Summary

Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn's Sharp Objects and Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones, Number One best-selling author Jodi Picoult returns with the deeply moving The Pact.

When Chris wakes up in hospital, Emily is the first person he asks for. She is the love of his life. But Emily is dead, and Chris is the sole witness to what happened in the park that night.

He claims it was a suicide pact: they were both meant to die.

Then the investigation turns up motive for murder, and there is only one suspect....

Good but not Jodi's usual standard

The story is lacking compared to most of her books. The narration as always is excellent. after listening to the story all of Jodi's books are added to my sleep list as the narration voice is great for drifting off to sleep too. Still my fave author for audio books.

Powerful

Another compelling story from Jodi Picoult. She writes these powerful courtroom dramas so well I find it hard to switch them off. It's a shame that this version is abridged.

Great story, just way too short.

Loved the story, just didn't get the character connection typically of picoult as too short.

Page turner in audio

Great story. Intriguing plot. Jodie Picoult always finds a twisting fascinating plot to keep one hooked to the end.

I cried listening to the book!

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes this book was good but I felt it finished to quickly

What other book might you compare The Pact to, and why?

this book could be compared to any Jodi Picoult book

Was The Pact worth the listening time?

Yes definately - but it seemed to finish all of a sudden without a proper ending

NOTE: THIS IS AN ABRIDGED VERSION

I like to listen to the book I am reading sometimes and pick up the novel where I stopped listening. I read the description of this and I must have missed the bit where it says it is abridged. Which it is - heavily! I started to wonder why Picoult’s usual character depth was missing and then I realised it was because massive chunks of the novel were missing g. If you want an easy listen this is good but it isn’t the full version by a long chalk!
