Summary
Libby has a nice life with a gorgeous husband and a big home by the sea. But over time she is becoming unsure if Jack has ever loved her – and if he is over the death of Eve, his first wife.
When fate intervenes in their relationship, Libby decides to find out all she can about the man she hastily married and the seemingly perfect Eve. Eventually Libby stumbles across some startling truths about Eve, and is soon unearthing more and more devastating family secrets. Frightened by what she finds and the damage it could cause, Libby starts to worry that she too will end up like the first woman Jack loved. . .Tense and moving, The Woman He Loved Before explores if the love you want is always the love you need – or deserve.

Good Book - Good Narration
Let me start by saying that I don't like or read romance, chicklit or the type of books aimed at the female market and I avoided Dorothy Koomson for a long time because I thought her books were on that side of the fence (they aren't). That changed with the Ice Cream Girls I'd missed it in on TV was audibook shopping and thought I'd take a punt and am so glad I did :)
With The Woman He Loved Before I've read or listened and enjoyed all of Dorothy Koomson's books. The quality of story, characters etc is consistent in every book. I like her style of writing which tells the story from different perspectives. The twists and turns in the story are refreshing in oh so many books they are either predictable, unrealistic or foced with a scrabble to tie things up before the end and I'm left wondering why something that seemed an important part back in Chapter 10 is ignored and not resolved - not so with Ms Koomson's books she pays attention to the detail and nothing is ever quite what you think her story flows as a result.
Adjoa Andoh has a beautiful voice not only easy on the ear but pleasing to the ear. Her narration... like the book... just flows. She tops my list as my favourite female narrator and is absolutely the perfect voice for Ms Koomson's books.

A great listen
Loved the characters all full and bold, a real-life telling of where life and love can lead when there is little choice

Excellant listen
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would certainly recommend this book to all my female friends - I usually choose thriller type books, but this one has surprised and thoroughly entertained me. Great story very well narrated, exciting and touching, but not at all soppy!
What other book might you compare The Woman He Loved Before to, and why?
I listened to the Ice Cream Girls before, also enjoyable, better than the tv adaptation, but not as good as the above.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Thrilling modern day tale of life, love and the depths some have to sink to.

Look before you leap
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Excellent but cautionary tale about "look before you leap" when considering a marital proposal. Suspenseful and enjoyable.

Engrossing
This is not the sort of book I usually listen to. However, I was impressed by the reviews both here and on Amazon - and I am glad I took the chance. Although the details of Eve's life are explicit and fairly distasteful, I found this did not detract too much from an engrossing story, well told and much enhanced by the excellent reader.

Love! Love! Love it!!
Amazing! I was sceptical at first thinking it was going to be another romcom-esq book. Koomson had me gripped throughout.

So good
I loved this book. The narrator was excellent - her expressions and the accents and voices she used added so much to an already addictive story. The two main female characters were very likeable and the story moved at a fast pace with no let up. I didn't want to stop listening and was sorry when it was over. Thought provoking, sweet and sinister all in one book!

Loved it!!
This book is amazing, I listened to it in 2 days I just couldn't stop. Don't think I would describe this as chic lit although the first 20 mins is so don't be put off. Its got fantastic characters people I really empathised with, each with their own tale to tell. The narrator is fantastic she brings the people to life
