Customer Reviews

Couldn’t put it down!

Awesome book read it in just a few days, because I couldn’t put it down. The ending was awesome. Great story line throughout. So many twists and turns! Many times my jaw was just absolutely to the floor in shock! 10/10 recommend!

Great

Fast read and a good book.

Nicely eerie and twisty

What a twisty ride this is! After losing his wife and everything else, Grady is given one last chance by his literary agent, Kitty, to stay at the cabin she inherited on the tiny island of Amberley and try to write another book. This ends up being both a dream come true and a nightmare, which fits in this book of opposites and I definitely had fun listening to this audiobook which not only had a couple of great narrators (speaking Grady and Abby's parts) but also really well done sound effects to heighten the surroundings like the sounds of waves, church bells, and telephones and walkie talkies. I loved how it added to the story. So, yeah, very twisty and not all is as it seems on the island or whether Grady is really experiencing the odd stuff or if he is an unreliable narrator. It was a very good unraveling and the only think I will says is I am glad that nothing happened to Columbo! That ending gave me shivers! I think it would be nice to visit the island though and see all the cool landmarks, but only during tourist season! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the chance to listen to this audiobook and review it.
