Look In the Mirror

A Novel

De: Catherine Steadman

Narrado por: Catherine Steadman

From the New York Times bestselling author of Something in the Water comes “an utter white-knuckle ride that took me into a heart of darkness” (Lucy Foley, author of The Paris Apartment).

“Addictive, thrilling, intoxicating.”—Lisa Jewell, author of None of This Is True

“The vacation home of dreams . . . or nightmares? What a ride—I tore through this nail-biting, pacey read.”—Sarah Pearse, author of The Retreat

Nina, still grieving from the loss of her father, discovers that she has inherited property in the British Virgin Islands—a vacation home she had no idea existed, until now. The house is extraordinary: state-of-the-art, all glass and marble. How did her sensible father come into enough money for this? Why did he keep it from her? And what else was he hiding?

Maria, once an ambitious medical student, is a nanny for the super-rich. The money’s better, and so are the destinations where her work takes her. Just one more gig, and she’ll be set. Finally, she’ll be secure. But when her wards never show, Maria begins to make herself at home, spending her days luxuriating by the pool and in the sauna. There’s just one rule: Don’t go in the basement. That room is off-limits. But her curiosity might just get the better of her. And soon, she’ll wish her only worry was not getting paid.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A summer thriller that will keep you from looking at your own reflection for days, Look In the Mirror is a nail-biting page turner. . . . Will keep readers glued.”—HuffPo

“Hypnotic and pulse-pounding, Look in the Mirror is both a dazzling puzzle-box of a thriller and an evocative exploration of trust, power, and how well we really know the people we love. I flew through its lush prose and intricate plot in 24 hours flat—and didn’t want it to end!”—Andrea Bartz, New York Times bestselling author of The Spare Room and We Were Never Here

“An inheritance puzzle turns sinister in this beguiling, atmospheric mystery. . . . A seductive, expertly plotted page-turner that will give you the shivers.”—Louise Candlish, bestselling author of The Only Suspect

Masterful

I have loved every book by Catherine and equally her narration of each book. I am blown away that this book somehow tops the others to be her best yet. What an incredible concept and executed so well. I loved each character and the multiple perspectives changed at just the right moments. I never wanted this to end, and couldn't stop binge listening to see what happened next! Her narration was flawless as usual. More please!

Couldn’t stop listening

I’ve read/listened to all of her books and I think this one is my favorite! So good! I couldn’t stop listening.

Another great listen!

First I have to say I love that the author reads the story- she is excellent and it is part of my favorite thing about her audiobooks. I can’t get enough of her stories, and now I’m sad because I’ve finished it and I have to wait for her to write more. If you have never read a Catherine Steadman book- you’re missing out- they are all fantastic so grab one and you won’t be disappointed! 😊

Love the narrator!

So fun to listen to..bought the book as well ..extrodinary twists and turns..a real page turner…ms. One of my favorites!

So disappointed in authors failour to help us care about the charcters too drawn out as wel. Wrap it up❗️

Disappointed ;:all round lack of character development, and plausibility Of those characters: plus we were isolated as the listener, and as bored and interactive as the characters g

Pretty twisted.

Love love this narration. Her voice is so easy to listen to. The story is a different kind of thriller and definitely dark. I just don’t care for the survival-thriller type stories. A great book, just not my favorite type! I recommend.

Author narration

So good and loved that the author narrated. Did not see the twists coming. Will be reading more by this author.

I couldn’t stop listening

Truly a spectacular, unpredictable thriller and I couldn’t put it down. This was as exciting as the first one of hers I was spellbound to “Something in the water”. One surprise after another that kept me completely engaged!

Haunted House Story?

I've read or listened to most of Steadman's novels and have enjoyed them. This particular novel was, in my opinion, strange and left me wondering what was going on. It would be interesting to what gave the author the inspriation to write this "story." Nevertheless, I will look forward to her next work.

Quirky!

This book did not take the path I predicted. I love Catherine’s books so I was eager to dive in. Story moves along and not your usual summer read!
