Highly suspenseful. The audiobook was extremely well narrated by Catherine McCarron. I hope she does the next book too. I want to read Death's Sister, but it's been difficult finding a copy to purchase ([...] ), audio or otherwise.

Great job Ms. Anderson. Please keep it up!

Not sure if it's just me, but I thought this book had a pathetic ending. So bad, in fact, that I re-read the last few chapters several times, in case I had just misunderstood. Alas, such was not the case. The last chapter provides a "surprise" ending which is poor and predictable.

While there are some very melodramatic moments in this novel, it is all in all, one of the best thrillers I have read this year. There might be a little trouble with following the complexities of Scots legal partnerships but I thought the author did a fair job at clarifying the essential points.

The heroine is likeable and brave, the book is fast paced and engaging. More than one character in this novel is "mad as a box of frogs"-- a great phrase. I can hardly wait to read the upcoming sequel.

I've just finished reading the novel. The protagonist is unrelievedly nasty & ugly; it's hard to find the smallest sympathy for her--which is necessary in a plot with a Damsel in Distress. The plot itself is highly melodramatic, sensational, and confusing. The SURPRISE ending might have come from some other novel since it has no logical connection with the plot. But, yes, it IS a surprise--in stupidity. Many loose ends none of them tied up.

I hope the writer quits with this one novel. I'll never read anything she writes again.

I listened to this page-turner on Audible.com, and it was such a great listen. And that narrator, Cathleen McCarron - perfect! Louise, when will we get more of this Erin Paterson?
