The Last Lie

De: Alex Lake

Narrado por: Laura Kirman

The twisty psychological thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of After Anna and Seven Days

Everyone lies…but some lies are deadly.

For Claire Daniels, life is good. She has everything she’s ever wanted – a career she loves, friends she can rely on and a husband who dotes on her. All she needs is to start a family of her own and things will be even better than good.

They’ll be perfect.

For Alfie, it couldn’t be more different. His life with Claire is built on a lie. A lot of lies. And she can never find out.

Because Alfie has plans for her. Plans which must never come to light. But lies have a way of taking on a life of their own, and when his do, the consequences threaten to destroy everything.

Twist Revenge Narcissism Hate Love

Interesting example of karma and revenge and no self awareness . Great narration Characters kept at minimum

Loved it.

Very good book. Good domestic thriller, which I love and held my interest the whole way through. Good narrator too.

Overall Good Listen

A little predictable and drawn out, but overall enjoyable. Characters, Claire and Alphie are both evil geniuses.

Splendid! (

Loved this story! I had thought I'd figured it out fairly early, and I had, but that made it such a PERFECT experience! If you're a woman who has ever been in an abusive relationship .... (spoiler alert). This is the kind of book that makes you giggle evil while you clench your bum-checks and scream... "YES, GIRL! DO IT FOR ALL OF US WHO COULDN'T OR WOULDN'T (because we don't live in novels where we can ignore our own morals and bullshit laws that never protect us but would happily convict us)!"
Freaking satisfying!

A couple of very good twists

I’m glad I didn’t listen to the negative reviews and went ahead and listened. Enjoyed it very much. Was it perfect? No, few books are. Was there anything in the story I would have liked to be different? The ending I would have done a little differently, but it worked as it is.
I really enjoyed the narration done by Laura Kirman. In fact I will look for more books narrated by her. She had j

Predictable Story Overall

If this was the first book of this kind, I probably would have gone with the twists & turns but sadly this one was spelled out easily for me. The narrator did an excellent job. Will be looking for her again.

Well worth it!

Great suspense! Might have made a few tweaks at the end, but good character development & great plot. Will certainly listen to more from this author.

Excellent read

Loved the story line - kept you guessing til the end. Great narration - accents, tone, pacing.

Twisted!

I love it when a book takes a turn and everything flips! This one did it perfectly!
