White Bodies

A Novel

De: Jane Robins

Narrado por: Camilla Arfwedson

A Good Housekeeping “Great Read”

This “deliciously creepy psychological thriller” (Publishers Weekly)—think Strangers on a Train for the modern age—explores the dark side of love and the unbreakable ties that bind two sisters together.

Felix and Tilda seem like the perfect couple: young and in love, a financier and a beautiful up-and-coming starlet. But behind their flawless façade, not everything is as it seems.

Callie, Tilda’s unassuming twin, has watched her sister visibly shrink under Felix’s domineering love. She has looked on silently as Tilda stopped working, nearly stopped eating, and turned into a neat freak, with mugs wrapped in Saran Wrap and suspicious syringes hidden in the bathroom trash. She knows about Felix’s uncontrollable rages, and has seen the bruises on the white skin of her sister’s arms.

Worried about the psychological hold that Felix seems to have over Tilda, Callie joins an internet support group for victims of abuse and their friends. However, things spiral out of control and she starts to doubt her own judgment when one of her new acquaintances is killed by an abusive man. And then suddenly Felix dies—or was he murdered?

A page-turning work of suspense that announces a stunning new voice in fiction, White Bodies will change the way you think about obsession, love, and the violence we inflict on one another—and ourselves.

Lived it!!

Maybe not so much “thriller” but absolutely psychological intensity.
I loved the flow of the story, and will definitely look for more of Jane Robbins work.
Worth the credit and worth the time.

Just ok.

The idea of the book was great and quite original. However, I did not find the main character likable. I thought she was strange. I did not enjoy the ending of this book, but who ever agrees with an ending of a book? Performance was great - narrator was great with different accents of the characters. But as a whole, this book was just okay for me.

Not my cup of tea

I really enjoy a psychological thriller, but I found the story line weak and dull.

Gripping

This book was so good! I've been disappointed with many thriller/mysteries lately. This was hard to press pause on. So many twists and turns. I was rooting for the main character throughout to find what she was looking for. The narrator also did a great job with different accents.

Who is Being Abused?

Twin sisters with complicated lives. One is really nosy, going through the other's trash. A young husband ends up dead: heart defect or murder. A fast read with multiple twists.
