Who to Believe
by
We all know that the TRUTH lies somewhere between HIS version, and HER version.
So what about when we have SEVEN versions of the truth?
WHO DO WE BELIEVE?!
Laurel Thibodeau was found brutally murdered in her own home-asphyxiated with a plastic bag.
Foul Play is suspected so naturally the suspicion falls on Laurel’s husband, Simon, who had gambling debts that only her life insurance policy could fix.
But there are other rumors too . . .
The group of six friends gathered for Alice Stone’s fortieth birthday, all have theories-and something to hide.
And before this party draws to a close, one of these six will also be dead as motives of jealousy, revenge, adultery, and greed are all revealed.
The question becomes not who in this group might be capable of murder, but, rather, WHO ISN'T?
The Shrink, the Patient, The Cop, The Boyfriend, The Daughter, the Minister and even the DOG, will all share their version of the truth, one POV at a time.
I enjoyed listening for the subtle (and not so subtle) differences as we hear their recollections, but of course that does lead to some repetition, which some readers or listeners may not enjoy, especially when this Audible clocks in at 13 hours and 45 minutes at regular speed!
But, the FULL CAST of narrators kept me intrigued and I found my first book by Edwin Hill, quite entertaining!
3.75 stars ⭐️ rounded up!

I think I would have liked this more as an audiobook because the number of POVs was overwhelming ...

I have a feeling this one would be better as an Audiobook-especially since each character was voiced by someone different!

Wonderful review, Jayme, I love audiobooks that make things a "production" in a good way. Oh, and don't forget to have some ratatouille 😂

A nice mix of characters, that! But my eye is twitching at the 'Who' in the title. I'm a traditionalist in grammar so this usage triggers the hidden grammar Nazi. :D
Glad the full cast narration saved the book somewhat. Great review, Jayme! ❤️
