She’s just the kind of woman middle manager Steven Hepsworth likes - meek, insecure, and willing to defer to a man. No one has any idea who Jane really is. Least of all Steven. But plain Jane is hiding something. Nothing can distract Jane from going straight for his heart: allowing herself to be seduced into Steven’s bed, to insinuate herself into his career and his family, and to expose all his dirty secrets. So she can take it all away. Just as he did to her.

Imagine someone speaking to you for hours on end with the EXACT SAME INTONATION for each sentence . The story line was nearly A's intolerable. Damsel in distress, hunky guy, slimy husband, whole lot of "I just can't " dialogue. Skip it.

Pick this one.
If you love to read mysteries/ psychological thrillers but you often have a problem enjoying them wholly as your fun is taken away before the second chapter has ended because you already know 'who's done it' - you might like this book. I had "figured it out" plenty of times throughout listening to this book, but only to find myself doubting my thinking over and over again. I enjoyed the narration. Listening to this story in an accent that is different from my own added to the intrigue, I think. I really enjoyed this book!

Decent
I got the book free trough my Amazon prime reading. So that's why I'm not too disappointed with this book. It didn't cost me anything. I wouldn't be too thrilled if I put a credit on it, but perhaps that's a fault of my own. I'm not entirely sure this genre is for me. I'd say it's a bit predictable, in a sense. You'll probably guess what happened within the first few chapters. There are some missing pieces and red herrings, etc. you get closure at the end, which is nice. Overall, it kept me busy and helped pass the hour of lunch at work. The narrator does well.
So to summarize.
Being free was good.
The narrator did well.
The story was predictable.
But there's still enough story to tell to keep you occupied.

The most Predictible and cliched book I've read.
What would have made Look Behind You better?
An original thought
What do you think your next listen will be?
Stephen king or Jodi Piccoult possibly.
How could the performance have been better?
A better book.
What character would you cut from Look Behind You?
This book was so bad that I actually wanted the whiny main character to die. Then at least I could have said it had an enexpected ending.
Any additional comments?
I almost never write negative reviews because I admire anyone who can write, but this book was so bad that it was a complete waste of my money and time.

Let down by the narrator
If I had read some previous reviews before purchasing, I would have been prepared for the dreadful narration of this story. The constant rise towards the end of sentences became so distracting that I almost gave up after the first chapter. However, I persevered and must have become more tollerant although I do think a grittier narrator is required for this story. The plot was ok with several twists and turns but I found parts very repetative and weak. Overall, an ok thriller read by an irritating narrator.

Reasonable story but irritating narration
Overall I enjoyed this story. However, I had figured it out right from the opening so none of the twists had any effect for me. It's a shame really because I felt the author came on too strong in one area and so the twists never changed my mind. Having said that, I did enjoy the story and it wasn't ruined by knowing the secret.
Unfortunately, I found the narration monotonous and irritating. She's good with accents and voices in short dialogue, but for any lengthy dialogue or prose her voice repeats the same intonation for each sentence. I almost didn't continue listening at the beginning because it was so irritating and distracting. A real shame.

Just average & a little plodding
I wish that the main character did a little less thinking & that there was more actually going on. The narrator's voice really grated.

Spoiled by the narration
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The reader
Would you be willing to try another one of Susan Duerden’s performances?
no
Was Look Behind You worth the listening time?
The story was enough to make me cringe through the narration but only just....
Any additional comments?
From the start the rising tone of every sentence drove me crazy ! It was a relief when other characters were introduced just to get a different tone. I almost gave up but the story was interesting enough to make me persist to the end.

Gripping psychological tale
Would you listen to Look Behind You again? Why?
Exciting and realistic story. I wouldn't listen again because knowing the outcome would spoil it.
What did you like best about this story?
Chloe 'acted' her part very well and you were made to feel a great deal of sympathy for her but the listener was never sure whether she was deluded or not until the last chapter.
Have you listened to any of Susan Duerden’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Great sympathy for Chloe - near to tears.
Any additional comments?
Hope she has some more great books like this one.

Bit of a struggle but got through it
Found it a bit hard going to keep listening to this book due to the breathy narration and the writing style of the author. I became quite bored of the repetitive and overly descriptive narration of the main characters every single thought. It was obvious from the start who was messing with her head, just took forever to get there.

Awful!
The main character in this book is so stupid you actually feel she deserves everything she gets! What an overwhelming waste of time. Thankfully Audible refunds when you make poor purchases!

A bit slow and predicable
I love psychological thrillers that mess with your mind, so I had high hopes for this one, but unfortunately it didn't quite deliver for me. I found Chloe's frantic internal monologue to be repetitive and dragging in places, slowing down the narrative and grating on my nerves as she ruminates on the same events over and over – and over again! There were few surprises in the outcome of the story for me, therefore also lacking the shock element that would have made the final denouement worth the very lengthy build up. Whilst I usually don’t mind a slow-burning mystery, I found myself getting bored and frustrated, wanting to speed things along a bit. As a character, Chloe became a bit stagnant and I would have liked a more insight and background into what made her tick. Perhaps audio, with its leisurely narration, also wasn’t the best choice for this slow-burner.

worst book ever
Would you try another book written by Sibel Hodge or narrated by Susan Duerden?
no chance
What was most disappointing about Sibel Hodge’s story?
The story was predictable, drawn out and about 3/4 through the author must have decided it was too weak and introduced a random character.
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Susan Duerden?
Anyone who is not mono toned.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
annoyance at purchasing the book

Who came first??
Sooo similar plot to Nicci French.
The exact same story, written by different authors.
Wasn't bad by all means but same story line.
I read Nicci French first, so that's my choice 😘

Don't bother
My first disappointing Audible book in more than a year. The story was predictable, but ok. The performance was dreadful.

Good old fashioned thriller in its best tradition
Chloe Benson wakes up in a dark dank room with her hands tied behind her back and no memory of how she got there.
So begins our story. The next 38 chapters take us through Chloe's journey to discover her lost memories. All the while her creepy controlling husband who seems so loving and attentive to outsiders does his best to undermine her faith in herself.
Is she going mad, or could he have something to do with the whole thing.
A real page turner. I recommend it.
