About this listen

Laura's on the verge of living the life she's always wanted. At the age of twenty-seven, she put her career plans on hold, married handsome widower Peter Foster, settled down in his Silicon Valley home, and helped raise his two children.

Twelve years later, its her turn to shine. Her career is thriving, the kids are out of the house, Peter's company is on the verge of an FDA approval that could garner a windfall in stock gains for them, and she's training for the Kona Ironman. But when a series of freak accidents can no longer be chalked up to bad luck, it becomes clear that someone is out to get her. Is it someone from work, jealous of her promotion? Or is it perhaps someone more dangerous? Someone closer to home?

Laura has no enemies that she knows of, but she senses that husband Peter is keeping secrets. And when she starts digging into the family's past, a twisted and unsettling story starts to slowly reveal itself. But with the walls closing in on her, she needs to find out why someone would want to harm herand what really happened to his first wife. Before it's too late.

Critic reviews

"Building on the success of tense mysteries like Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl (2012), author Bonnie Traymore has crafted a deliciously unsettling domestic thriller with her new novel The Stepfamily." - BookTrib

Great story, which is why I stuck through it till the end. But the narration is awful. Every sentence she spoke sounded like a question. I have avoided other books that she had narrated since.
Very distracting and off putting

Why is everyone sentence a question?

I left this after a few chapters due to the awful narration and unbelievable characters or story. After a few weeks, I started listening at a faster speed because I had a problem downloading my new book. Painful, whiney voice of the narrator. I wouldn't recommend this book.

Unbelievable

This kept my attention throughout and I really enjoyed listening to it. I liked the way the different perceptives were used, there were elements that I didn't understand ie the stock markets that I had to look up. But that didn't stop my enjoyment.

The narration really suited the story.

really enjoyable and twisty

Good mystery to keep you guessing as bits of information from the characters past are introduced as the story develops. Nicely narrated to keep you engaged.

Good family with a history drama

Very average family drama. Definitely not a psychological thriller. The narrator had a very annoying voice and the pace was slow and tiring. I'm sorry, but I didn't enjoyed the story...

Slow paced family drama, not a psychological thriller
