Whatever you think you know…you’re wrong.

Following a whirlwind four-month romance, lawyer Claire and hotel entrepreneur Angus are engaged to be married. Happy and successful, and ready to start their new life together, Claire and Angus find what they believe to be the perfect home.

But when Claire meets Mark, the man selling them the house, he looks eerily familiar. He looks exactly like the man she loved five years ago, the man she couldn’t bear to lose.

As Claire finds herself irresistibly drawn to Mark and crosses lines she never thought she’d cross, Angus’ behaviour becomes increasingly suspicious. Soon Claire doesn’t know whether she can trust Mark, Angus…or even herself.

The Couple is a psychological thriller with a stunning twist, perfect for fans of The Girl Before, The Wife Between Us, and The Woman in the Window.

"I got so pulled into The Couple I read it in one go – great twist!" (Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange)

The main character, Claire, is incredibly dumb, painfully so. Her decisions and actions are eventually explained but o still found it hard to relate with based on her character development and the way she breaks down situations and reasons in her head is arduously elementary. She has this strange attraction to this guy, Mark that she and her fiancé purchase a house from. The guy is completely sketchy from the start but she’s so “blinded” with his resemblance to an ex-BF she does anything he asks and he takes total advantage of her. She lets so many things slide in her present life and focuses on things she shouldn’t. Again, we eventually learn why but I still wasn’t that impressed. I stayed interested in the story but also remained consistently annoyed by her personality. I don’t think I’d outright recommend this book but I wouldn’t prevent someone who was about to click the purchase button since it held my interest until the end — I can see why some might find this story more compelling than I did.

not great but ok

This book had real potential when I first started. The storyline was very slow and too much explanation of what the main character was doing and feeling. Very little dialogue between the characters. Enjoyed the end twist but it was a long haul to get there.

A bit disappointing

Unbelievably shallow and easily manipulated woman becomes near psychotic heronie - Ridiculous plot but information concerning immigration laws of Eng were quite interesting- almost exchanged it but enjoyed the narrator..

Ridiculous

I fast forwarded hoping plot will improve to no avail. A waste of reading time I'll never get back.

Predictable Sappy Annoying

This was the worst book that I’ve ever had to suffer through. I honestly should have returned it, but I was hoping it would get better. I’m so glad it’s finally over. The narrator is one of the best I’ve listened to and is the only reason I made it through the book. Don’t waste your credit or cash.

Horrible
