Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

What disappointed you about Summit Lake? A reporter is brutally raped and beaten and a month later her "thinks of her like a daughter" boss sends her for R&R to cover a case where someone was brutally raped, beaten and died. Makes no sense. Then everyone in this small town meets her and wants to tell her everything, including the sheriff who gives her all his notes on the case. Really? Just too far-fetched of a story. What was most disappointing about Charlie Donlea’s story? The state police cannot get answers from anyone and a reporter solves the case. She has been beaten and raped and then goes off alone with a man she has just met. There are just far too many conveniences for this to be anywhere near realistic. How could the performance have been better? (refers to the audio version) Another narrator. Shannon McManus has recorded quite a few books, but this one is an absolute mess. Her inflection is completely wrong. Her voice goes up at the end of most sentences, the way it should when asking a question. She has no grasp of cadence in moving from one sentence to another. Thank goodness I only paid $2.95 for it! If I had paid more, I would be sick over it.
