About this listen

Libby has a nice life with a gorgeous husband and a big home by the sea. But over time she is becoming unsure if Jack has ever loved her – and if he is over the death of Eve, his first wife.

When fate intervenes in their relationship, Libby decides to find out all she can about the man she hastily married and the seemingly perfect Eve. Eventually Libby stumbles across some startling truths about Eve, and is soon unearthing more and more devastating family secrets. Frightened by what she finds and the damage it could cause, Libby starts to worry that she too will end up like the first woman Jack loved. . .Tense and moving, The Woman He Loved Before explores if the love you want is always the love you need – or deserve.

It starts as a romance and develops into a thriller carrying you along so fast that you find chores to do just so that you can keep listening. Dorothy Koomson seems to get into the very soul of her characters. You live the highs and the lows with the characters until there is nothing but lows, some of which are seriously harrowing. The story of desperation leaves you wondering if you would be so strong as for every good time there seems to be the let down deeper into the mire of hidden suffering each time.

Adjoa Andoh is one of the narrators that I will look for as I cannot be sure if I would have enjoyed the story had I read it myself. She pitches it just right getting the tone of the character she is reading to pitch out the emotion adding a layer that you would not get from the words alone.

This is my second audio book of this pairing - I'll be looking for more.
