About this listen

 The Perfect Couple… A match made in HEAVEN or HELL?

‘Chillingly believable and utterly compelling’ Lucy Foley, No.1 bestselling author of The Hunting Party
‘The perfect summer read. A classy thriller. Stylish, twisty and full of suspense’ Sarah Pinborough, No.1 bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes

When Emily applies for a job as a housekeeper for widower Rupert, it’s a chance to start over – a steady job and regular money means she can work towards her own place, not sharing a grimy flat with old mate, Mags.

As Emily gets to know more about Rupert’s world – how he likes his supper when he comes in from work, who his friends are – she can make sure everything runs like clockwork for him.

Soon there’s a spark between them; Rupert likes Emily and invites her to stay. For good.

To the outside world, they really seem to be a perfect match. There’s just the small issue of what really happened to Rupert’s first wife…

A gripping, razor-sharp game of cat and mouse, from the bestselling author, Lisa Hall.

I did not stop listening to this and was annoyed when I had to. From start to finish I was gripped. A great ending to a riveting plot. Just brilliant. I can’t recommend this enough. I wish all my reads were as good!

awful editing

Loved it. Great plot twists and fascinating characters. None of the characters really seem to be good people, but the book keeps you guessing about who is guilty of exactly what. My first by Lisa Hall, and would read more. Highly recommended.

So compelling

The story itself was good. Perhaps a bit predictable, the editing was awful; how the production company hasn't corrected the many errors in the reading of this book ruined it for me.

Decent story

I wasn't sure about this one as there are a few not so good reviews, but I have to say I really enjoyed it and ended up with my ear buds in my ears whilst doing the housework for two days!

It was easy to follow and I didn't have to go back once because my interest had dwindled, a sure sign that I was invested in the story.

The narrator was good but sadly the editing wasn't brilliant as the same lines were frequently repeated but in a different manner, these should have been sorted out and it did become annoying after a while.

The ending was really good though and things were tied up nicely, so all in all it was a terrific read! Nice one.

Surprisingly good fiction but not so good editing.
