About this listen

She made her bed. You’ll lie in it.

Rebecca only wanted to help out - to be kind. Richard seemed so alone after his wife, Nicole, died, and Rebecca wanted to make sure he knew he had someone on whom to rely.

But now, she’s in Nicole’s immaculate house. Drinking from her favourite crystal wine glass. Keeping shoes in her orderly closet. Comforting her sweet and grieving stepdaughter. It feels like Rebecca is living another woman’s life.

And as she gets to know the neighbours, Rebecca hears stories that make her wonder: Was free-spirited Nicole happy in this perfect life, or did she feel trapped? Did she feel, as Rebecca is beginning to, that something wasn’t quite right?

The story everyone’s talking about! If you loved The Girl on the Train, The Wife Between Us and The Girl Before, you’ll be totally gripped and unable to put down this twisty pause-resisting psychological thriller.

Unusual, gripping, far fetched.
This book was all of the above, very unbelievable but then again, aren't most books? If they were too ordinary, they would be humdrum and boring!.
Would you REALLY move in with your deceased best friends husband so soon after her death?? Rebecca even stayed the night of the funeral - even though she had never met the man before in her life!! Would you??
Yet, at the same time as being far fetched, I just has to keep on listening, desperate to hear the story develop and how it would all end. I guessed halfway through that the relationship between Richard and Olivia was not all it seemed.
The final couple of chapters were the most bizarre and unbelievable and I didn't quite know what to make of Rebecca's sudden complete change of personality (?)
I realise that I have given this book quite a lot of negative criticism, but I did actually enjoy the book and would also recommend it.

Exciting, even though very unbelievable!

A predictable story. The narrators style irritated me, it was very off putting, very like Frank Spencer so took away the drama from the story.

A predictable story, lacking in any twists or turn

Very good beginning with the potential to be an excellent book sadly the conclusion was messy and silly

This book is absolutely brilliant!! Couldn't stop listening. Although I thought I'd guessed some of the premis, I. Was happily mistaken. The narrator had an excellent array of voices and the story was superb. Not one to miss!!!

If you read any book this year.. Make it this one!
