I struggle with domestic thrillers, and I’ve determined they aren’t really my thing. I couldn’t find purchase to relate to the characters and their lives in the story outside of the main plot of the murder. I would have loved less of the drama of the parents, and more around what happened with the murder.
We get so much of the drama surrounding the step-mother of Hannah (if I remember her name correctly), and her affair with a restaurant owner. There was so much wasted time of her pining over him and complaining about her husband and how horrible her life was. I would have rather have been given more of the lives of the kids who were involved in the murder.
Why aren’t they talking? What really happened? What exactly is the importance of all the fine details of their parents lives? Maybe it was all just lost on me, but this was not a favorite.
The audiobook narrator did a great job though!
