Publisher's summary

The love of your life...or a deadly mistake?

It’s hard meeting your ex after so much time apart. You remember the tears and accusations, the desperate look on his face as he punched the wall, but you try not to show it. You smile politely, even while your heart beats faster.

You watch as he looks down into the stroller, at the beautiful blond-haired, blue-eyed baby kicking his little legs in the sunshine, whose innocent smile lights up your world.

You see his face change. You know what he’s thinking.

The next day he calls. His voice is shaking. He wants the truth. Is it his child?

You hesitate, your throat dry, good and bad memories swirling in your mind. You’ve missed him so much...but can you ever trust him again?

You decide that the most important thing is doing what’s right for baby Tom. But months later, when the sirens wail in the night, you have to admit: You never thought either of you would go this far....

A brilliantly twisty psychological thriller from number one best-selling author S.E. Lynes about a relationship full of secrets and lies. Fans of Ruth Ware, Lisa Jewell, and Gillian Flynn will be gripped by The Ex.

EXCELLENT!

Great character development.
Very talented author and narrator. Great team.
Can't believe I got this book "for free" from the catalogue.
Am looking forward to her next book, both author and narrator.
Took one star off for swearing. The "F" bomb. But it mostly wasn't excessive and was not put where it shouldn't be. But I personally think swearing is NEVER necessary in any book, ever.
But again, great job.

Lynes and Kennard! Perfection!

I so do love my British physiological thrillers and this is yet another reason why. No doubt that this new Audible book is a winner! A favorite duo of mine, the choice of both S.E. Lynes and Tamsin Kennard brings forth their skills as they work in sync together. The first book I bought that takes place during the COVID lockdown, Lynes weaves a suspenseful and devious tale. Bringing two people together again, we are treated to Kennard’s pitch-perfect vocals of each and every character. I do have a vast collection of both of these talented women and I continue to look for more. This is a story filled with emotional issues including vengeance, lies, trust, sadness, secrets, murder, mind-games along with jaw-dropping surprises around every corner. I couldn’t stop listening. Worth my cherished credit? Indeed! An awesome nod to Lynes, Kennard and those responsible for making this Audible gem available. Epic, I say! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC!

Did Not See That Twist!

This was a really good story. I was engaged and did not see it coming!

Boring

I tried to keep listening in the hopes it would get better. No such luck. I stopped after a few hours of listening. The narrator is great though.

Loved it!

I love S.E. Lynes books and this was a good one. Only complaint is the lead character driving me nuts being too blind and meek, but that is part of the story and the story held my interest totally.

Couldn’t stop listening …

Great book, great narration, really enjoyed till the end! Looking forward to another book by this author.

The title details DO NOT adequately describe the book

The title details, I truly not accurate I kept listening to see if the story would eventually reflect the details. It didn’t. The book was OK. I will say that the reveal took entirely too long and by the time he did get there, I just wanted to hurry up and finish the book. Overall, the book was OK I will say it was saved by the performance of the narrator. The story itself was just OK. I will listen to this author again however, I am hoping the next book will be a little bit better.

Sooo good

I thought this book was sooo good. The narrator was absolutely brilliant. Get it! You will enjoy the ride!

One of my favs

The very very beginning was a little slow. But it quickly drew you in. I loved the main character. Great story

Great narration.

It kept me wanting to listen until the end. I never saw the twist coming!

The ex

Good overall lots of twist sand turns then at .the end wham his world fall apart and everything will never be the same again

I couldn't finish it

omg, I couldn't listen anymore. only got to chapter 4. it was making me so mad. wanted to put her in her place. ( a polite term, for well, you can imagine ).

Not the best

I didn’t really enjoy this book. Found it very slow and not really interesting until towards the end. Story a bit predictable. I turned up the speed to get through it quicker in the end

Easy to read.

I enjoyed the book but found it a bit predictable. Relaxing read, story easy to follow.

Brilliant! What a great listen

A brilliant listen great work Tamsin Kennard and S.E.Lynes. What a team 👍
Great storyline just when you think it can’t get any worse … it does!
What a piece of work!

Gripping

Excellent story and very well narrated by Tamsin as always. I love anything by
S E Lynes

returned after 1st chapter.

this was so predictable I returned it. do not like mention of pandemic at all times also. so depressing. I have almost enjoyed previous Lyness books but her writing has deteriorated. like many authors she is rushing to get books out.
