Publisher's summary

Some people just need killing.

Marlena Altizer Durst lives in her husband's shadow. He controls her every move - what she wears, the food she eats, and the friends she's allowed to make. If she disobeys, there are...consequences. And he has all the power.

To outsiders, it seems that she leads a fairy-tale life. But nobody ever wonders if Cinderella was happy after she married the prince. Marlena has traded freedom and safety for luxurious imprisonment, and most days, that seems like a bad bargain. Death may be the only exit she's allowed. Just like his first wife. And his second. Unless she flips the script.

Kept me on my toes

I kept wondering who was on who’s side. Who was going to take this man down or if the female lead would succumb to her powerful husband. Easy listening…. As long as you could keep up with the multiple characters.

Entertaining but...

I rolled my eyes MANY times.
Ignore the reviews that say the ending was a twist. There are zero surprises. The author paints a black and white picture and nothing beyond.

Good twists and turns

I anxiously wanted to see make character get his. I was pleased about the surprises. Thought there would be more detail about Joanna. Ending a bit clipped.

Almost perfect

This was a good listen. I just thought the end could have been stronger, I was disappointed.
The narrator does a great job.

Loved it

Loved it. Greatly twist that I didn’t see coming. Just when I thought I knew what was going on I was wrong.
