Publisher's summary

A casual remark on the telephone leads Eleanor Hamilton to an appalling and deeply disturbing discovery: John, her husband of 20 years, has been leading a life of duplicity and betrayal. Shock, jealousy, and anger drive Eleanor to extraordinary limits in her desire for revenge. But then fate intervenes in the shape of a terrible accident.

Short but sweet

The Question takes an interesting plot and doesn't quite develop it far enough. The development of the story is intriguing but slightly marred by the characters, none of whom are likeable. The narrator is quite good but she portrays the main character very shrilly which can get annoying. Overall worth listening to but not gripping

Very British...quite brilliant

I absolutely loved this book, couldn't stop listening to it until its quite satisfying conclusion! The writing is superb, the narration equally so. But I will admit that it likely would be more appealing to older female readers. A big thumbs up from me!

It was a great read.

If you could sum up The Question in three words, what would they be?

Worth The Time to Listen.

What did you like best about this story?

That is was a story. It had a "ripped from the headlines quality" which was the type of story that is so odd it must be true. It was a singular story, not a lot of characters but I believed it and was engaged. Not too long -- not too short. It was British-y which I liked a lot.

Any additional comments?

I don't know who Jane Asher is, so it doesn't play into my opinion of the book. But, I read/listen to a lot of books. This one is good.
