Think you know the person you married? Think again…

Things have been wrong with Mr and Mrs Wright for a long time. When Adam and Amelia win a weekend away to Scotland, it might be just what their marriage needs. Self-confessed workaholic and screenwriter Adam Wright has lived with face blindness his whole life. He can’t recognize friends or family, or even his own wife.

Every anniversary the couple exchange traditional gifts – paper, cotton, pottery, tin – and each year Adam’s wife writes him a letter that she never lets him read. Until now. They both know this weekend will make or break their marriage, but they didn’t randomly win this trip. One of them is lying, and someone doesn’t want them to live happily ever after.

Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget.

What a nice surprise!

At first I thought, “oh darn, another one if those” where the author uses multiple narrators to tell the story snd multiple dates as transitions. That seems to be the cliche structure of so many books, particularly in the mystery/thriller genre. Despite that, snd my initial inclination to delete it from my library, I plugged along and was quickly converted to a fan of this book. Although I found some characters underdeveloped, the plot was tight and brave enough to have a twist at the end. It carried me along through multiple barn cleanings and one or two trips to town. I’d be very glad to try another book from this author.
The narrator was top notch, with subtle and convincing voice changes for each character ; that is a real talent.

just ok

The book was long. Not as exciting as I thought it could be. Just ok

Where is this going?

Couldn’t stop listening because the whole time I was like… where is this going? (in a good way). And enjoyed the darkness of this storyline in that twisted, wtf is this going kind-of-way. Not my typical genre but look forward to listening to another. Great narration too.

Was so worth the read!

I enjoyed this book from the very beginning. A slow start but it felt like I was on an emotional roller coaster with the characters and boy was I glad to take the ride.

Wow

It has been a while since I read anything not self help related and this book did not disappoint. I was blown away by the twists and the turns. Wonderful book would recommend!
