For Better, for Worse

De: Lauren North

Narrado por: Caitlin Shannon

Jake and I planned our romantic trip to the south of France to unwind from all the stress of organising our wedding and enjoy some blissful, sun-soaked days, just the two of us.

But when we return to the villa after a day exploring the stunning countryside, our dream holiday is turned upside down. Because there, on the beautiful antique rug, is the body of the man everyone saw Jake arguing with in the town square just this morning …

I stop breathing as I take in the scene. The footprints in the same tread as Jake's trainers. The knife I used at breakfast lying near the body, covered in my fingerprints.

I feel dizzy, reaching out for Jake as my knees tremble. He holds me upright, saying nothing. Is someone trying to frame us for this death? If they are, they've set us up flawlessly.

And now we have a choice to make. Call the police and risk everything – or get rid of the body and hope nobody ever finds out …

I'd give anything to go back to the stress of wedding planning, because now I feel nothing but terror.

Who would do something like this? Are we next to die? And why – as I look at my pale, sweating fiancé – do I wonder if he knows more than he's letting on …?

Good Twists

Everything is definitely not what it seems! I liked the plot and the characters were developed really well. I had an issue with repetition by both Jake and Hannah. If something is reframed differently it can be said again but it just seems like word filler and word count when the same thing is said over and over. I was invested enough to finish. There definitely were big surprises and twists.

Narration was really good, especially inner dialogue.
