them, but it wasn't so predictable as to be boring either. Overall, a competent storytelling that does not demand too much from the reader.

Until the final sentence I still was not sure who was real and who was not. You will surely enjoy this one. Thanks to RK for another fine read.
a good mystery
issam Boukerch
a little heavy at the beginning but after the death of two men it become attractive, the reader is good and I like him but a bit monotone
Another fantastic original mystery story.

Having read the book, I thought listening to it would be good be

things. But while Richard Kilmer voice has a pleasant pitch he reads in phrases, dropping his voice in the middle of a sentence where there is no period, pauses where there is no comma. And paced at a beat that makes me want to tell him he needs a voice coach. I won't listen to another book he records
