Double Life: A True Story

De: Iris Mårtenson, Alice Klingener - translator, Nuanxed - translator

Narrado por: Laurel Lefkow

“Does Max Nilsson live here?” These words from a woman I had never seen before changed my family’s lives entirely. This is a true story about a man who lived a double life: “A new day, a new life” was his motto.

The man I fell in love with and who became my fiancé was a fraud. Being found out by chance brought out his madness. He started a campaign of persistent harassment, and I couldn’t get him out of my life. The more I delved into his life, the more appalling things I discovered. He screamed at me, telling me I could have anything I wanted if I stopped. Instead, I decided to discover the entire truth and was shocked by what I found out. I ran for my life.

Excellent narration

One of the best narrators in audio books!

Story drags a bit in the middle,lots of details about drinks and snacks. I would have enjoyed far more real estate in developing the part of the story she didn’t know about, the uncovering of the truth, and subsequent fallout.

Poorly written

The main characters’ cluelessness and steadfast refusal to ignore the red flags were irritating. The writing was filled with cliches and the author had a habit of doing way more telling than showing through actions.
