A woman watches her marriage implode over text message and decides that ignorance is not bliss in this bitterly satisfying short mystery by the New York Times bestselling author of Lady in the Lake.
Liz Kelsey promised herself she’d never again spy on her feckless husband, Phil. But then she discovers a string of suggestive texts on his secret burner phone. Even worse, he’s flirting with the woman who shook their unstable marriage once before. But knowledge is power. What’s more dangerous - what Liz knows or what Phil doesn’t know?
Laura Lippman’s Slow Burner is part of Hush, a collection of six stories, ranging from political mysteries to psychological thrillers, in which deception can be a matter of life and death. Each piece can be read or listened to in one truly chilling sitting.

This is my first experience with Laura Lippman and I’m definitely going to be adding more of her work to my TBR. This was a fantastic mystery with a splash of thriller. Liz seems so helpless to stop her husband from destroying their marriage with his emotional infidelity. Mostly Liz’s 3rd person POV, but with text exchanges between Phil & the slightly mysterious “HW”. Sometimes texting doesn’t translate well in audiobook form, but it worked great here. Though not at all what I was expecting, the ending was perfect.
I grabbed this because Amy McFadden. As always, she does a great job with a variety of voices and emotional inflections.

This was a short story about a married couple. Together for over twenty years, she is a teacher of Greek mythology and he is a money man. We learn that all is not well in the home, while she loves her husband, he is a control freak who chases other women. Most of the story is a background in the relationship, including several attempts at therapy. I'd have hit the divorce lawyer and kicked his ass to the curb with full alimony. She had other plans. I won't ruin the twist. It was rather interesting. Perfectly narrated on the audiobook by Amy McFadden. Lots of Greek mythology references.
