‘The final double twist is well worth waiting for’ My Weekly

‘Hooks you in to the drama straight away’ The Sun

Every marriage has its secrets…

Beth and Tom Hardcastle are the envy of their neighbourhood – they have the perfect marriage, the perfect house, the perfect family.

When the police knock on their door one evening, Beth panics. Tom should be back from work by now – what if he’s crashed his car? She fears the worst.

But the worst is beyond imagining.

As the interrogation begins, Beth will find herself questioning everything she believed about her husband.

They’re saying he’s a monster. And they’re saying she knew.

I like the story, and I did like both narrators, but the female one got on my nerves a bit. There were a bunch of unnecessary pauses that went on WAY too long, stumbling of words, and too much saliva sounds. Many times I thought something happened, and the recording stopped because of the pauses, and when it came to the saliva sounds, it’s was almost like she had just eaten something and was still clearing it out of her teeth, or needed a drink. It’s hard to explain, but it was SO distracting. I was surprised that the few stumbling of words, or even the bad flow of the sentence wasn’t edited out and redone. Again, I didn’t mind the story, and she wasn’t the worst narrator, but definitely not the best.

Just ok..

it was OK. sad I used a credit. feels like it belongs more in the audible plus library. would have been a little more satisfied if it was included vs. using a credit. performance was amazing, she nailed emotions.

good, but I felt a little predictable

I’m pretty picky about thrillers, so i don’t write reviews unless I was obsessed. The story had a good pace, hints were dropped along the way but nothing too obvious. Would recommend it

Narration, plot, and characters: A+

The female narrator was no good. she smacks her words at the end and it was so distracting and gave me so much anxiety. I'm not really into the story. so far I feel like it was a wasted credit.

Don't know if I can finish it.

Listened to the whole book despite the narrator’s slurping and cringe-worthy accents. Story-line hooked me!
