The Honeymoon

By: Shalini Boland

Narrated by: Clare Corbett

It was the perfect romantic honeymoon. Until her husband disappeared.

It was supposed to be the happiest time of their lives. But for newlywed Stella, the dream honeymoon has turned into a nightmare overnight. Her perfect husband, Austin, has vanished without a trace.

Alone in Venice, Stella frantically searches for him. But as fear turns into confusion, she finds herself questioning everything she knows about the man she married. Has Austin really abandoned her, or has someone from his past finally caught up with him—the business partner he threatened to sue? The obsessive ex-girlfriend who refuses to let go? When Stella becomes convinced someone is following her, panic sets in.

As hours turn into days and clues start to unravel dark secrets, a terrified Stella can’t help but ask herself: is her husband who she thought he was at all?

Was good

The story was good, narration was engaging. I love the accent 😂😂 finished the book in one day.

Shocking ending!

This is a great story that kept me guessing right up to the twisty unpredictable ending! Loved it!!
Performance was also on point!

Unexpected twist!

Well done small book. I think it is a well-written suspenseful mystery that I am glad I downloaded from the catalog to try. I believe the ending was very lackluster though. I didn't see the conclusion of the disappearance coming. I suspected the ex had more involvement than she did. It was a great distraction and easy listen. I am giving it a 3.5 star rating and will be looking for more books by this author.

I thought it would be predictable, I was wrong.

The minute I started this book I thought OK I’ve already figured out what’s going on and how it’s going to end. But I was wrong and I’m happy I was wrong because it’s actually quite a good book. Nice twist at the end. That’s all I’ll say because I don’t wanna spoil it for anyone.

Great epilogue, didn’t expect it!

I didn’t like the main character because I felt she ignored a lot of red flags.. I was annoyed with her & felt the story bored me because of it but I would still recommend this book. Loved the epilogue

Twists I never saw coming, Shalini is a master...

Worth it! shocking twists, great narration...good book all round. The writer seldim has dissapoint me...good work!

Wow So Good!

I’m not sure why it never occurred to me but wow! When I can’t figure things out prior to the ending - then it’s a great story. I was so caught up in the plot and the characters, I really was blown away by the ending. And then there is the epic final twist! So good I listened straight thru!

Narration was also great. Various character accents and emotions were seamlessly conveyed!!

What a twist!

Very well narrated. Great story and great ending i never saw coming. shalini boland great job looking forward to reading more by this aauthor.

Good Twist!

Enjoyed the storyline as well as the narrator’s voice and delivery. Great twist at end!

Wowzza!!!

The book started off a little slow, then it picked up steam. I'm usually very good at figuring out what the plot twist is before the middle of the book — this time I didn’t figure it out until closer to the end. Although I figured out the what had been happening, the epilogue ending totally caught me by surprise! This one really kept my interest. I highly recommend. 🌟
