Review
Kiernan returns home hoping to expel his demons. Instead, a body is found on the beach and it brings back all his hidden secrets.
I am definitely in the minority on this one. I had a hard time with this read. I struggled to follow the narrator and to keep up with all the characters. The story was a slow burn and really did not grip me like I expected. That being said…the ending is worth getting there.
I did have trouble with the narrator’s accent. This usually doesn’t bother me. I just slow down the speed and I do pretty well. But for some reason, this was a hindrance for me.
I received this audiobook from the publisher for a honest review.
