About this listen
I might be a grandmother. But I’m not some sweet, harmless old lady who people can push around.
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince.
They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by.
I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.
Now he wants his daughters back.
Over my dead body.
I finally have a family of my own. And nobody is going to take it away from me.

Great story….until the end
If you like stories that leave you feeling uncomfortable, and do t care for a tidy ending where loose ends are tied off, you’ll enjoy this one.
I actually really liked the story all along and found the twists and turns compelling until the end when it felt like the author just slapped on a twist from left field which was wholly unsatisfying.
Perhaps there is a sequel I don't know about in which case the cliff-hanger ending would be forgivable….maybe?

A real surprise listen
Sometimes I take a chance and pick a book from the Plus list when I’m between credits. This was a great find. I couldn’t figure out who of the characters I liked and cheered for. So many twists. Now I’ll look for more from this author. Happy to use credits in future.

Intriguing Story/Plot
Really enjoyed this suspenseful story. I was captivated with each character’s development. Plot kept me engaged as I wondered how the story would end. The narration was well done too.

Great characters and twists
This was entertaining and took me through a journey as I started by liking certain characters and hating others. Enough complexity to keep it interesting. Good twists and turns. Narrators were great and I didn't notice them really, just focused on the story.

I love all the plot twists!
I loved the voice actor for the grand mother, but the voice actor for the father fit the father well but not any of the other characters. I didn't feel like there was a good conclusion and it ended on a cliff hanger. The story reminded me a lot of the story; the Grimm Sisters but much darker which I quite enjoy, the thing that mainly reminded me of the Grimm sisters was the fact was the girls and their relationship with eachother and with their grandmother.
For parents who are wondering this was written by an eleven year old.

Not bad
It's an interesting story but all I can think at the end is that poor poor family.
There are some decent plot twists. The ending needs a little more to fill out the last twist.

Irritating
Terrible storyline. However, the narrators did a good job portraying the characters. Wish I'd skipped.
