The brilliant psychological thriller from bestseller Valerie Keogh.

His prized possession...his greatest mistake?

From the moment I saw Ann, I knew she was perfect for me.

But soon my marriage vows were a noose around my neck.

I longed to escape my beautiful, horrible wife.

And then I saw her and I knew there was only one way out...

Don't miss the thriller by Valerie Keogh! Perfect for fans of Sue Watson, Shalini Boland and K.L. Slater.

Weird but very exciting book. I did nothimg else but read the book. I didn't WANT to do anything but read the book! Performance was excellent. Thank you, Valerie Keogh - you've slipped into the place of my favourite writer.

Riveting Story and Narration!

My 5th Audible listen by this author. Again, this one was very well-written, interesting from the start and continuing straight through to the end. The narration hit the nail on the head. The narrator seemed the perfect match, and brought each of the varied characters to life, especially his first person enactment of this very unique main character was particularly impressive. He had an uncanny ability to "be" that character, every nuance and inflection and his tone and unique viewpoint, with intelligence, irony, and sometimes understated (or blatantly stated at times) sarcastic humour. The coupling of excellent writing and narration made this a compelling story. I couldn't help but wish Jake had been able to make some better choices along the way, because I would have wanted things to turn out better for him.

Wow!!

So many surprises and twists! Ultimately it’s the complete unraveling of one man living a life unfulfilled, unloved, and without meaning until it does?!? So so good how it seamlessly journeys to unexpected paths and revelations!!

Narration was excellent!!

A lot to unpack here

I almost think the title was a bit misleading because the story was more about the husband than the wife, as she didn't enter the story til half way through.
It was a crazy ride though that last 25% of the book - twists and turns and whoa. He was a bit of the dumbest criminal ever mixed in with a whole lot of insanity.
Very interesting listen I almost feel I need to sit with this one and let it soak in for awhile.
