Publisher's summary

Ten years ago he killed my son. Today I married him.

Ten years ago my darling son Jesse was murdered and our perfect family was destroyed. My strong, handsome boy, so full of life, became a memory, a photo I carried with me everywhere.

But today I’m finally close to finding happiness again. My ash-blonde hair has been curled into ringlets. Carefully placed white flowers frame my delicate features. The small, drab chapel has been prettied up with white satin, and there are tiny red hearts scattered on the small table where I will soon sign the register with my new husband.

The man who killed my son.

My friends and family can’t understand it. My neighbours whisper in the street whenever I walk past. How can I love a man like Tom?

They don’t really know me at all....

The most enthralling psychological thriller you’ll listen to this year from the best-selling author K.L. Slater. If you love The Wife Between Us or Gone Girl, you’ll be totally hooked on The Marriage.

Couldn’t stop listening!

Usually I use audio books for my commute to and from work since I have an hour each way. I can’t remember the last time I continued listening throughout the day and night but this one I couldn’t stop. So many twists and turns with outcomes you never saw it coming. The narration was amazing. This was the best book I’ve listen to in years!

Slow start but the plot twist reels you in

The story overview immediately intrigued me however I advanced forward in the first couple of chapters because it was so slow. But once the prevalent characters were revealed the journey began. This book tugs at every emotion you didn’t even know you had. Some things were unnecessarily drawn out which is why I gave it four stars but overall it’s a good read. The audacity of the love story and actions of the characters makes it a page turner.

I Enjoyed This Book

Spoiler Alert: I enjoyed this book. I thought the main character would be seeking revenge for the death of her son. However, the story unfolded in a rather unpredictable manner, which made it enjoyable.

Mix up of names

Interesting story, a few twists I wasn’t expecting. Definitely enjoyed it! Although, about chapter 46 or 48 the narrator says “Richard” rather than “Robert” when referring to a character. (There’s no Richard in the story.)
