About this listen
Mirror, mirror on the wall …
Jealousy doesn’t exist in Darby Forester’s vocabulary. Until Caroline, an equally stunning woman, crashes Darby’s perfect fortieth birthday party and reduces her seemingly perfect husband into a horny adolescent in front of the well-wishers.
THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET WORSE.
Shortly after the last guest leaves, Caroline calls Wyatt. Someone is trying to break into her house—where she’s alone and terrified.
Wyatt rides off to the rescue. Darby feels the first brush of fear. Her father was a serial adulterer, abusing her and her sickly mother. Infidelity is, for Darby, a game-changer. One Wyatt has always willingly agreed to.
A call from the ER changes everything.
Wyatt is fighting for his life after a brutal beating. Suspense mounts at the hospital when Darby finds Caroline rode in the ambulance with Wyatt. She is passing herself off as his sister.
The game of cat and mouse escalates.
Caroline baits Darby with innuendoes of Wyatt’s infidelity. Shortly after his hospital admission, he dies. Darby has no idea what Caroline wants. Or who she is. Or why Wyatt was attacked. A mysterious text sends her rushing to meet a stranger claiming to have the answers.
Body count mounts.
Before Darby gets answers that make sense, the stranger is dead. A day later, so is Caroline.
Arrogance. Spite. Payback. Emotionally exhausted and disillusioned, Darby hires a PI. The secrets he ferrets out point to a murder in her past. Can she dodge the payback?

Before then her bedroom was a dark, windowless cellar, her activities confined to cooking and cleaning. She'd grown used to being maltreated by the Songoli family - to being a slave. She's never been outside, doesn't know how to read or write, and cannot speak English. At least that's what the Songolis believe. But Muna is far cleverer - and her plans more terrifying - than the Songolis or anyone else can ever imagine....

All the neighbours were laughing, drinking out of plastic glasses and getting along. I almost felt happy. Almost forgot about the terrible argument earlier and the sinister messages I’d been receiving from a strange address all week, threatening to expose the lies behind my perfect life. As we finished with the red and gold fireworks and welcomed everyone back to our house, I believed that everything would be okay. But I didn’t know who I was inviting in.

Glenn has spent years cultivating her brand through her baking blog, and with the publication of her new book, that hard work seems about to pay off.

I can't fairly rate the actual story because I only got through a few chapters. I could NOT keep my focus on the book because of how monotone the narration was.
When a real person is reading, they change their voices for characters. They read with with passion to show the characters emotions.
Why are we not having real ppl narrarate stories about humans?
Is this just another way for big corporations to eliminate jobs?
