The New Couple

De: Alison James

Narrado por: Jan Cramer

The perfect marriage. The perfect house. The perfect secret....

As I step through the cherry-red door of my new home, I know I should feel like the luckiest woman alive. I have a handsome husband, a beautiful daughter, and now the house of my dreams. And to everyone else my life looks perfect....

When the neighbors stop by to welcome us, I tell them my name is Stephanie Hamlin, and under the watchful gaze of my husband, Richard, I introduce him and our curly-haired little girl, Poppy. I smile as wide as I can and desperately hope I can fit in to this exclusive place with its pretty communal gardens. Because I’ve risked everything to be here.

Behind closed doors I try to relax, to unwind in the huge clawfoot bath and forget about my complicated past. It’s hard being the new couple on the street when you’ve got secrets.

Because the truth is, my charming husband isn’t really my husband.

And I’m not Stephanie Hamlin....

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller that will keep you guessing. If you love Behind Closed Doors, My Lovely Wife, and The Perfect Couple, you’ll be hooked.

I couldn’t turn it off

It’s midnight and my bedtime was two hours ago! This book is so good & the narration was excellent. Love the details and build-up of the characters and story.

Great Twist. So many twists.

Great storyline. The characters were believable.
Need a sequel to know what happens afterwards 20 years and after the eight mpnths.

Disappointed With This One

I think this story had potential but it fell flat and the characters were either not developed or not developed enough. Where some could have been stronger it appears they were weak. Not only in integrity but personal worth in a way, m assuming, to make others seem stronger, more intimidating. It just didn’t work unfortunately.

Narrator did well with what she had.

took a chance was worth it

I had not read anything from this author before but it being on sale I took a chance. I listened to it all in a day and a half.

Interesting twists and characters

Enjoyed the story buildup and the way they switched from one perspective to another. Interesting characters.
