About this listen

She made her bed. You’ll lie in it.

Rebecca only wanted to help out - to be kind. Richard seemed so alone after his wife, Nicole, died, and Rebecca wanted to make sure he knew he had someone on whom to rely.

But now, she’s in Nicole’s immaculate house. Drinking from her favourite crystal wine glass. Keeping shoes in her orderly closet. Comforting her sweet and grieving stepdaughter. It feels like Rebecca is living another woman’s life.

And as she gets to know the neighbours, Rebecca hears stories that make her wonder: Was free-spirited Nicole happy in this perfect life, or did she feel trapped? Did she feel, as Rebecca is beginning to, that something wasn’t quite right?

The story everyone’s talking about! If you loved The Girl on the Train, The Wife Between Us and The Girl Before, you’ll be totally gripped and unable to put down this twisty pause-resisting psychological thriller.

Too obvious

This was a pretty good story with the exception that I had it pegged from the beginning. there was actually no real surprise for me.

Obvious Plot and 2nd Wife

Obvious plot and the 2nd Wife's gullibility was unrealistically put on display. I wish the author would of gave her a backbone. Half of the listen involved me shaking my head.

Good Book and narration.

This was a pretty good book not the best but pretty good. A lot of twists and turns and some of these characters will make you say "wow". I really liked Rebecca's character.

The story line and plot was interesting. There was a lot of inner dialogue going on and some of it unnecessary so that was kind of annoying. But the story was still good.

I can't really say too much about this book without giving away spoilers. It was worth the credit and time for sure.

As for the narration, this was my first Tamsin Kennard listen and she did a great job. I liked her narration the men sounded like men and she gave everyone their own voice. She has a nice reading voice and reads with emotion as called for.

Too much profanity.

I have purchased books from this author before, I was surprised at the amount of profanity. And I guessed the plot twist so, I didn't finish the book.

Not the best.,.

I don’t know if I’m just a genius that has lived all these years unaware of my brilliance or I’ve “read” too many psychological thrillers or maybe I just got lucky but, I figured out the plot and who-done-it, somewhere in the first third of the book.

I kept listening in the hopes that I was wrong... but I wasn’t. The “shocking twist” was disappointing for me.

“Shocking” twist aside, the over all story pace was slow and the end wasn’t terribly satisfying.
