The Deceit

By: Sara Foster

Narrated by: Tim Potter, Tamala Shelton

Your wife is a liar.

Has your wife told you the truth yet?

Do you know who Claire really is?

Lenny has always known that his wife, Claire, is the love of his life. But somehow his marriage is in shambles, he’s struggling with the kids, and a string of anonymous text messages are tormenting him, insisting that Claire is a liar.

Claire knows Lenny is a good man, but there’s a lot she hasn’t told him about her past. Now she’s terrified that the horrors that haunt her are about to put her entire family in danger.

Strange new neighbours, insidious clients and schoolyard scandal begin to fracture Claire and Lenny’s happy families façade. As secrets are revealed and pasts uncovered, the lies will be exposed and everyone's lives will change forever.

A gripping suburban thriller from the bestselling author of Beneath the Shadows and The Hush.

"The fast-moving flow from placid family life to a deeply disturbing secret drives this suspenseful tale." Kirkus Reviews

The deceit has been one of the best!

So well written, riveting from start to end. The narrators were excellent. Sara Foster is new to me and i will look out for new books she has on audible, this suspense filled book was brilliant.

Excellent!

Excellent story, excellent writing, and excellent performance! Lots of little twists but all are well developed and the ending - give this one a listen. It’s so good!!

Really good

You get sucked in.. quite good! …I love the accent (me being from US) it’s nice to hear

Good short listen

the story line was somewhat predictable at times, but still a good short crime mystery.

Engaging

While it becomes pretty obvious who the " villain" is the motive is unknown and a good twist

Kept me intrigued

It seemed a little far fetched but definitely held my interest. Good narrative. There were a few twists and turns.

Well done all around

This book has a nice twist on a common story. I would recommend to anyone

Stellar performance

This book actually grabbed and held my attention which I appreciate because it seems here lately that I’m having a hard time finding a book to keep my attention so this is definitely a delight. The ending was a little predictable, but the story was still very enjoyable, especially because of the amazing performances by the readers.

Great story

I loved the suspense and it had me sitting on the edge of my seat. Fantastic

Loved it

I really liked the story and how it was told. It has Plot twists without unnecessary drama or irrelevant parts.
