About this listen
An upstanding political candidate. A determined stalker. A shattering lost weekend. Amid the clashes and intrigue of the campaign trail, to what lengths will the elegant, all-too-devoted wife of a seemingly incorruptible politician go in the name of love, loyalty, and ego?
From breakout Tiktok star Shanora Williams, a propulsive, sexy, rich-people-behaving-badly thriller for fans of Kellye Garrett, Sally Hepworth, Liv Constantine, Eliza Jane Brazier, and Tarryn Fisher.
For Jolene “Jo” Baker, the least she can do for her adoring husband, Dominic, is give unwavering support for his North Carolina gubernatorial run. He is not only the love of her life, he's also helping her prove that she's far more than just a pampered trophy wife. With huge crowds showing up at Dominic’s speeches and the polls consistently in his favor, she's never been happier to stand proudly by his side...
Until she and Dominic start seeing the same, strangely ominous woman turning up all along the campaign trail. Until their tour starts becoming a nightmare of botched events, crucial missed information, and increasingly dangerous “accidents.” Suddenly Jo can't get any answers from Dominic—or understand why he is acting so paranoid and terrified....
What Jo can do is start digging into his past—one she's never really questioned beyond his perfect image and dazzling accomplishments. What results is an alarming series of events that leave her baffled: Good friends turn into enemies, truths are revealed to be lies, and all clues lead back to one secret, shattering weekend that changes Jo’s entire life. With her world splintering into pieces, can Jo risk trying to set things right? Or will hiding the bitter truth by any means necessary destroy her as well?

This is the day my life changes forever. It started so normally. The alarm went at 7am. My husband made bacon and pancakes for me and our seven-year-old daughter, the kitchen full of chatter and laughter. He gave me a quick kiss, told me he loved me, grabbed his wallet, and rushed off to work. Just an ordinary day. Until I get the call from the school. It was Tom’s turn to pick up our daughter. He must be held up for some reason. I find Tom’s phone under our bed. Now I know there’s something seriously wrong. I scroll through his messages. A text sent late last night: I KNOW EVERYTHING.

That is until the fighter finds himself jabbing into her life.

Story
When the body of reality TV star Desiree Pierce is found on a playground in the Bronx the morning after her twenty-fifth birthday party, the police and the media are quick to declare her death an overdose. A tragedy, certainly, but not a crime. Yet Columbia grad student Lena—principled, headstrong, and allergic to the spotlight—knows that can’t be the case. Despite the bitter truth that the two hadn’t spoken in two years, they were half-sisters. Lena knew Desiree. And Desiree would never travel above 125th Street. Something is very wrong with the facts. So why is no one listening?

kept my interest
This was my 4th book by this author. overall, I think she does good with suspense. I like how she gets straight to the point. She don't waste your time with fluff.
Now the bad; narrator. specifically, the female. She paused in weird places and didn't annunciate to capture the emotions of the women characters.

Full of twists & turns
I read my first Shanora Williams book last year and I was hooked. She has a great (although twisted :) at times) mind. This political thriller was filled with twists and turns. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time and just when I thought I knew what was going on…bam another twist. Definitely can’t wait for her upcoming releases.

Love her thrillers!
Love the thrillers by Shenora. The 3 in the plus catalog have made me purchase the other. The female narrator has a very weird cadence to her reading. often distracting. But the story is worth tolerating it. I hope the thrillers keep coming!!

The narrators
Unfortunately the narrators were not very good. Too much pausing between words or phrases. It didn't flow.

Great Story!
The story was great, Very heartwarming portraying the love of friends during such a traumatic time in their lives. The male narrator was great, the female narrator had a great voice but pauses between words in the middle of the sentence and that got annoying. I had to increase the speed a little when she was talking to keep it from being so annoying.

Good story...bad narrator
I struggled to get through the book, not because of the storyline. The story itself was quite satisfying however, the narration was so distracting because her cadence was delayed. Anyway, read the book yourself...you'll be much more satisfied.

Gripping
Let me first start by saying that I really enjoy Shanora's thriller/ mystery books. The story was gripping and held my attention. Secondly, as a 95% audie this is the second book that I've listened to and been 100% disappointed in the narration. The characters in the story were read with such lack of emotion, artificial and enunciated in weird ways that it seemed like it was AI. The only reason why I continued to listen is because I used an audible credit to get the book. I will continue to read and support SW and her books but likely will no longer listen to them.
