About this listen

"We have a patient who has been involved in a serious accident. We believe he’s your husband."

When Freya first met Phil, she thought he was the man of her dreams. He bought her roses every week, booked surprise trips to sun-soaked destinations, and showed her affection like she’d never experienced before. But over time the dream had become a violent nightmare. And now Freya is packing her bags, knowing it’s time she escaped their increasingly broken marriage.

But then Freya gets a visit from the police. Phil’s been in a horrific car crash and - as he comes around - it becomes clear that he remembers nothing since their blissful honeymoon two years before, back when their relationship was perfect. All he wants is to be happily married again.

Freya knows giving him another chance could be dangerous. But now he’s the one who needs her, it’s a chance to turn the tables and to change the outcome of their relationship once and for all. After all, he will know only what she chooses to tell him....

But what really happened during those two years of marriage? And as they start over again, who is safe? And whose life is in danger?

Fans of The Girl on the Train, Behind Closed Doors, and Date Night will love The Stranger in My Bed.

Good story line. Enjoyed. Would recommend a read. Small twist at the end. Nothing mind blowing but enjoyed the ending

Enjoyable

I liked the storyline a lot, I predicted the ending pretty much from the start but I didn't mind that. I found the narrator quite irritating, the tones of voice she used for characters weren't great and she made freyer seem whining all of the time. The Birmingham accent was terrible that should have been researched with people actually from there!!

Good storyline

Great premise, fantastic narration, I really enjoy Karen’s books and coupled with this particular narrator makes for an enjoyable experience!

I feel there was about 1.5hrs added to the story to bring it up to the minimum length of 7hrs. However nothing new was introduced and it keep going with same old theme for longer than necessary. But I did keep listening to find out what would happen, so maybe that's an above average rating for the story in that case.

Just too long

Wasn’t the best or the worst. Quite a basic premise but kept me listening throughout

Predictable and a little boring
