About this listen

Love may be blind, but obsession’s a real killer.

Nora Holliday is not that kind of woman. Not the kind who has an illicit affair with a married man. But Josh Landon is everything Nora’s alcoholic husband isn’t. And now she and Josh are so infatuated, they can’t stay away from one another.

Abby Landon, Josh’s daughter, is home from college nursing a broken heart. She’s seeking solace, not more scandal, so when she catches her dad kissing Nora, she vows to take the homewrecker down.

And as for Abby’s mother and Josh’s wife, Gwen? To anyone on the outside looking in, the mother of two appears to be living the ideal suburban life.

Until she winds up dead.

The serene seaside town of Shoreham has always been the perfect place to raise a family - not somewhere housewives are brutally murdered. So who killed Gwen Landon, and how many twisted secrets will be exposed as the vindictive plot comes undone?

Great except...

This was the first audible book I listened to where the narrator was insufferably terrible. I had to grit my teeth when the narrator voiced Carter. Abby was not much better—she sounded like she was being choked the whole time. HOWEVER, this was still an amazing book that I really enjoyed. The plot was good and it was never slow.

Great to listen to

I enjoyed this book. I enjoy Margot Hunt's books in general. I don't watch crime or detective shows; and this is a murder mystery. But it is much more about the interpersonal dynamics of the families involved. There are strong female characters. The characters are realistic and well drawn.

I loved it!

I didn't want it to end. Do I need to say more? The performance was well done and kept me captivated.

Loved the ending.

This book was done very well. The reader really helped characterize everyone and it was easy to follow along. The story had enough twists and turns to make it exciting.

Amazing read/listen

This is a book I would definitely recommend to others. the overall story was great and the narrator was very good though I think this would be better done as a duet. (the rest will contain spoilers).

I would listen to this narrator again, the biggest issue with the read is the voice of Carter. I get what the narrator was doing with his character, but it just would throw me a little everytime his character spoke.

The story itself was great. I love how it bounced between the Affair Partners, spouses, and one of the daughters POV. However, to be nit picky, I think the story would have been better if the "betrayed" partners weren't heavily vilified, particularly Gwen's. Gwen's story would have been more interesting and impactful if she was the resentful housewife turned to spurned lover lashing out in anger instead of the narcissistic monster wife.

The ending with Tara (I think that was her name) was a little irritating, but not unexpected.

overall, 9/10.

Took a long time to get into it

I kept waiting for the intrigue and it was all in the last hour and took some weird turns.

Eh, it’s okay

Unsatisfying ending to a bland storyline. Writing style and narration kept me interested, but not a recommendable book.
