About this listen

The Liar's Chair is Rebecca Whitney's stunning psychological thriller debut set in Brighton.

Rachel Teller and her husband, David, appear happy, prosperous and fulfilled. The big house, the successful business... They have everything. However, control, not love, fuels their relationship, and David has no idea his wife indulges in drunken indiscretions.

When Rachel kills a man in a hit-and-run, the meticulously maintained veneer over their life begins to crack. Destroying all evidence of the accident, David insists they continue as normal. Rachel, though, is racked with guilt, and as her behaviour becomes increasingly self-destructive, she not only inflames David's darker side but also uncovers her own long-suppressed memories of shame.

Can Rachel confront her past and atone for her terrible crime? Not if her husband has anything to do with it....

A startling, dark and audacious novel set in and around the Brighton streets, The Liar's Chair will keep listeners on the edges of their seats until the final second has ticked away. A stunning psychological portrait of a woman in a toxic marriage, Rebecca Whitney's debut will show that sometimes the darkest shadow holds the truth you have been hiding from.

This book was a really slow start but worth persevering with. Good narration. The character Rachel seemed a really awful person but has the story unfolded you realised why and started to feel for her. Ultimately I really enjoyed this audio book

Slow start but worth persevering

The nicest character in the story is a drug dealer. The story was relatively engaging and I did finish it. But if someone had finished off the "heroine" I wouldn't have been sorry to see her go.

Unpleasant characters without exception
