great reader & great book
jaded_grl
i wasn't going to read this one because it it SO short, but i am glad i did! the shortness of it does not take away from how detailed it was or how interesting. a thrilling tale of wondering what will happen next. PAY ATTENTION to names, or you may have to listen to it twice to know who HE ends up being.

Mr mother recently had a serious stroke so concentrating on reading has been difficult for her she is on the mend now so I decided to download librivox and so I asked her what genre she wanted murder mystery was her reply so I went for something short to start with she loved the story and enjoyed the reader just like to thank all librivox readers for the great job they do

I had to know how it would end right from the start.
Not a Grey Tale
Meg Riley
This story is beautifully written with just enough detail to allow your mind to paint a picture book of the suspensful tale. Sympathy and even fear may overtake you through the travels and circumstance of the grey woman. Each portion brings new excitement, even to the last few words.
Misleading Summary but all Else is Great!

Gripping and frightening, this is a very good book. Just so you know, the summary is misleading. I thought this book was going to be about a serial killer husband but that is not the case! The narrator is perfect for this story.
TITLE IS FINE

Enjoyed the content. Can think of more comforting stories to listen to after the lights are out. Would have preferred an English voice reading this book and for it to be read more slowly.
Terrific!

This story is a dark dipiction of damsels in distress, who must do the unimaginable to save themselves and become heroines. The sympathetic reading, heightens the suspense. An "English accent" may have lent "atmosphere", but the author was known for her understanding of the human condition, which is perhaps why the reader's accent does the work with justice.
Real Suspense

Remember the character names like the other reviewer warned. At the end I asked who the #&@% that guy was! I had to play it again to understand. You'll just need to replay most of the 1st portion. The story kept me very interested so I wouldn't have minded hearing again.
