I Had To Think On This One..
'Her Last Secret' is a gripping listen in parts. Some parts are rather slow. However, I couldn't figure out why it was deemed 'a psychological thriller' until the very end.
We have a husband having an affair, a wife who's afraid to leave the husband, a misguided teen getting cyber-bullied.. a 'normal' abnormal family with severe problems behind closed doors. As the problems accumulate and tension mounts, the book feels more like a murder-mystery. It's very depressing, and it deals with depressing subject matter.
The end made me go 'Wow..' And, when something makes me do that, it's worth the read. The narrator was fantastic. The book is definitely interesting.. and I would give the story a solid 4 stars.

My mind wandered
Would you try another book from Barbara Copperthwaite and/or Katie Villa?
Maybe
Any additional comments?
It was hard for me to focus on this story...it seemed to ramble. After 8 chapters and I still can't get into the story...it's time to turn it off.

Disappointing
While the plot line has potential and is tied up in an interesting way the characters are trite and one dimensional for most of the novel. I found myself rolling my eyes at the mustache-twirling villainy of the father character in particular. While characters are given some redeeming dimension towards the end of the book I was already disinterested and skimmed the last third just to see how it ended (something I’ve never done before with an audiobook). While this may be aimed at young adults the author seems to underestimate their intelligence. Most adults will find it disappointing. The performance is lovely and I couldn’t help but wonder if such a talented voice actor found herself struggling to choke out the material.

I was never bored... BUT...
This is a tough book to review, because although I was never bored , and although the narrator did a great job , this was collectively the most miserable, angry, and unlikable group of characters I have ever encountered in one story.

Could have been a great book.
I went into this book hoping that it would be a good read based on the premise but i was wrong.
The story had entirely to much build up and “secrecy” that wasn’t really a secret. From the first couple of chapters you can tell exactly what was happening .

LIsten to the review- the narrator is THAT bad
I didn't listen to the reviews, because I thought "how bad can be?". Answer: REALLY bad. The slow talking and strange voice inflection made it impossible for me to finish this book. I didn't connect to the characters, and the protaganist annoyed me so much I had to stop reading. Might be a great story, but it's performed as though by a cheesy children's librarian reading a picture book. Total fail- I returned it part way through.

Not particularly well written
Entertaining in a trashy sort of way. Predictable and over the top. Wouldn't read again but fine for an easy poolside read or something. Much better books of a similar nature out there.

Slightly disappointing
Not as good a book as I expected from other reviews. Think this was probably because the ending was told at the beginning of the story. The first chapters were very slow and at one stage I was temped to give up but I persevered and it did pick up about three quarters of the way through the story. Quite a good story, just a pity the beginning dragged so much.

Whose Secret?
Certainly not a gripping psychological thriller! Full of one-dimentional characters (apart from little Mouse) and the cliches of overworked husband, acquistive wife with not enough to do and silly young mistress. I stuck with it to the end to see who lived and who died, but was not impressed by the story at all. The narrator did her best but this was not an un-put-downable novel.

Her Last Secret review
I loved this book! This was the first audio book I have really enjoyed. The lady reading the story had the most amazing voice and made it enjoyable to listen to.
A great thriller. I couldn't wait to find out what actually happened on Christmas day!

Not really what was advertised.
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
I would have enjoyed a bit more atmosphere. There were very little positives just a sea of catastrophic scenarios and characters just constantly making terrible decisions to the point of it just being very annoying to read. There was so much going wrong in the story that I stopped caring. I skipped through a few of the more self-pitying chapters.
What was most disappointing about Barbara Copperthwaite’s story?
It was sold as a gripping thriller which I felt was misleading. If I had bought this book knowing it would be more of a social drama talking about relationships and family life I'm sure I wouldn't feel as badly towards it. The book had no suspense, not a lot of mystery and it didn't mess with me psychologically so I'm not sure why it's advertised as a gripping psychological thriller. It's not an altogether terrible book, nor do I feel it's badly written, it's just not my cup of tea and I felt it was advertised incorrectly.
I don't like leaving scathing reviews and I don't want to insult anybody, but I feel it's fair to leave my honest review for future customers so they are fully aware of what they're purchasing. This book is about troubled relationships, lack of communications and family/social issues. The murder didn't even feel necessary to the story which is weird.
Have you listened to any of Katie Villa’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Her performance was good.
You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The performance was good. I felt that the younger characters were realistic and well researched in terms of behaviours and nuance.

This won't be my last book by this author...
Listened to this in a matter of days!
The story keeps you guessing, and I liked the way the author wrote it from each character's the point of view. There are no 'slow' chapters, and the end is a revelation.
Buy this, you won't be disappointed!

Gripping
Couldn't put this down. Excellent modern day thriller that crashes to a twisted conclusion. Excellent!

A Shakespearean tragedy
The most engrossing family drama I’ve read in years. It has a warning for all of us in this materialistic age where we have also lost our privacy because of social media. A timely warning to keep our loved ones close and be truly involved with them despite our busy lives. It shows how misunderstandings and miscommunications can lead to tragedy.A book to make you think - and hug your loved ones close.

Didn’t see that end coming!
Very enjoyable to the last minute. Well narrated and kept me captive until the conclusion. Highly recommended.

Every cliche imaginable. So bad it was laughable
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
I cannot imagine
What was most disappointing about Barbara Copperthwaite’s story?
Formulaic and cliched. Basically the plot was the same as the Girl On The Train or every other best seller of the last 2 years
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Her Last Secret?
All
