About this listen

 ‘The perfect thriller’ Elle ‘Immensely gripping’ Sophie Hannah ‘Gripping, creepy and very addictive!’ BA Paris

‘He’s so handsome and clever and romantic. I just wished he hadn’t forced Tilda under the water and held her there so long.’

Callie loves Tilda. She’s her sister, after all. And she’s beautiful and successful.

Tilda loves Felix. He’s her husband. Successful and charismatic, he is also controlling, suspicious and, possibly, dangerous. Still, Tilda loves Felix.

And Callie loves Tilda. Very, very much.

So she’s determined to save her. But the cost could destroy them all…

Sometimes we love too much.

Critic reviews

‘White Bodies will keep you up all night and have you turning to your sleeping soulmate with the thought, “Who ARE you?”’ Julie Burchill

‘This book is immensely gripping – kept me on the edge of my sun lounger all day, till I got to the end’ Sophie Hannah

‘Gripping, creepy and very addictive!’ BA Paris

'A totally absorbing and compelling read – loved it! At the halfway point, it made me gasp out loud and I couldn’t turn the pages quick enough to find out what happened.' Sue Fortin

‘An incredibly compelling, horribly believable tale of obsession, sisterhood and the mental rabbit holes that can creep up on us all.’ Phoebe Morgan

‘White Bodies is a masterpiece of manipulation – a dark and twisting exploration of a complicated love that's at once pure, corrupt, and blinding, with an ending that's as inevitable as it is unexpected. It's not often I read a novel and wish I'd written it. This is that book. A triumph!’ Karen Dionne

‘Breathless, sharp and dark. White Bodies is hard not to obsess over.’ Ross Armstrong

I deliberated for a while over the rating for this book. It is well written, twisty and goes along at a good pace. It kept me interested throughout, but (as another reviewer said on Amazon), there is something missing and I can’t put my finger on what it is! Nevertheless, I enjoyed it and the narration was excellent.

Doesn’t Quite Hit The Mark!

After three non-fiction books (two of them historical crime), Jane Robbins has produced a psychological thriller which melds influences most obviously of Hitchcock and Patricia Highsmith (Strangers on a Train). It’s intelligent, full of twists and uncomfortable turns and although I guessed the real culprit ‘who dunnit’ amongst all the ‘could have dunnits’, I couldn’t have guessed the complex why.

Callie works in a local bookshop whilst her much loved twin sister Tilda is a successful actress. Callie loves Tilda so much that she has the alarming habit of eating little objects belonging to her twin in order to be closer to her. Tilda takes up with Felix, a wealthy obsessive who keeps plates and cups in cling-film and re-decorates Tilda’s homely flat in cool grey and white. Callie thinks he’s not only over-controlling but that he is harming her after she sees bruises on Tilda’s arm, and after spending hours obsessively researching on the Dangerous Men website, she is ensnared into its web of deeply disturbed women. We know Felix will die because the story opens with his funeral, and he does so - of ‘natural causes’ Or was he murdered as Callie believes?

The narratives hurtle along at a great pace and the listener’s suspicions are aroused only to be dashed over and over again as the complex plot lines becomes more and more entangled and deathly, losing my sympathy along the way. Fans of this genre will be satisfied by the psychological explanation of the killer’s actions in the final resolution, but whereas Patricia Highsmith creates characters who are truly haunting and memorable, these make for addictive and compulsive listening but are utterly forgettable.

Two questions: what is the point of the indulgent naked scene towards the end? (Has the author a film in her sights?) And why is the book called White Bodies which seems to have no relevance at all?

Ok story but in an attempt to be clever, it gets carried away with detail when Id worked out the basic ending by chapter 30. This is why I gave it an average rating

Overthought

The story itself is full of plot twists, and the ending is completely unexpected. Camilla does an amazing job of narrating. Would make a great movie!

Amazing!

I enjoyed this book throughly. It was narrated very well, the characters are complex and suprising, you never quite know how the story will end. Nice work Jane!

Full of twists and turns, a great listen.
