Publisher's summary

Amy, une jolie jeune femme au foyer, et son mari Nick, propriétaire d'un bar, forment, selon toutes apparences, un couple parfait. Ils coulent des jours paisibles dans la petite ville des bords du Mississipi où Nick a grandi. Jusqu'au jour où Charlie, en rentrant du travail, découvre dans leur maison un chaos indescriptible... Et aucune trace de sa femme. Quelque chose de grave est arrivée.
Après qu'il a appelé les forces de l'ordre pour signaler la disparition d'Amy, la situation prend une tournure inattendue. Si leur mariage n'était pas aussi parfait qu'il le paraissait, Nick est néanmoins encore loin de se douter à quel point leur couple n'était qu'une illusion.

Critic reviews

A propos de ce titre
Grand Prix des lectrices ELLE policier 2013.

La presse en parle
" Les Apparences révèlent une femme et une Amérique (...) obsédées par leur image. Sous le pavé, la normalité vole en éclat jusqu'à la chute... aussi terrible que sublime !"
Olivia de Lamberterie, ELLE

Great story, nice performance

Where does Les Apparences rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I am familiar with the story in English so enjoyed listening to it in French as a challenge. Nice performance and easy to follow along with the dual narration.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot and characters are really engaging.

What does Odile Cohen and Julien Chatelet bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I have read it in English, and was listening to it in French for a challenge. They acted the characters well, and made for engaging listening.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Most of it is pretty thought provoking.

Any additional comments?

Love how open to interpretation/opinion this story is!
