About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Natalie has spent ten years trying to get over the twin set of events which changed her life forever.

The first: the moment her boss assaulted her. The second: the moment the jury declared him innocent - and her, a liar.

The memories continue to haunt Natalie, and in her attempts to block out the past, she often wakes up with no memory of where she’s been – or what she’s done.
So when her husband, Ryan, gets accused of the same crime, Natalie comes perilously close to the edge.

Natalie wants to believe him. But when the body of the young woman who made the accusation is found in the woods near their house, Ryan becomes a prime suspect, and Natalie realises she can't trust anyone - herself included...

'An accomplished crime debut...this is a must read' Jo Callaghan

Critic reviews

'A really strong debut with loads of twists and turns to keep you guessing and flipping the pages!' (Sarah Pinborough)

'A wonderfully tantalising novel, layered, with characters who guide you with every step towards the devastating conclusion. A fabulous debut' (Sam Holland)

'Simmering with tension, secrets and dark intrigue, Believe is an utterly compulsive thriller. A clever, classy and addictive read with characters that get under your skin and a twist that will knock you sideways. An utter triumph' (A.A. Chaudhuri)

"Believe is absolutely stunning. The very definition of a page turner. A thought-provoking mystery, brimming with suspense, it twists and writhes into an accomplished psychological thriller that maintains its emotional power, as well as its pace, from first page to last. What a debut! S.M. Govett is one to watch (Janice Hallett)

"Believe had me wondering which way was up as I tried to work out whodunnit! A properly good, tense thriller which had me guessing until the end (Jennie Godfrey)"

"What a strong debut this is! You won't put it down once you start","Propulsive and provocative, taut and timely – that rare thriller you can’t read fast enough then can’t debate long enough. Too many crime novels play it safe; here’s one that makes choices, takes risks, and breaks ground, and readers of Lisa Jewell, Freida McFadden, Harlan Coben and Gillian McAllister will love it (A.J. Finn)"

This is a great example of an unreliable narrator! I've enjoyed following along, trying to pick up clues and see if I can catch any twists coming. It really kept me on my toes and I finished it in no time. I think it would make a perfect holiday read as it was super easy to get through.
I also thought the narrators did a great job!

unreliable narrator done well
