Summary
Every marriage has its secrets....
Beth and Tom Hardcastle are the envy of their neighbourhood—they have the perfect marriage, the perfect house, the perfect family.
When the police knock on their door one evening, Beth panics. Tom should be back from work by now—what if he’s crashed his car? She fears the worst.
But the worst is beyond imagining.
As the interrogation begins, Beth will find herself questioning everything she believed about her husband.
They’re saying he’s a monster. And they’re saying she knew.

Not bad
I was quite hooked to this and I do bore easy! I wanted to hear the whole story - but the narration wasn’t right which did ruin it. I didn’t quite believe the female lead as it was read and think it would have been a better read than listen. But I enjoyed the story - if somewhat predictable it was an easy listen and still kept me guessing about some bits. Easy summer read - but forgettable.

Uneventful
Quite liked this book although it was uneventful and a little boring. Easy enough to listen too

Narration wrong
Felt like the narration was very childlike, it did not match the story, I couldn't take it seriously, odd choice, quite liked the book. The most awful grating Scottish accent. Shame.

Almost But Not Quite!
It was an enjoyable book but the writing could have been better in terms of conversation and content. Also the main female narrator sounded too much like she was just reading the words off the page for the first time rather than bringing them alive..

Good page Turner
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Kept me listening constantly, told from killer’s, wife’s and victims’ point of view, was absorbing with a twist towards the end.

Excellent story, but narrator's voice grated
I thought this was a very well-written story and the ending came as a surprise. What spoiled it for me was Beth's ghastly estuary accent, which grated on me from the start. 'Hawp' instead of help, 'himsawf' instead of himself, etc, etc. I look forward to reading more by this author, hopefully with a different narrator ...

Narrator spoiled my enjoyment of this book
I was compelled on to finish as the story was ok. The main problem was the main female narrator.
