For Better and Worse

By: Margot Hunt

Narrated by: Cassandra Campbell

On their first date back in law school, Natalie and Will Clarke bonded over drinks, dinner and whether they could get away with murder. Now married, they’ll put the latter to the test when an unchecked danger in their community places their son in jeopardy. Working as a criminal defense attorney, Nat refuses to rely on the broken legal system to keep her family safe. She knows that if you want justice…you have to get it yourself.
Shocked to discover Nat’s taken matters into her own hands, Will has no choice but to dirty his, also. His family is in way too deep to back down now. He’s just not sure he recognizes the woman he married. Nat’s always been fiercely protective, but never this ruthless or calculating. With the police poking holes in their airtight plan, what will be the first to fall apart: their scandalous secret—or their marriage?

Worth the listen

The sing-song cadence the narrator used for Natalie’s voice drove me crazy. Not sure why narrators take such liberties (this was more than just a tone for the character, it was extremely distracting), it can affect the whole book. Overall though, I enjoyed the book!

I have 2 hours to go but...........

Unless she totally goes nuts, I expect the ending to be as good as the rest of the book. Worth the credit and I am not even finished.

Narration difficult

The story in this one was interesting enough but also a bit predictable. Narration made it a tough listen. The narrator voiced the protagonist in a way that made her sound dim witted. She’s not.

Entertaining

I liked this story. I was definitely engaged and surprised at the ending. Well narrated as well. Definitely recommend for a beach read or long drive.

Great listen

I love the narrator and the story was so complex. It truly makes me as a parent wonder what I might do in that situation. I would do anything to protect my kids and grandchildren and family. So I felt this perspective very hard!
