The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

A year later, the Lovegoods throw a housewarming party, showing off the results of their renovation. Ava doesn’t want to go.

Sometimes her past still hurts: losing her mother early, growing up in foster care. But her husband, Simon, is always there. A successful surgeon, he’s the envy of every woman they’ve ever met. Flowers, gifts, trips to France: nothing is too good for his family. Then Simon says another woman’s name. The way he lingers on it, Caroline, gives Marianne a shudder of suspicion, but she knows it’s nothing - she can’t entertain this flash of paranoia.

Everyone is hiding a secret. One of them is murder. The book club was her idea, of course. It was her way into our group. A chance to get close. I knew from the day she arrived that she couldn't be trusted. And I was right. Alice didn't come to the village for peace and quiet. She came for revenge. A deliciously addictive psychological thriller about a book club that unravels dark and scandalous secrets between one circle of neighbours.

Publisher's Summary
Me and Will. Will and Me. A perfect match. He said he would always be there for me, but it’s been a year since he drained his coffee, walked out the front door and vanished.
Did he leave me? Or did something terrible happen? I’m scared someone finally found out about what happened on the drive home that night...
I lie awake at night trawling the internet for rental properties, desperate for an escape. Until I see my husband’s gorgeous face smiling back at me from a photograph on the fireplace in someone else’s home, and something inside of me snaps.
At the house, I find no trace of him and the woman who lives there has no idea who I am. But I’m certain she’s hiding something behind the locked door upstairs. I know that if I want answers, I have to stay.
You might think that what’s inside that room is the answer to all my questions and the end of all my pain. But it’s only the beginning…
Nail-biting and completely gripping, The Happy Couple will make you question how well you really know the ones you love. Perfect listening for anyone who adored The Wife Between Us, The Girl on the Train or Gone Girl.

Spoiler Alert!
The ending was so far fetched and I likely would have rated this book higher, had JoJo made a rational, realistic choice. It was unsettling she did not even give a thought to Simon. Ugh, anyway, the plot was twisty indeed but when Suzanne locked JoJo and then Louise in the room, the reason was not given and was far-fetched because she was not "unhinged" as the author kept insinuating and then flipped a switch at the end and she and JoJo became besties. Louise's reaction, or lack thereof to the revelation and subsequent conflict was totally unrealistic, avoiding and refusing to even aknowledge her "best friend" and the utter betrayal she committed. "Friends since schoolmates," and not a single word neither in her defense or conformation and to say nothing made me want to chuck my phone out the window. So over it and not worth the money spent.

interesting
This was an interesting story in ways. It seemed like it was going the typical cheating husband and all that then it surprised me. I will say she kind of made a lot of presumptions with only a little bit of information. It made me roll my eyes more than a few times. Overall a pretty good read and a step above the typical British psychological thrillers I seem to be addicted to.

I didn’t hate the book but main character is shamefully annoying!
This is not the worst book that I have listened to. However, I have read many psychological thrillers with annoying main characters but this main character takes the cake! “Joe” is just so irritating, weak, and unrealistic. Eh! Self involved to the nth degree! Book is just fine; the pace is a bit slow. I didn’t hate it.

I Just Don’t Know
I just don’t know where to begin with this one. I was expecting so much more from the book after listening to the first few chapters but it fell short for me. The main character, Jo, is so in love with Will that it’s sad. Every bad thing the man does is excused by her. It’s very frustrating. This is also more of a drama than a thriller or mystery.

Kept me involved for days in lockdown
The Happy Couple is most pleasantly narrated by Ellie Heydon. She has a sweet, calm and attractive voice, but sadly isn't right when speaking as in a male character, as Simon or Will. She makes her voice hoarse and rough for them but it doesn't work. I wish the production team could insert a man's voice for those occasions. Simon is a smashing chap, strong and sensible, with no side, but he sounds like a twit.
The plot is full of twists and turns, sometimes I really wanted to shout at Jo, I wished she would wake up and stop being so silly and self centred. Slow, too, at times to think others, often strangely speaking her last thoughts out loud, definitely selfish and full of 'I want'. There are two sides to every story and we got them sorted by the end. I enjoyed it a lot, I am only nit picking about the voices really. Worth a listen!

Great; already downloaded another by the author
This listen was so well-written that I immediately downloaded another book by Samantha Hayes.
It combined the two elements I enjoy most in crime fiction - the early part laid down all the clues we needed to solve the mystery, and the final part was in the best tradition of domestic noir, with twists and surprises and an element of fear.
It's a four star for me rather than a five-star only because I personally didn't like the main character and narrator, Jo. She's just so tedious and whiny, and originally determined to make out that everything in her relationship was wonderful when, quite clearly, it was anything but.
However, you may not find her so irritating - some of my dislike, I'm sure, comes from my inbuilt class prejudice - she and her friends are a bit too middle class and entitled for my tastes, but I suspect that they wouldn't put off some others.
In any case, we don't have to like characters to love a book, and The Happy Couple is a great example of this. Samantha Hayes kept me reading, through Jo's whines about being abandoned by her husband, the bizarre decision she makes not to call her police liaison officer when she notices her husband's photos on a fireplace in a picture of a house available for housesitting, and through her weird choice not to even tell the friendly local police officer when she discovers the homeowner's obvious obsession with her missing husband.
I just kept on wondering, "What's happened in the car? Why's she so afraid to take it to the garage for a service? What or whom has she or her husband run over?" and those questions drove me forward through the narrative, guessing some of the answers correctly and some incorrectly. And the denouement was simply edge-of-the-seat stuff.
Looking forward to the next one, which, as I say, I've already downloaded, and happy to have discovered such a good new-to-me crime author.

first time I've read by this author
it was a reasonable story, at least not predictable. although some reviews were a little overly enthusiastic for the suspenseful story, which is was not.
I would try other books by this author, but I will pay attention to the reader reviews. it was not a page turner, but was ok.
Michael Robothom is still my favourite, and the author of Dark matter can not compare to how they build the story and suspense.

Terrible
I don’t leave reviews but I want to avoid others wasting their money. Boring story, weak female characters that are so wet it’s untrue and the most inevitable “twist” possible. It’s a two star because the narrator was pretty good considering what she had to read.

Story
I haven’t lived here long. The house is small and a little run-down, but each piece of faded floral wallpaper I peel away feels like unwrapping the second chance I never thought I’d get. I’m finally free to wear what I want, and I don’t flinch when I accidently burn dinner. My new home is warm, and the kids are safe inside. Anywhere would feel idyllic after the nightmare marriage I’ve just escaped.

This is not the happy family you think. The fire crackles, my son smiles, the man jokes whilst I pour drinks. But my husband has disappeared. The man is a stranger. My skin crawls every time he brushes my hand. He says if I don’t play along, he has photos that will destroy my family. What happened the night before my husband disappeared - the night I don’t remember?
