The storyline for this book was rather interesting. Its quite a short mystery book. I listened to the audiobook and enjoyed the narrators voice. However, I did struggle when she was reading the males voices. As it didn't sound much different from her voice I lost track of who was talking and started get a little confused. This lead to me not being fully connected with the characters. I felt we need a bit more background or descriptions of the characters to feel a better connection. Im not entirely sure if I lost my attention due to the narrator or that the book just wasn't to my tastes. I just didn't feel the flow of the book at all. But please remember I am just one person if you are a mystery fan then give it a go, try a sample of it first. I just needed a little more attention to detail, atmosphere and tension to give the extra stars. Im still glad I read it as I did enjoy the storyline and I was intrigued enough to finish the book.
Thanks to the author and publishers for creating this book and allowing me to read and review it for you all.

Honestly, I'm still collecting my thoughts on this as I write this review. The premise of all this family drama wrapped up in a old manor house turned bed and breakfast and murders starting up was immensely intriguing. There are portions I didn't think really meshed well with the rest of the book and the plot lost me at some points. I listened to the audiobook version of this and despite the fact that I loved the narrator, I got lost between chapters at times. I didn't necessarily understand why the author chose to repeat word for word the first "chapter" later in the climax of the book. I felt like it would have made more sense to give a glimpse of that chapter at the beginning and then all the details as they unfolded. It just felt like a huge chunk of text we'd already experienced as the reader. I will also say that I'm still not 100% sure why the killer called themselves "Passerby." I do wish that that was explained at some point.

In any case this was a very entertaining audiobook and the twist came out of no where. The utter betrayal of it all is mind-numbing. I thought I had everything figured out and I was wrong, which doesn't happen often. I do think going in mostly blind is the way to read this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and OrangeSkye Audio for the audiobook copy!

Passerby was a quick, low key funny, fast paced thriller. The narration was great and certain parts made me chuckle. ⁣

There were definitely some twists I didn’t see coming. I think Kill Sleep Repeat is still probably my favorite book by Britney King but she never disappoints and always gives us some twists, bad ass women, some sex and seduction and women using their looks and brains to get their way.⁣
⁣
Ruth runs her family’s bed and breakfast and guests are disappearing and dropping like flies. She gets almost run off the road twice. Her brother is being shady and so is his new girlfriend. You have separate chapters of the killer disguised and don’t find out who til the end. ⁣

Thank you for the gifted audiobook!!

Wow. Fun. I don't know what I expected from this book but what I got wasn't it! For the first time in a long long time, I was surprised by the ending! Will definitely read more by this author.

It’s more ⭐️⭐️.9 could be a ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me

I was able to get an advanced copy of the audiobook thank you to the Publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to the audiobook for my review.

Novel-
This was a very interesting book. I’m really finding myself getting into thrillers and I found this book to be exciting and yet quite confusing. Absolutely and 30% of the book I did not know what was going on. I wasn’t able to piece two into together until finally I really listened to what was going on. A lot of characters names were thrown around and did not make sense to me nor did I feel like storylines were needed. But once things started to piece together it did make sense.

I found the story to be a bit intriguing and it became fun and exciting to try to figure out what was really going. I felt that no one was really doing stupid things which was very good, I hate when characters make really stupid mistakes. I had such a fun time reading about Ashley, Cole and Ruth. I enjoyed everyone in this book.

I did feel like the timeline jumping from past and present was a bit All over the place. I would say that the author needed to let us know that it could have been two days prior or two months ago in order for you to really understand that they are talking about the past and not the present.

I really wanted to enjoy this book but I did find that by the end of the story I caught myself very confused, I think it was an expectation that since Ruth seem to have figured out everything and then plan for certain things to work out and it looks like it worked but we never got an explanation of how she figured out things who did what it was left almost open ended which made this book not a three star for me. I thought the epilogue would’ve explained everything but it really did it.


audiobook-
I thought the narrator was very good. I liked when she voiced Ashlee and Ruth‘s character, but I did have issues when she voiced the male characters. It really was not my favorite. At some point I could not tail between whether it was a male or female talking. And I felt like the male voices were very cheesy. Other than that I thought the narration was really good. I enjoyed hearing her sarcastic voice and when she would voice frustration, Irritation, fear, concern all of those emotions I felt the narrator did fantastic

Conclusion-
Overall I thought this book was a nice introduction to Britney King for me , I enjoyed the book and I look forward to reading more from this author. This book is a fast read, The audiobook was also a quick listen and I think a lot of people will enjoy this book, unfortunately for me I was a bit more confused they I would care to be.

Thank you to OrangeSky, Britney King and NetGalley for opportunity to listen to the audiobook in exchange for my honest opinion.
