a hidden gem

I enjoyed this book a lot more than I was expecting to.The characters came to life through the dialogue and I found myself totally absorbed in the characters lives.

The art of manipulation

Laura is some piece of work although unfortunately narrated by whisper voiced Elizabeth Knoweldon. (I really must avoid books with her as the authors main voice) Despite this, the novel draws you in, even though the main character of Laura is a woman with a very dark past and an even darker present and there is nothing to like about her. She persuades those who call her company's help line to commit suicide so that she can hear their last breath. When something goes wrong with one of her 'subjects' she will do anything she can to escape retribution and her manipulation of all those around her (including her family) goes into overdrive. I have difficulty in saying that I enjoyed this book but I did want to know how it ended so persevered through the mayhem. In my opinion, not up there with the best of Mr Marrs novels but might suit you better.

Wow!

A little slow to start... but then OMG! I was absolutely hooked! The cat and mouse game was amazing. I could easily see this adapted into a movie. I was actually late for work one day because I couldn’t stop listening!!!!! So many twists and turns - I did not see the ending coming! I cannot recommend this book enough. The only minor issues were Stephens narration/accent sometimes bordered on ‘hammy’ but the story completely over-rides everything. Also it does cover quite dark themes of suicide so best avoided if sensitive to the issue. I will definitely be reading more books by this author.

Ok then, who's up for a dark, twisted thriller??

**Holds hand up**

"Good afternoon, you've reached the End of the Line, this is Laura speaking. May I ask your name?"


Laura is a soft spoken woman, she will listen to you as you discuss your problems, you will discuss what is making you feel so sad, and of course you wouldn't be calling the End of the Line helpline, if you wasn't contemplating ending your own life.

She will not try and talk you out of committing suicide, or tell you that there are better things, no, she is just there to listen to you, and not judge.

Laura is a very well liked colleague in the office, always bringing in her gorgeous hand-baked goods, she keeps herself to herself, and doesn't mix much, but she always gets involved with charitable volunteering, and always raises lots of money for good causes.

What the people she works with don't see, is that actually Laura is Bat-Sh*t-Crazy!

If you are feeling that you are loosing your way and are contemplating ending your life, the worst possible person that you could get through to in the call centre would be Laura!

You see, Laura likes the fact that you want to end your life, in fact, she's banking on it!

Ryan doesn't know why his pregnant girlfriend would kill herself, and who was the man she was seen holding hands with before they both jumped? he can't understand why she would want to do this to him and their unborn child, perhaps he needs to do a little investigating?

A cracking thriller to keep you on your toes, with a Good Ol' baddie you'll hate-to-love-to-hate.

🎧🎧 – Narrated expertly by Elizabeth Knowelden, who is a new to me narrator.

Elizabeth’s voice was perfect for Laura and she made this fantastic read even better.

Buckle yourself in, it's a bumpy ride

How disappointing!!

Really enjoyed listening to this. But what a disappointing ending. Feeling very dissatisfied. Almost like the author ran out of time.

What a story ,certainly not predictable

The main character was deeply flawed and a really interesting plot to follow. Really well done and admired her planning and organisation. Deeply sad in so many ways as well. Do read.
