The Swimmer

A Novel

De: Loreth Anne White

Narrado por: Reba Buhr

A deviously twisty novel of psychological suspense about secrets, neighbors, a need to belong, and murder by the award-winning author of The Maid’s Diary.

Socially awkward Chloe Cooper divides her time between dog walking, bartending, caring for her ailing mother, and at a safe distance, watching people and inventing the stories of their lives. Like Chloe’s new neighbors: glamorous influencer Jemma Spengler and Jemma’s husband, Adam, a renowned surgeon. They’re attractive, wealthy, and in a house of open windows, so exposed.

A move to the Pacific Northwest is supposed to be a fresh start for Jemma and Adam. It’s a renewed commitment to a marriage fractured by secrets. A chance to work through the tragic losses in their past. For Jemma, however, this new beginning also comes with an unnerving sensation that she’s being watched.

Then, on a fog-shrouded beach early in the morning, Chloe witnesses the murder of a swimmer. Her suspicions aroused, she suddenly sees her neighbors in a sinister new light. But as a detective and her partner close in, nothing is quite as it seems. Because the Spenglers are not the only ones with secrets. And Chloe isn’t the only one who’s been watching.

Narcissist wife wants husband to herself

I’m not sure! I really wanted to LOVE this book because I loved the main character and her quirks. But I kept having to reread chapters because my attention got lost. Her back story came so fast at the end that I really felt like it wasn’t even needed. Overall I did enjoy the book. The story was captivating. The characters, intriguing. But the writing just kept losing me.

The Stellar Narration

The storyline is intriguing, mysterious and compelling. The characters were believable and developed in interesting layers. Most of all I enjoyed the excellent narrator! This one goes onto my list of favorites.

underwhelming

I love Loreth Ann White books but the past two have been underwhelming. There were some plot elements that came out of nowhere and really added nothing to the story. The ending was quite predictable.
