The Hand That Feeds You

A Novel

De: A.J. Rich

Narrado por: Ann Marie Lee

“An unnerving, elegant page-turner” (Vanity Fair) of psychological suspense about a woman in an intense sexual relationship with a man who turns out to be a predator—by celebrated writers Amy Hempel and Jill Ciment writing as A.J. Rich.

Morgan, thirty, is completing her thesis on victim psychology and newly engaged to Bennett, a man more possessive than those she has dated in the past, but also more chivalrous—and the sex is hot. She returns from class one day to find Bennett brutally mauled to death, and her beloved dogs covered in blood.

When Morgan tries to locate Bennett’s parents to tell them about their son’s hideous death, she discovers that everything he has told her—where he was born, where he lives in Montreal, where he works—was a lie. He is not the man he said he was, and he had several fiancées, all believing the same promises he gave Morgan. And then, one by one, these other women are murdered. Morgan’s research into Bennett has taken on new urgency: in order to stay alive, she must find out how an intelligent woman like herself, who studies predators, becomes a victim.

For readers of Girl on a Train and Luckiest Girl Alive, this “twisty, unsettling thriller” (The New York Times) is an “irresistible” (Vogue) collaboration between two outstanding writers. “The Hand That Feeds You goes from zero to terrifying in about five pages…Once this thriller gets its teeth into you, it doesn’t let go” (The Tampa Bay Times).

super read

I heard about this book on npr. (well I think it was npr) and just had to read it.

Don't worry about the death that kicks off the story there is tons of dog love in this book. It isn't about bad dogs only bad owners.

Excellent!

This was an amazing story! If you like thrillers and want something where u can't stop listening... Buy this one! Amazing! Gripping edge of the seat book!! Loved it!!!

Didn't relate to the main character

The basic plot was good and the suspense was just about right. The main character was weak and whiny and that made her not very likable in my opinion. Made me just want to scream at her near the end. The narrator did a good job so the listen was good.

Great listen.

Keeps you on the edge of your car seat. A great car companion. Will keep you tninking.

Good book overall.

A little predictable but entertaining nonetheless. I would definitely recommend this book to mystery fans!
