About this listen
Penguin Audio presents The Dead Ex by Jane Corry, read by Laura Aikman and Honeysuckle Weeks.
The third twist-filled thriller from The Sunday Times best-selling author of My Husband's Wife and Blood Sisters.
'I wish he'd just DIE.'
He said in sickness and in health. But after Vicki was attacked at work and left suffering with epilepsy, her husband, Daniel, left her for his mistress.
So when Vicki gets a call one day to say that he's gone missing, her first thought is 'good riddance'. But then the police find evidence suggesting that Daniel is dead. And they think Vicki had something to do with it.
What really happened on the night of Daniel's disappearance?
And how can Vicki prove her innocence when she's not even sure of it herself?
©2017 Jane Corry (P)2017 Penguin AudioThe one item that I did not like was the voice used for Vickys thoughts. Why was a computerized male voice used for this part. Very distracting and odd. Thank goodness not many of these were in the story.
The story was a bit easy to figure out, yet there were a few surprises toward the end.
Enjoyed

Just one thing confused me about the recording: In Part 1 (indeed, right off the bat), there are some short narrations that I guess are the diary entries of Vicky. However, either the director of the audiobook recorded Weeks at a slow speed for those, or somehow the session in which those were consecutively recorded came out of the recording studio slow, and were not adjusted. I was thrown, because all the way up to the end I thought the character of David had some husband stashed somewhere who also was into aromatherapy (lol). But truly, Weeks slowed down sounded like a bloke! Nevertheless a gripping listen; highly recommend it.
Addictive, but what's with the slow sequences?

First of all, the title of this book & the summary were sort of misleading. Then the book jumped around so much and used dates and it was hard to follow. I found myself having to repeat chapters thinking I had missed something or needed to reclarify an event.
Not to give too much away, I thought that the constant twists were fantastic. Holy mother of literature. I was definitely in shock and had "OMG" moments while listening. I never had a clue to what might happen which was very pleasant because I can usually figure out the twists in books, NOT THIS ONE.
So yes, there were parts that aggravated me but this book had me hook. I would definitely recommend.
The only parts with narration that bugged the crap out of me were the male computer sounding diary entries. They were creepy and soooo out of place. HATED that part.
Couldn't decide if I hated or loved it..

True confession: I have a weakness for wife-kills-husband/husband-kills-wife books. This being said, I had seen the pre-publicity press for this title and ordered it immediately before the book had any Audible reviews.. How could a book with such a great plot be bad??? Well...... I made it through 2 hours of the book before I refused to let it waste any more of my time. The book is slow, dull, repetitive and a huge disappointment.
The narrator reading Scarlett's lines is very irritating and, quite frankly, she gave me a headache.
There are so many great reads on Audible. Don't waste your credit on this one.
"Ex" This One Off Your List....
