About this listen

The sensational new psychological thriller from the internationally best-selling author of The Girl Before.

Claire Wright likes to play other people.

A British drama student, in New York without a green card, Claire takes the only job she can get: working for a firm of divorce lawyers, posing as an easy pick-up in hotel bars to entrap straying husbands.

When one of her targets becomes the subject of a murder investigation, the police ask Claire to use her acting skills to help lure their suspect into a confession. But right from the start, she has doubts about the part she's being asked to play. Is Patrick Fogler really a killer.... Or the only decent husband she's ever met? And is there more to this set-up than she's being told?

And that's when Claire realises she's playing the deadliest role of her life....

Critic reviews

"Imaginative, unusual, clever and fun." (Sunday Times)

If 'The Girl Before' were a clean delineated Rothko, then 'Believe Me' is a frenetic Jackson Pollock.
There is so much going on in this book, that until the end, you're never quite sure what to believe, or who. Which I suppose is the point! A jolly well made point too :)
Whilst the plot is pretty implausible, it's still a very exciting story that I just couldn't stop listening to. Having worked in psychological profiling before, I found the parts based upon behavioural analysis good fun. I very much look forward to more by JP Delaney.
First class narration from all involved, crazy, twisty story, poor audio editing. There are at least 3 whole sections of chapters that are duplicated during the recording. Whilst it is something that can be overlooked, it does take you out of the story somewhat while you figure out what's gone wrong. I do hope that Audible fix their recording and re-upload it for future listeners.
Please do not allow the recording oversight to deter you from purchasing this book.

Don't perform, act.

I’m half way through and trying to hard to enjoy it. But it’s very boring. I really want to like it but feel like just skipping to the end

Not so good

First of all I have to say the cast, especially the main actress are excellent. I was totally absorbed in the characters and the story, it is brilliant the way it twists and turns and keeps you guessing.

Probably the best psychological thriller I’ve listened to.

Unpredictable and brilliant

it is a very strange unrealistic story with very annoying accents. Not as good as The Girl Next Door.

strange

A cleverly constructed novel which explores extreme human characteristics some of which are repellant to a lot of people. I was fascinated in a ghoulish way which I found disturbing. The author is obviously very talented but I hope the next book of hers that I read does not end with a feeling that I had been somewhere I did not want to go.

Very dark
