Woman with a Secret

A Novel

By: Sophie Hannah

Narrated by: David Thorpe, Julia Barrie

Published in the UK as The Telling Error

Lisa Gardner calls it "mesmerizing." Liane Moriarty says it's "unpredictable, unputdownable, and unlike anything you've read before." See for yourself what these #1 New York Times-bestselling authors are talking about.

She's a wife.

She's a mother.

She isn't who you think she is.

Nicki Clements has secrets, just like anybody else—secrets she keeps from her children, from her husband, from everyone who knows her. Secrets she shares with only one person: A stranger she's never seen. A person whose voice she's never heard.

And then Nicki is arrested for murder. The murder of a man she doesn't know.

As a pair of husband-and-wife detectives investigate her every word, and as the media circle like sharks, all Nicki's secrets are laid bare—illusions and deceptions that she has kept up for years. And even the truth might not be enough to save her. For although Nicki isn't guilty of homicide, she's far from innocent. . . .

For fans of The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl, and the best of Hitchcock comes an extraordinary thriller—and an extraordinarily unreliable narrator—from an author whose work has been described by Tana French as "like watching a nightmare come to life."

disappointed

I couldn't get into this book from the start. It drove me insane listening to the email exchanges. The preformers were the only good thing for me.

hard to get into story

interesting story once I finally figured out what was going on. it switched back & forth a lot between the main characters ... solution to the mystery was convoluted & no way for the reader to figure out until it was explained.

Not the high light of my summer book list

I can't get past the fact that the "main character," who tells much of the story in the first person, is in fact a side figure . The woman does not even rate a wrap up if her final adventure. I also hated listening to each email being read through with date, name and email address through many exchanges in a row. Poo

Well done story with psychological insights into relationships

I began listening to this story, and couldn’t make it through the first chapter, as it sounded uninspired...but it is for a Book Club discussion so I tried again a week later. By the second chapter I was hooked!
I thoroughly enjoyed this — it was an unpredictable story, right on to the last few minutes.
It was easy to understand Nikki, the main character, why she did what she did.
Through this book, learned a bit about some of my own relationships.
Would highly recommend it to any open-minded person.
Definitely glad I listened to it.

Tedious, could not get into the story at all!!

Intro takes forever, kept waiting for something to grab my interest, one of a few books I did nit want to finish!!
