Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.

By the time you read this, I'll have killed one of your husbands.

In an isolated retreat, deep in the Northumberland moors, three women arrive for a weekend away.

This quiet place, far removed from the rest of the world, is exactly what they need to heal their wounds.

Their husbands will be joining them in the morning. Or so they think.

But upon arrival at Dark Fell Barn, the women find a devastating note claiming one of their husbands will be murdered. There are no phones, and no ways of checking on their loved ones.

Friendships fracture as the situation spins wildly out of control. Betrayal can come in many forms.

This group has kept each other's secrets for far too long.

'Fast paced and incredibly compelling' Shari Lapena

Praise for Gilly Macmillan:

'White-knuckled suspense' Tess Gerritsen

'Infused with a creeping sense of dread' Sarah Vaughan

'Dark, tense and very clever' Claire Douglas

'You're in for the twistiest of rides!' Lesley Kara

'Bold, suspenseful and impossible to put down' Samantha Downing

I was recommended this book by a friend and even though the reviews weren’t great, I thought I would give it a go.
The narration is really poor and, as others have mentioned, there are no pauses at all between chapters which becomes really irritating. The narrator also doesn’t put any effort into changing her voice between characters so it’s really hard to work out who is talking and what chapter you are even on. You would think that an author would listen to the audio book and have some sort of sign-off that they are happy with it.
Then there’s the story… the idea is good but this book just doesn’t work. The characters aren’t believable or likeable and some of the writing feels a bit like a story written by a teen at school.
I really wanted to like this, but I don’t think I can bring myself to finish it.

I really tried!

I think audiobooks lay bare a book’s faults. I finished this, so the story must have been compelling up to a point, but the plotting was fractured and all the main characters unliveable. I also found it was written and narrated with an annoyingly entitled tone. I agree with the listener who felt the narration was too fast.

I rarely leave reviews and I can’t ever remember leaving a negative one. But I do wonder how some people get publishing contracts and I wonder if it’s less to do with talent and more with who you know.

Every character is unlikeable

I wasn’t sure what was going on at one point and had to go back over to really get a sense of what Mark was doing but really enjoyed how the story really took flight. Narration was a little fast but I felt like it was trying to keep in with the pace of the story

Twists and turns

I liked the book, it would make a good TV mini series too, but while I would not fault the actress narrator as such, the format meant you didnt realise when you were suddenly listening to a new chapter or plot line. That got a tiresome to be honest. It took me half the book to work out the characters which was distracting.

Good thriller yarn, but format a bit confusing.

There were no pauses between chapters so it was difficult to know when a character perspective changed.
also some of the characters were rather silly , like the woman who had served in the Army and had some weird trauma about it.

Confusing narration
