Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of Sticks and Stones by Jo Jakeman.
Imogen’s husband is a bad man. His ex-wife and his new mistress might have different perspectives, but Imogen thinks she knows the truth. And now he’s given her an ultimatum: get out of the family home in the next fortnight or I’ll fight you for custody of our son.
In a moment of madness, Imogen does something unthinkable: she locks her husband in the cellar. Now she’s in control. But how far will she go to protect her son and punish her husband? And what will happen when his ex and his girlfriend get tangled up in her plans?
Sticks and Stones is a deliciously twisting psychological thriller from an unforgettable new voice.

Loved it!
I devoured this book. I disagree entirely with the reviewer who said it was too long and far fetched. In my opinion, not a word is wasted. There was more action than one might find in real life, but I never found it implausible. The characters are all highly engaging. It romps along and is a really satisfying read. The ending is also good, with all loose ends tied-up. An excellent debut novel. I very much look forward to the author’s next work.

Gripping read - 5 STARS
This book was excellent, it was a the true definition of a psychological thriller, twists and turns ensured you were itching to turn the next page. Nice to read a book where I enjoyed each character. Narrator was well chosen and brought the story to life. Highly recommend this book, I’m going to search the author for more books.

Far too long
This book takes on the difficult subject of domestic violence and mental bullying - but I found a lot of the storyline unrealistic and went on far too long
Not for me

Not believable
I did not enjoy this book as I did not find the main character believable. I’m 100% sure if I had been in her shoes I would have acted very differently.
Sorry to say but I don’t recommend this book

Okay
A story about domestic violence that is just a little unbelievable. I did enjoy the story but I have to agree with one of the readers who said it went on too long. It was okay but not the greatest read.

Tolerably interesting spoilt by abject narration
Book was fine, not great literature by any measure but passed the time. Would have been improved if the narrator had had a grasp of the written language. The pronunciation was deplorable. A little homework on words she had not come across before would not have gone amiss.

Disagreeable violence against woman ...
I quite enjoyed the first part of the story but found myself unwilling to continue and the violence and threat levels increased in a disagreeable way. I’m not sure how the author might have managed the dynamic elements of the narrative without introducing graphic descriptions of violence. But I think it would have been better if she tried a bit harder.
