Look Closer

De: David Ellis

Narrado por: Will Damron, Hillary Huber, Elizabeth Garrett, Steve West

“Wildly entertaining.”—New York Times Book Review

From the bestselling and award-winning author comes a wickedly clever and fast-paced novel of greed, revenge, obsession—and quite possibly the perfect murder.

Simon and Vicky couldn’t seem more normal: a wealthy Chicago couple, he a respected law professor, she an advocate for domestic violence victims. A stable, if unexciting marriage. But one thing’s for sure: absolutely nothing is what it seems. The pair are far from normal, and one of them just may be a killer.

When the body of a beautiful socialite is found hanging in a mansion in a nearby suburb, Simon and Vicky’s secrets begin to unravel. A secret whirlwind affair. A twenty-million-dollar trust fund about to come due. A decades-long grudge and obsession with revenge. These are just a few of the lies that make up the complex web... and they will have devastating consequences. And while both Vicky and Simon are liars, just who exactly is conning who? Part Gone Girl and part Strangers on a Train, Look Closer is a wild rollercoaster of a read that will have you questioning everything you think you know.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"I’ll tell you what—Look Closer is James Patterson’s Book Club selection. You won’t forget this novel, and these characters—good and bad—for a long time."—James Patterson

“Serpentine revelations will surprise even the cleverest mystery readers. This complex tale of triple-crossings and devious revenge should win Ellis new fans.”—Publishers Weekly

“Twisty, intricately plotted…. Even seasoned mystery readers won’t be able to predict all the knots in Simon and Vicky’s tangled web of deception. A roller-coaster ride full of unexpected twists and turns.”—Kirkus Reviews

I enjoyed it.

I listened to this book in about 2 days so I was definitely very involved in where the story went. I was encouraged to get it by having it compared to a favorite book of mine, The Kind Worth Killing. I get the comparison in a way, but the reason this one gets 4 stars is because it is confusing at times. Not so confusing that you can't figure it out or enjoy the story, just better listen closely. I like the twists and how the story turned out too.

Brilliant

4.5⭐ rounded up

What a ride. Brilliantly executed. While there are portions you'll be able to figure out, the whole, complete story is refreshingly unexpected.

There were times I was doing math trying to figure out how certain events were happening when characters were saying different things but in this group, everyone is hiding something. When you have a group of liars all plotting to steal millions of dollars from each other or having sordid affairs, can anyone really 'win'? Very good, very enjoyable!

Regarding the narrators, everyone was awesome. I enjoyed listening to every cast member. Fantastic all around.

Great Listen!

Catching story that definitely is not a “I have already read this before” book. The twists are great, keeps you guessing and questioning.

Keeps you guessing until end

This book is a fantastic mystery. I thought I had it solved a few different times but alas I did not.

Twists and turns
