The Bee Sting

Average rating4.2
Family drama at its best, especially in the first third of the book. Loses some of its propulsion as it goes (the financial difficulties which underpin the collapse of the family fade out of the picture after about 100 pages) and threatens at all times to get lost in the past. Still, capably instills a sense of authentic dread which most writing fails to do. Points for that.

I listened to this story as an audiobook on Audible, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. The narration was engaging, and the story kept me hooked throughout. However, I had seen reviews mentioning the disappointing ending, and unfortunately, I have to agree. It left me feeling dissatisfied.
