I couldn't stop listening

This kept me glued to my phone listening. I figured it out early...or at least I thought I did.

Enjoy this gem from March Originals 👍

Anyone who enjoys psychological thrillers and excellent, well-paced narration, will be pleased to have selected Tell Me Lies as one of March's Audible Originals.

Sometimes readers can find some real gems offered in the Originals section. This was one of the longer choices at just over six hours so listeners will find they have arrived at the end in no time. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!

Listenable, but predictable.

A little disappointed in this Original. The writing itself is not bad but the narrative is pretty derivative and very predictable. I found the characters lacking in any kind of authenticity and the middle-class Melbourne flavour a bit hard to stomach. Still listenable - the story does have a reasonable drive and the narration is quite good. For people who enjoy the Housewife Psy-Thriller genre, it might be a decent listen.

A little predictable but worth it.

I despise books that I can figure out, but this one had a twist that redeemed itself. If you ever took psychology to understand your own self, you would appreciate this book.

Very frustrating

The main character was exhaustingly bad at decision making. I just felt sorry for her children and husband the whole way through. Also, having her be clueless about doxxing, swatting, and basic information regarding IP addresses seemed unrealistic given her age, education, and profession.

Not Predictable!

I loved the steady pace throughout - w spikes when it got crazy, great plot , characters weren't 1 dimensional and the narration was excellent- 1st domestic thriller that didn't frustrate me with being super stereo typical.I loved Silent Patient but I actually liked the pace of this one better. I'm definitely checking out what else this author has done. Hoping it's just as good as this one was.

Good "read"

I enjoyed the cadence and tone of the narrator. It didn't feel as twisty to me as seemed from other reviews. I found the story to be predictable as earlier than affirmed clues came up but I still found myself wanting to listen, following through the psychological aspects of motivation of the characters. I appreciated the concise descriptions of scenes to give enough information and not unnecessarily drag on like some books do. This was pretty much a listen in 2 nights book and I enjoyed it. I would recommend for a quick and well paced listen.

Been there

It's not a bad read, worth a rainy day or two indoors.... but I feel like I have heard this story telling formula before. If you like a safe read then this will work for you. A nice twist in the end, but it wasn't mind blowing. Great narration which is refreshing.
