About this listen

Sometimes the truth is darker than fiction.

Liza Cole has 30 days to write the thriller that could put her back on the best-seller list. In the meantime, she's struggling to start a family with her husband, who is distracted by the disappearance of his best friend, Nick. With stresses weighing her down in both her professional and her personal lives, Liza escapes into writing her latest heroine, Beth.

Beth is a new mother who suspects her husband is cheating on her while she's home alone caring for their newborn. Angry and betrayed, she sets out to catch him in the act and to make him pay for shattering the illusion of their perfect life. But before she realizes it, she's tossing the body of her husband's mistress into the East River.

Then the lines between fiction and reality begin to blur. Nick's body is dragged from the same river, and Liza's husband is arrested for his murder. Before her deadline is up, Liza will have to face up to the truths about the people around her, including herself. If she doesn't, the end of her heroine's story could be the end of her own.

Really enjoyed this, especially considering it was included in the subscription so didn't even cost a credit! I worked out the twist fairly early, but because of how well the book was written, I carried on listening because I wanted to see how it would be revealed, which shows how well written it was. Having two separate narrators was a fantastic idea to be able to seperate the two narratives. Great free listen!

Cleverly written

Overall I enjoyed the story but I did guess the twist. There were far too many references to headaches which annoyed me. The performances were too breathy, and reminded me of a American 80’s soap opera. But once you get passed that it was interesting.
