About this listen

From the creators of Big Little Lies comes The Undoing, a gripping thriller.

'A great psychological thriller ... I couldn't put it down.' Daisy Goodwin

'Gripping . . . had me in its thrall from page one . . . Brilliant.' Metro

A New York Times bestseller

Grace Sachs, a happily married therapist with a young son, thinks she knows everything about women, men and marriage. She is about to publish a book called You Should Have Known, based on her pet theory: women don't value their intuition about what men are really like, leading to serious trouble later on.

But how well does Grace know her own husband? She is about to find out, and in the place of what she thought she knew, there will be a violent death, a missing husband, and a chain of terrible revelations. Left behind in the wake of a very public disaster, and horrified by the ways in which she has failed to heed her own advice, Grace must dismantle one life and create another for herself and her child.

Loved this book. I wanted to read/hear it before watching the film. It is fascnating and makes one think how life becomes busy and speeds past but you are not necessarily making the very best of or even understanding or enjoying it as you could.
Gripping storyline I couldn't wait for my next listening session.

It is a bit slow at the start, but it is a good listen once it gets going.

Took me several goes to come to terms with the pronunciation of “Malaga” especially as it is one of the main characters in the book but otherwise 5 stars

One can't form an opinion when you haven't actually met a character, but I finished this very quickly. I was disappointed in the ending. Not very satisfying. But endings are mostly a disappointment. The journey was great. It's always good to get into the detail of how to recognise a sociopath. I'm not quite there but think I now know the signs a little bit more. Listening to podcasts helps a lot.

Excellent, but would like to have 'met' him.

I loved this subtle intelligent book. From Grace's smug happy marriage and what she thought was a perfect life to her realisation that nothing was as it seemed.

An excellent listen.
