My perfect man is married. And his wife is missing. Can I really trust him—or am I next?

Sophie wasn’t expecting to find love in Sicily. But then she sees him: Emilio, a professor who works at the university where she is teaching for the summer. He’s kind, intelligent, funny, exciting and deliriously unpredictable…

…maybe perfect.

But paradise quickly turns to purgatory as she uncovers the haunting disappearance of Emilio’s first wife. And when she senses a shadowy character following her, watching her every move, Sophie starts to question her grip on reality. Is she being paranoid, or is nothing about her new life really what it seems?

As further shocking revelations about Emilio’s past surface, Sophie knows one thing for certain: someone is trying to warn her away from him. But is that someone just jealous, or is Sophie caught in a lethal trap?

Were we supposed to sympathize with the main character? Why spend so much time on an annoying friend who then had little to do with the plot? Wtf was that ending? Did the narrator really need to try for a Sicilian male accent? They lived on an ash field? Just so weird…I ended up being annoyed.

I grabbed this new title by Sue Watson immediately for a treasured credit. I wish I had listened to the complete audio sample, my huge mistake. Starting out slow, I decided to give it a chance. As Polly Edsel continued her narration of “His First Wife,” this became a mundane and ordinary book, and I found myself losing interest. My first narrative by Edsel was not exceptional (I missed the exquisite brilliance of Tamsin Kennard). I found Edsel’s Italian vocals so annoying; I do prefer British vocals (she had trouble with these as well). Still, with five hours left, I gave up and fast-tracked to the end.

Disappointed and lost… I just didn’t care anymore.

This was a waste of a credit. What a terrible book. The narrator was not great either. Just a big pass all around

Super boring

Warning: Extremely bad audio quality throughout - very echoey sound. I tried contacting Audible to get it fixed, but it didn’t help. In several spots, there are small re-recorded clips with even worse audio and terrible, jarring cuts. This happens multiple times and really breaks the flow.

The story itself was weak and predictable, and the audiobook narrator was flat and unengaging.

Overall, a poor experience—I would not recommend it.

Warning: Extremely bad audio quality and bad plot!
