‘Wow I loved this book, every word on every page, a brilliant page turner! *****’ Goodreads reviewer

A gripping debut psychological thriller about the dark secrets in a perfect marriage. For fans of Shari Lapena.

I ended my marriage for a man who didn’t exist…

I have everything money can buy. I’m a good wife, but sometimes I feel trapped. And when I start an affair with a stranger called Ewan, my life changes in ways I can’t begin to understand.

Because Ewan breaks apart my marriage piece by piece and then he just disappears. He uses a fake name and leaves no trace behind; it’s like he doesn’t even exist.

Someone did this to me and now they’re waiting for me to unravel, watching my every move. I can’t trust anyone, not even myself – not even the people I love.

Reader

I especially want to say that the woman who read the narrator’s part has an exquisite voice. The best I have heard after listening to audible books for four years. The story itself has the right amount of twists and seems believable. One of the better domestic thrillers.

Entertaining

It kept me coming back for more. I thought things unfolded well and while none of the characters are very likable, they’re interesting.

None of this gonna happen, but still good!

Overall, I liked this one. Far fetched? Yes. Lots of moving pieces that may not always effortlessly fit together? Yes. But it keeps you guessing, the narration is good, and it’s worth a credit or buying on sale.

Excellent Narration

Jess Nesling does an amazing job narrating this story. Perfect pauses, clear pronunciations, great at changing voice for each character. Great job!

The story itself was a pretty good one, quite entertaining, even funny at times. I wish the ending could’ve been stretched out a bit more because I so was not ready for the story to end yet. Maybe there’ll be another story with Charlotte, Daniel, & Melody…….

Great!!

I loved this book! Definitely some heart-pounding moments…not predictable ..great character development. Worth a credit for sure!
