Brace yourself for the latest gripping thriller from Sarah Richards, the bestselling author behind Audible hits China White and Born Winners. The Worst of You is a twisted tale full of mysteries that only grow more intense with each thrilling reveal, keeping you guessing until the shocking conclusion. Masterfully narrated by Sarah Desjardins (Yellowjackets), this immersive audiobook will have you captivated from start to finish.

In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.

These kind of writing always drives me nuts! The story has awesome potential but for smart characters they get the most idiot reasoning and do the most stupidest things
I don’t go back to these authors even if their books are good.

So much idiosyncrasies

Seemed to take a long time to get into the story. Storyline was good, but it was very slow to build interest. I kept hoping it would get there and didn’t until the last 2 chapters.

Good storyline, but slow.

I found the storyline fully engaging. I thought I has it all figured out many times but realized I was completely wrong. I fully enjoyed.

A great story line, unique. It wasn't the same drab drama. LBGTQ interesting and a twist! I recommend it!

Great story line! Unique!

Fairly interesting story but the use of the name of the island ‘Williwaw’ was so over used! I cringed each time I heard it!
Not sorry I listened to this book as it was enjoyable just seemed a little predictable.

Williwaw overload

It’s an ok book, the plot and story definitely not originals. The “twist of events” not really twist. It’s an ok read while you find something better.

It’s ok

I don't enjoy endings that come completely out of the blue. There is a twist ending and then there's an ending that attempts to be a twist ending. Felt like AI wrote it with the expectation that people love unexpected happenings with nothing leading up to it. It had potential in some spots but I ended up forcing myself to finish

The storyline was good until the end I find it crazy but not crazy as in who done it crazy ass and how could it have been done if you get this book for free it’s a great time passer however, i kept falling asleep during the midway point.

Twists and turns to keep you guessing.

I don’t think I’ve ever read or listened to a story that has more unlikable characters. The story was fine, but I couldn’t find a single character to root for.

Unlikable characters

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
All the clues bunched at end of story rather than built up from the beginning. A fair mystery introduces the reader to whodunnit in first chapter. Multiple character viewpoints and time period changes made the storyline problems more confusing. Extraneous back story details slowed down the forward momentum. Interesting locale but story does not capture the cultural flavor. Narration with American accent did not fit.

Story structure needs work
