Home Sweet Home

De: Ruth Irons

Narrado por: Emer Heatley

You invited her in. That was your first mistake.

Jules and Scott are a young couple living on the outskirts of London. When the charming and charismatic Orla sweeps into their lives, inviting her to house-share seems like the answer to all their problems: she needs a home, they could do with the money.

But once Orla moves in, Jules starts to feel uncomfortable. Whatever the occasion, Orla has to be center-stage. Every social occasion, every outing, every get-together is dominated by her and her daily dramas. But on closer inspection, Orla's stories just don't add up. And Jules starts to suspect that their dream housemate might be about to turn their lives into a nightmare.

A tense new psychological thriller from the author of The Perfect Guest.

Overall good.

The story was good, a bit longer than it needed to be but overall still a good story. The narration was good except throughout the entire book you can hear the reader swallowing and that was very distracting to me.

Ruth Irons is my new Fave!

I couldn’t stop listening! If you want a book where it feels like you’re listening to your friend’s CRAZY roommate gossip, you will love this book. It is going to be a long year waiting for her next book to come out.

Distracting Narrator

I enjoyed the story, but I would suggest reading this book instead of audio. The narrator's constant swallowing and mouth noises were extremely distracting and annoying. Ruth Irons tells a good story so it's upsetting that the narrator was so unpleasant.
