It has been called the political crime of the century: a foreign government, led by a brutal authoritarian leader, secretly interfering with the American presidential election to help elect the candidate of its choice. Now, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post national security reporter Greg Miller investigates the truth about the Kremlin’s covert attempt to destroy Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump win the presidency, Trump’s steadfast allegiance to Vladimir Putin, and Robert Mueller’s ensuing investigation of the president and those close to him.

This is a very interesting book with a very bad narrator. Maybe it's A.I.? Whoever it is can't pronounce Wikileaks, among other sins. The narrator is also a very fast reader which doesn't work well with this fact-laden book. I plan on getting a physical copy and reading that.

Jessa Whitworth knew she didn't belong in her ex-boyfriend Caleb's room. But she couldn't deny that she was everywhere - in his photos, his neatly folded T-shirts, even the butterfly necklace in his jeans pocket...the one she gave him for safekeeping on that day. His mother asked her to pack up his things - even though she blames Jessa for his accident. How could she say no? And maybe, just maybe, it will help her work through the guilt she feels about their final moments together.

Too much detail and not enough action. I didn't realize this was a YA novel. It would be great for teenage girls but adults, not so much.

Awful!!

I hate-read this book. The writing was so terrible I couldn't believe this book wasn't self-published. It was so bad I just kept reading in disbelief. The sex scenes should be submitted for the Bad Sex in Fiction award. The dialogue never rises above direct questions and answers. And the characters--thinner than tissue paper. The twist isn't bad and perhaps in the hands of a more capable writer this could have been a decent book. But alas. Barclay is no Gillian Flynn and this book is bad, very bad.

When you listen to this audiobook, you will make many assumptions. You will assume you are listening to a story about a jealous ex-wife. You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement - a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love. You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle. Assume nothing. Twisted and deliciously chilling, The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

"Wife", I have read "Gone Girl" and you are no "Gone Girl". Why this has 10, 482 ratings is beyond me. It's boring! The twist at the end has absolutely no effect on the story. It might have had an effect if it was actually incorporated in the plot. Instead it's a "by the way" at the end. I kept waiting for something to happen but the characters were so flat and unengaging it was hard to care when it did.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A book by a better writer.
What was most disappointing about David Lagercrantz’s story?
All the characters did was explain thing while a listener interjected an occasional,"Why's that?" or for variety, "What do you mean?" Apparently no on ever told Lagercrantz to show not tell. I hesitated to buy this book because it seems like Larrson's family was cashing in. I wish I had followed my first instinct and not bought it.

China Dolls Fails to Enchant
Reviewed: 07-17-14
Would you try another book from Lisa See and/or Jodi Long?
I loved Shanghai Girls and Dreams of Joy but this book is not at that level. The characters have all the depth of paper cutouts. The slang gets old and makes it impossible to distinguish which doll is which in this 3 part narration.
Jodi Long sounds like your New York grandmother reading a bedtime story, a strange and jarring contrast to this story of night club performers in San Francisco's Chinatown in the 1940s.

Now, at 23, her discovery of a 1943 letter from the famous philanthropist Abigail Rockefeller to the late mother superior of Saint Rose Convent plunges Evangeline into a secret history that stretches back a thousand years: an ancient conflict between the Society of Angelologists and the monstrously beautiful descendants of angels and humans.

The Devil Take Angelology
Reviewed: 08-20-10
I had high hopes for this book. Evil angels? Genius idea! Unfortunately, that was the end of the genius. After a promising beginning, the book switched to an unengaging flashbook about the goings on at an angelogy institute in the 1940s. I would have preferred more about evil angels and less about the angelolgists.
