About this listen

The Perfect Couple… A match made in HEAVEN or HELL?

‘Chillingly believable and utterly compelling’ Lucy Foley, No.1 bestselling author of The Hunting Party
‘The perfect summer read. A classy thriller. Stylish, twisty and full of suspense’ Sarah Pinborough, No.1 bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes

When Emily applies for a job as a housekeeper for widower Rupert, it’s a chance to start over – a steady job and regular money means she can work towards her own place, not sharing a grimy flat with old mate, Mags.

As Emily gets to know more about Rupert’s world – how he likes his supper when he comes in from work, who his friends are – she can make sure everything runs like clockwork for him.

Soon there’s a spark between them; Rupert likes Emily and invites her to stay. For good.

To the outside world, they really seem to be a perfect match. There’s just the small issue of what really happened to Rupert’s first wife…

A gripping, razor-sharp game of cat and mouse, from the bestselling author, Lisa Hall.

Praise for The Perfect Couple:

‘Chillingly believable and utterly compelling with thrills aplenty — I loved this book’ Lucy Foley, No.1 bestselling author of The Hunting Party

‘The perfect summer read. A classy thriller that’s stylish, twisty and full of suspense, Hall’s novel is garnished with echoes of the classics such as Rebecca and Gaslight, but is very much a delicious cocktail all of its own’ Sarah Pinborough, No.1 bestselling author of Behind Her Eyes

‘Razor-sharp’ The Sun

‘Chock-full of menace, red herrings, and well-drawn characters who pull you one way, then hurl you in the opposite direction. I had my theories – they were all wrong! Highly recommend’ Caz Frear, No.1 bestselling author of Sweet Little Lies

‘Think Rebecca, Body Heat, and Gaslight. Lisa Hall’s dark thriller plays on three classic tropes and does the seemingly unimaginable: it improves on them. You’re going to devour this one’ Christina Dalcher, bestselling author of Vox and Q

‘A sharp game of cat and mouse with a brilliant, twisty plot. Unputdownable!’ Candis

‘Darkly addictive and impossible to predict, this is Lisa Hall at her absolute best’ CWA Dagger-winning author Chris Whitaker

The story is pretty good, and the narrator isn’t bad.... but the repetition of some sentences and phrases gets annoying.

Poor editing

Throughout the story there were lines that would repeat multiple times. It happened at pivotal times in the story which made the overall story less enjoyable.

Horrible production risk ruining story

This book needs to go back to the publisher for editing. I counted at least seven times where the narrator repeated the same phrase/sentence. When publishers expect customers to pay for audiobooks, they need to have had the audio edited and proofed by others. Very disappointed in the quality of this narration.

What’s up with poor editing by professionals?

Wasn’t expecting that twist at the end…loved this book! It did repeat a few times but not a huge deal like all the other reviews were complaining about.

Loved it!

This audible badly needs an edit as narrator sometime says the same line two and three times This happens throughout the audible and is extremely off putting to the story. Other than that is was an ok tale.

Edit required to this audible.

I thought this was a really engaging, intriguing story. My only thought was that the very ending was unnecessary. It was great without it.

Excellent

Great story line. Kept my interest. Could have ended several different ways...Nice twist. Did not see the conclusion before the Author shared the ending.

Intriguing...

The reader stopped and repeated passages or words multiple times over and over throughout the reading, like it wasn’t edited.
