De: Freida McFadden

Narrado por: Lauryn Allman

With all hope of an appeal fading away, the fate of a condemned murderess takes a shocking turn in a breathtaking short story by the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Housemaid.

Talia Kemper is on death row for murdering her husband. She had an alibi and no known motive, yet Talia’s unwavering protestations of innocence have always been ignored. Then one day in the visiting area, she sees a recognizable stranger she’s certain is her husband. It turns out the man she’s been convicted of killing may not be dead after all. But as the days tick away toward Talia’s execution, what will it take for her to be believed?

Freida McFadden’s Death Row is part of Alibis, a collection of stories about lies, truth, and deception. It’s just a matter of what you can get away with. They can be read or listened to in one sitting.

Ending

Excellent book except too short. Would not have purchased if known didn’t get more books. Looked like series

Great narrator

Confused about the ending. There were 3 different scenarios and I'm not sure which one, if any, is true. I don't understand the ending at all. A total waste of time!

Can a book this short be good?

Can a book that's only an hour and half really be very good? I like the 9-11 hour audiobooks. But I'm such a fan of FM I bought it. So glad I did! I loved this book! Although I'm still not 100% sure what actually happened at the end but it was so clever I loved that part of it. Left me wanting more. Narrator was great too!

5+ stars

This is typical Freida. It grabs you from the first sentence and keeps the interest going til the end. Great quick listen.

Out of left field!

This novella is so deep.... regret, dishonesty, assumptions, misunderstanding, miscommunication, feelings of inadequacy on the part of the main character ... so much to unpack and I thoroughly enjoyed the pace. There are lessons in there if you listen closely; lessons we could all learn from so we don't end up on 'death row' filled with regret. Cheers to Freida!!! Love your work!
