From bestselling indie thriller writer Natalie Barelli comes a new deliciously dark novel about a woman who married the man of her dreams, only for him to become her worst nightmare.

Jodie always dreamed of being a housewife. And after a whirlwind romance, she marries renowned psychologist Dr. Roy Davies and moves into his perfect Beverly Hills home. But the fairy tale fades fast. Roy is distant, his friends view her as a gold-digger, and the house still reveres his late wife, Deborah, whose presence still looms over everyone and everything.

When Jodie learns Deborah became a recluse before death, she begins to suspect Roy was behind it. And the deeper she digs, the darker Roy's past appears―obsessive, controlling, unfaithful. Increasingly convinced he had something to do with Deborah's death, Jodie knows she should go to the police, but that would require revealing her own secret. A secret that could destroy her.

But Jodie won't be silenced. Because the truth about Roy is worse than she imagined―and now, trapped in a house built on lies, she must find a way out before she becomes the next perfect wife to vanish.

Easy to follow yet a really good story! Absolutely loved Jodie’s character and the narration in general. The only thing I wasn’t a massive fan of was the husbands voice but it didn’t ruin in for me by any means. Highly recommend

Loved this!

I have listened to over 40 books so far in 2026 and this one tops them all! I listened to it in two days, I simply couldn’t put it down!

With great twists and turns the book is both wonderfully written and narrated. I’m about to ignore the rest of my tbr list to make my way through books by this author lol

Best book I’ve listened to this year!
