Publisher's summary

Brace yourself for the latest gripping thriller from Sarah Richards, the bestselling author behind Audible hits China White and Born Winners. The Worst of You is a twisted tale full of mysteries that only grow more intense with each thrilling reveal, keeping you guessing until the shocking conclusion. Masterfully narrated by Sarah Desjardins (Yellowjackets), this immersive audiobook will have you captivated from start to finish.

In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.

I like this story, until the end.

Didn't like how we bend the rules to justify the wrong. Corruption is corruption.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT

Was hooked within the first chapter! Loved this story! Twisted plots, very well written. Best audible I have heard, it is perfection.

Good storyline, but slow.

Seemed to take a long time to get into the story. Storyline was good, but it was very slow to build interest. I kept hoping it would get there and didn’t until the last 2 chapters.

Interesting story

First time for me with this author and I enjoyed the plot. However, I didn't like that the reader didn't at least try to distinguish between male and female. Her voice was consistently feminine and I had a hard time determining who was speaking at times.

Boring and the Narrator, ugh!

The narrator needs to learn how to pronounce eczema. The plot of this book is incredibly drawn out, I’m halfway through and I’m going to increase the speed in which I listen to it. I cannot stand the British accent she attempts and her voice in general is just not pleasant.

DNF

The blurb was certainly enough to draw me in...but the story seemed drawn out, meandering, and none of the characters were interesting or compelling enough to make me want to listen to this to the end. Gave up part way through. Not for me.
