The Housewife’s Secret

Detective Dan Riley, Book 7

De: Anna-Lou Weatherley

Narrado por: James Lailey

I cast my eyes over the impressive meal I’ve cooked and the half-empty crystal wine glasses. As our guests smile graciously, I squeeze my husband’s shoulder. It’s vital I get his friends to like me. To believe this version of me. Because I’ll do anything to stop them learning the truth…

Ever since I met my handsome husband Dr Gabe Bonneville, I started playing the role of the perfect housewife. He works hard as a surgeon, so I look after our home, and throw elaborate dinner parties with champagne cocktails for his best friends Hugh and Anita. He’s my safe place and my chance to have the family I’ve always wanted.

I’ve managed to hide the mornings when I wake up and see a face in the shadows. I haven’t told Gabe the truth about the woman who raised me, or told him about the therapy I’ve been getting so my secrets stay hidden in the dark. I haven’t questioned his past so he doesn’t ask about mine. I see the way Anita looks at him sometimes, but I’ll never say a word.

Until the letter arrives at the front door. The beautiful, expensive card shakes in my hand as I read the neat black handwriting.

Someone knows I’m not just a housewife. And the lies I’ve told will be all that’s left when I disappear…

I love Detective Dan!

This author’s work is imaginative and original. The performance of the narrator captures the emotions of the characters and paints a vivid image of each scene. This a wonderful series!

I can’t say enough how much I LOVE these books!

Dan Reilly does it again. Great story line, I loved the ending, listening to his and Fiona’s marriage grow stronger is very sweet.

Another great one!!

Dan Riley never disappoints!!! James Lailey is amazing in this narration series!!! Whether you can listen for free, or if you have to use a credit, you will not regret it!!

Excellent story and narration, BUT...

I was so thrown off in the beginning by the masculine voice talking about her gyno. appt! The story is good enough, and the narration is outstanding, so I eventually forgot, but there really should have been a woman narrator for parts of it. It was almost enough at first to turn me off of the story and I would have missed out.

A really suspenseful tale!

Loved the unusual characters, both the minor and major ones. The dialogue and setting were very engaging. My full attention was gained from story beginning to end. Highly recommend for lovers of psychological suspense.
