Publisher's summary

Alexander thinks it will be easy to break up with his mistress because he has done it many times before with other women. But Karen is different. She doesn't want to be dispensable and decides to use Alexander's wife in her plans. His wife doesn't suspect anything, which is perfect for Karen. Nothing can stand in the way of her happiness. Or, so she thinks. After her beautiful plan is in place and she assumes everything is under her control, things begin to take a different turn. Suddenly, nothing is under her control. Skeletons are pulled out of everyone's closets and lives are destroyed.

In this book no one is innocent - until proved otherwise.

twisted soap opera

If you're looking for an indulgent and juicy story - this is the book for you. It has all the ingredients of an easy read, soap opera characters and novella plot line. Nothing too predictable, but also nothing too far for the imagination.

Characters that You ( I ) love to hate

The title said it all! Rotten Apple indeed (to the core!) Infidelity and revenge with plot twists galore. The icing on the cake was the engaging narration. I wanted to yell at Alex ....excuse me, Alexander to get over his bad self . Stick with this one to the end (not hard to do!) and you will not be sorry.

Suspenseful & entertaining

Loved this book, couldn't put it down. Lots of twists and far from predictable. Looking forward to other books by the author. Also enjoyed the narrator!

A great listen with a surprising bad/good guy

Any additional comments?

First, the good. This was a great story, an incredible thriller and a really intense no-that-did-not-just-happen ending. The narration was incredibly well-done and I got completely lost in the story.

Now, the bad. The good guy was such a bad person. The lines blurred. I no longer knew who to root for. What a ride!!

Nothing Rotten here...

What made the experience of listening to Rotten Apple the most enjoyable?

The narrator was excellent. The slightest lilt in her voice for different characters made them believable and not cartoonish.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Rotten Apple?

My most memorable moment was when the killer was revealed. Although I called it early in the book, the reasons were very interesting and unexpected.

What about Stephanie Dillard’s performance did you like?

Stephanie did a great job with the character voices, but also never left her cadence the same throughout. Each sentence was read stand-alone, and it seemed as if she was truly into the story, which made me that much more interested. Sometimes a continued cadence by a narrator lulls you to sleep - that never happened in this book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I wanted to feel for Alexander's plight, but I never found him to be a sympathetic character, although I get the feeling I was supposed to feel sorry for him at times.

Any additional comments?

The middle of the book drags a bit - there is a lot of information that could have been collapsed into shorter chapters (or combined into one chapter). I understand what the author was going for in building the story arc, but the information came so slowly at times that I was ready to get to the climax of the story. Great narration got me through those parts.

OH SO GOOD!!!

I enjoyed every minute of this book. I wish I could say I didn't see that coming... there were some surprises and overall kept my interest from start to finish. Fast paced, easy to understand and listen to. Wonderful characters, some you love to hate.
