First half really dragged, and moved back and forth between two time periods so quickly that it was hard to become engaged with either narrative. I almost stopped listening but the second half picked up a bit

Predictable ending

Nothing

No

Into the Darkest Corner was suspenseful...a little difficult to follow to being with...think it would have been easier in print format...I did not pay attention at first to the dates and years too closely, until I figured out half the story was told in flashback. (only took a couple dates to figure this out--) It jumps around a lot and once you get that it makes sense.

...my biggest gripe is that it just ends...not like a normal audible book..."Audible hopes you have enjoyed this book"....it seems like we are missing a line or two...I actually went back to make sure there was not a part three...and checked to make sure my device loaded everything correctly. After 14 hours of listening the end just fell flat--nothing was left unsaid or unresolved within the story line mind you... I was just expecting a conclusion--there is narration thru the last second and then nothing.

I was very engaged in the beginning and could not wait to listen to more. By the end I thought that it just kept replaying the same thing over and over and it started to fall flat.

I would not have a problem recommending this book to mystery and thriller fans, I run more along the scifi genre and I would not recommend it to someone who favors that flavor of novel.

Very realistic and a great reader. Sometimes getting so thoroughly into someone else's head is just as tedious as being in my own though :-)

This book was extremely slow.

Yes

The story line was slow and repetitive. I can only check the windows and door some many times. I had to put the book down after 7 hours which I hated to do because I spent good money for a good audible. That was after I jumped entire chapters before I gave up.

What a thrilling and spine-tingling ride! The narrator is perfect, expressing all the emotions, fears and resulting Obsessive Compulsive behaviors of Cathy as she tries to recover from the extreme, near death treatment she has suffered from her tormentor and stalker.

The story builds and little by little the full extent of the horror Cathy endured is teased out for the listener.

This story kept me wanting more every minute!

Yes I would as I can listen to the story whilst doing other things. The reader was excellent and managed to capture the intensity of the story.

The explanation of the panic the main character experienced. Very realistically told.

I'm not into violence but the description of the scene where Lee was beating her up made my blood run cold and made me realise this actually happens to some poor females.

Only one of panic for Kathy to get away from Ian.

If you liked the movie Sleeping With The Enemy, I believe you will like this book. It is a spine chilling psychological thriller that kept me awake at night and had me checking the door locks. Although some reviewers found the switching between two time periods confusing, I believe Elizabeth Haynes handles the movement between past and present well. The suspense in each period adds to the other, resulting in a story of rising tension. This book is well researched and gives good insight into PTSD and OCD as a result of domestic violence. The strength of the writing and dialogue ensured I found the characters believable. Into The Darkest Corner is a dark and twisted tale. It contains profanity, violence and some moderately graphic sexual content. If these things bother you, then this is not the book for you. The narrators were good, I found them easy on the ear though not the best I've ever heard. I recommend this book and in fact this author. I have since listened to two more of her books and enjoyed both of them.

I'm always able to get through a book faster using Audio.

yes, I knew knew what to expect with Lee. With friends like hers, who needs enemies??? Great twist!!

No I have not.

No. I have to take some mental breaks.

This book is intense. The back/forth from past to present got on my nerves initially but I got used to it mid way. The narrators was good and the male made me love Lee as much as I wanted to hate his charactre and the things he did. If you have a history of domestic violence (at any level), this book will definitely trigger some past emotions. I feel bad for people in this situation!

This is a very disturbing read (okay, listen). The title sums it up, it brings you to a dark corner where there is seemingly no escape. I prefer mysteries to thrillers but a well written thriller is almost as enjoyable as a good mystery. I just found this unrelentingly harrowing and wouldn't recommend it to my friends. This might be a spoiler but the story goes back and forth between the actual domestic violence and terrorism perpetrated against the main character by her lover and four years later, as she tries to regain her mental well being that he stole from her. Both of these situations are unenviable and as far as I'm concerned an exercise in how much depressive reading (listening) a person can take - I figure I could've taken about half of what is served up here. It still would've gotten to where it was eventually going and I would've been released from it's oppressiveness that much sooner.

I couldn't get enough of this book! I added it to my Kindle so that I could read it and listen to it. What an interesting concept.
