Editorial reviews

In author and publishing consultant Eden Collinsworth's It Might Have Been What He Said, Isabel Simpson, a beautiful, powerful publishing executive, finds herself at the heart of a spine-tingling mystery in which she is the key player. The terrifying question: Why did she try to kill her husband? Voiceover artist Eva Kaminsky skillfully embodies the talented, gorgeous Isabel, filling her voice with a keen intelligence and sophisticated mien that will leave listeners spellbound. In this psychological mystery that spans the wealthy Isabel's life, beginning when she was a child living in a mansion with a cruel nanny, listeners learn that in life, the greatest riddle is ourselves.

Publisher's summary

The story of a couple madly in love and just plain mad.

Isabel was able to remember the precise moment she tried killing her husband. Strangely enough, she couldn't recollect why....

An elegant and powerful tale of love and passion, promises and deceits.

It has potential...

It's ironic that a book based around a female book publisher, who tells her husband that his manuscript needs work because the story needs to be rounded out, has that exact problem. It's told in jerky fashion, bouncing around time periods without explanation. And then it has a worse ending than the first "Hobbit" movie. At least they had the excuse that it was a trilogy, so the story wasn't actually over. This was just... lazy.

Not what I expected

The narrator was great... but the story was not what I expected. I think the main point was interesting, and the story telling was entertaining, but the characters were not really likeable and some of it was far fetched... I also think there were a few holes that were a bit confusing.

Arrogance and innocence collide

We all have read or heard a story of a marriage that ends, one spouse grows as a matured companion, friend and lover whereas the other spouse has a flawed character and doesn't grown. That said I enjoyed this book because of how descriptive the ride of the roller-coaster of emotions going through a divorce: surprise, betray, grief, loss and regrowth during a divorce. There are so many one-liners that were to the point about those emotions that I have book marked many sections to reflect and share with others. That is the point of a book, not just entertainment but to make you think and reflect and if you listen you will hear those poignant moments that are filled with wisdom

I Want My Money Back.... It was free

It's bad when I find myself wanting to fast forward through chapters hoping something interesting happens. The first few chapters were promising and grasped you the rest of the book loses very fast just bleh

A Waste

What!!!??? It had potential. But was the worst ending EVER! I kept waiting for something exciting to happen. It never did.

Good story; abrupt ending

Took a bit to get interested. But the story did pick up. I was just caught off guard that the book all of the sudden ended. Would have preferred a more developed ending. Otherwise, I enjoyed it.

Boring....that's it.

About a relationship, a divorce. That's it, the end. I'm glad I had lots of cleaning and laundry to do while listening. But seriously, you do not need to waste your time or a credit on this very dull novel.
