A sort of cold case story
The story keeps you guessing howeverJuanita McMahon reads beautifully; very important for an audio book. This is my first Sarah Ward. I shall try another at some point.

Loved this!
This had me gripped from start to finish. Juanita McMahon is easily the best narrator I've heard. I look forward to hearing another.

A good listen
This book has a good story line and holds your interest throughout. Very well narrated. This was a new author for me and has defiantly sparked my interest to listen to more of her books.

Very good
This was very good, there were a lot of twists and turns, and every time the police found something new, I tried to guess what the end would be, and I was always wrong. Well written, and very good listening

Okay, nothing special.
Pretty standard English procedural, nothing particularly new, the characters didn't behave or speak like real people and it became a struggle to finish. The final resolution wasn't particularly gripping or surprising.

Well narrated but too confusing.
Any additional comments?
My first comment would be that for a book that is about family trees and a researcher of such one would assume that the editor or proof readers would know that the study of such is geneAlogy - not geneOlogy. Ooooh! How it made me grit my teeth every time I heard it. Again, as the book was based around family trees, there were too many names to remember and it could be confusing. Nevertheless the story was a good one .

Not a bad story!
The book was good. However, what I found irritating was the pronunciation of Mair. Juanita should have taken advice on how to say the name from a welsh speaker. It annoyed me all through the story and was distracting. It is pronounced as ‘My rr’ and not as ‘M air’

An interesting read although I wasn’t gripped by the characters
An interesting read although I was not gripped by the characters. Some good twists and turns.

Good Story, but Tough to Stick With!
I really tried with this audiobook, but I found it surprisingly difficult to keep up with it. The story is good and well written. There are two time periods. Nothing unusual there. There are a lot of characters though. I found my mind drifting away and I repeatedly felt that I did not know what was happening. I actually restarted it after a number of chapters. Later, I found myself spinning back a couple of chapters on several occasions. I think it would perhaps work for me with headphones and nothing distracting me, but I couldn’t make it work listening whilst driving or baking, as I can with other books.
