About this listen

Me and Will. Will and Me. A perfect match. He said he would always be there for me, but it’s been a year since he drained his coffee, walked out the front door and vanished.

Did he leave me? Or did something terrible happen? I’m scared someone finally found out about what happened on the drive home that night...

I lie awake at night trawling the internet for rental properties, desperate for an escape. Until I see my husband’s gorgeous face smiling back at me from a photograph on the fireplace in someone else’s home, and something inside of me snaps.

At the house, I find no trace of him and the woman who lives there has no idea who I am. But I’m certain she’s hiding something behind the locked door upstairs. I know that if I want answers, I have to stay.

You might think that what’s inside that room is the answer to all my questions and the end of all my pain. But it’s only the beginning…

Nail-biting and completely gripping, The Happy Couple will make you question how well you really know the ones you love. Perfect listening for anyone who adored The Wife Between Us, The Girl on the Train or Gone Girl.

THE HAPPY COUPLE

This is not the worst book that I have listened to. However, I have read many psychological thrillers with annoying main characters but this main character takes the cake! “Joe” is just so irritating, weak, and unrealistic. Eh! Self involved to the nth degree! Book is just fine; the pace is a bit slow. I didn’t hate it.

I didn’t hate the book but main character is shamefully annoying!

Loved the narrator and the story kept up at a great pace. Highly recommend for a good mystery and twists.

Surprise winner

I just don’t know where to begin with this one. I was expecting so much more from the book after listening to the first few chapters but it fell short for me. The main character, Jo, is so in love with Will that it’s sad. Every bad thing the man does is excused by her. It’s very frustrating. This is also more of a drama than a thriller or mystery.

I Just Don’t Know

This was an interesting story in ways. It seemed like it was going the typical cheating husband and all that then it surprised me. I will say she kind of made a lot of presumptions with only a little bit of information. It made me roll my eyes more than a few times. Overall a pretty good read and a step above the typical British psychological thrillers I seem to be addicted to.

I really enjoyed this book and I’m not sure why so many people thought the main character was awful. The story was good, didn’t figure it out until almost the end and then even then I didn’t know it all! I thought it was a good read!

Glad i didn’t read the reviews

The majority of the book was okay, kept my interest but the end had a lot of twists and turns and had a good ending. Did not guess what actually happened until they told you. Narration was good. Some was not really believable but it was entertaining.

Twists and turns ... especially at the very end

I liked it the whole way through as I couldn’t stop listening, very catching and keeps you wanting to hear more!

Great Book!

So. This began very good. And it did keep me wanting to listen to get the whole story. But I agree with some of the other reviewers. The characters were rather annoying. It was hard to get on board and cheer for any of them. Not just because you weren't sure who was crazy, but because they all were! And while there were a few tidbits that made me guess what had been going on, I did want to listen in hopes there was a crazy twist. Not really. It bounced back and forth ( which is fine in thrillers because you get fed small bits of information at a time) but even at the end it bounced back and forth to get the whole story. ugh. I enjoyed the narrator!!

Good . . But...

Serious struggle to finish! Even the climax couldn't keep my attention. Pass on this one.

Boring
