About this listen

A chilling psychological thriller portraying the disintegration of a relationship down to the deadliest point when murdering your husband suddenly makes perfect sense. A novel perfect for readers of Sophe Hannah, Nicci French, and Barbara Vine.

Todd Gilbert and Jodie Brett are in a bad place in their relationship. They've been together for 28 years, and with no children to worry about there has been little to disrupt their affluent Chicago lifestyle. But there has also been little to hold it together, and beneath the surface lie ever-widening cracks.

He is a committed cheater. She lives and breathes denial. He exists in dual worlds. She likes to settle scores. He decides to play for keeps. She has nothing left to lose. When it becomes clear that their precarious world could disintegrate at any moment, Jodie knows she stands to lose everything. It's only now she will discover just how much she's truly capable of....

What was going on in the minds of the two main characters had me hooked from the start. Story shows how a seemingly ordinary life can get completely out of control. Great listen

Complex characters and beautifully read

The book overall was well written and easy to follow along with. I did however struggle with the narrator, as the characters were all American and the narrator was not. It was harsh to get used to at first with a British accent at first for narration then slipping into bad American accents for the character voices. by chapter 5, I'd allowed myself to overlook this to enjoy the story.

A fun read to follow along with.

half was through I thought this was one of those books that will stay with me. Gripping and well written. But I found that the ending was anticlimactic and few plots just left without conclusion. It could have been brilliant.

The story was great but...

There is a good momentum to this book that maintains interest throughout. There is both moral and narrative ambiguity in the plot and the resolution that is strangely satisfying. I would definitely recommend it.

A thoughtful read.
