About this listen
Carrie's best friend has an accident and can no longer make the round-the-world trip they'd planned together, so Carrie decides to go it alone.
Violet is also travelling alone, after splitting up with her boyfriend in Thailand. She is desperate for a ticket on the Trans-Siberian Express, but there is nothing available.
When the two women meet in a Beijing Hotel, Carrie makes the impulsive decision to invite Violet to take her best friend's place. Thrown together in a strange country, and the cramped cabin of the train, the women soon form a bond. But as the journey continues, through Mongolia and into Russia, things start to unravel - because one of these women is not who she claims to be....

Story
The festive season is in full swing - parties, champagne and Christmas crackers abound. You're having a breather at the hotel bar when a stunning young woman catches your eye. Could she really be interested in you? She flutters her eyelashes and takes your hand. Her Christmas party dress glitters with sequins. What you don't know is that your life is now in her hands - as she leads you up to her room there's only one thing that will determine whether you live or die. Are you a good person? Are you really?

Story
It was meant to be Caitlin's perfect summer, but betrayed by her best friend and her boyfriend, she finds herself hitchhiking home alone, heartbroken, and penniless. When a smiling family pulls up on the roadside to help her on her way, she's relieved at first - they seem friendly, normal. And when they offer her a warm bed in their cottage for the night, she's grateful - it's not safe for young women travelling alone in the dark, and she's in no rush to get home, where she knows a grave secret is due to blow her family apart.

Story
The summer in question started out with hot, fun-filled days and new friendships. We had just turned thirteen and had our whole lives ahead of us. But that was before her. Before we became known as the Hixton Five and our lives become defined by one night. It’s hard to believe twenty years have passed since she was locked away. But now she’s free and strange things have started to happen. When I close my eyes, the creeping anxiety and fear is overwhelming and all too real. Because the monster is back, and I know she has a score to settle with us.

Story
For myself and Lauren, my 10-year-old daughter No 3 Beech Close was to be our refuge after two years of hell nursing my sick mother. In need of a fresh start and wanting to distance ourselves from the bad memories of my mother’s house we moved to Beech Close, a small cul-de-sac of six houses situated around a picture-perfect green. It seemed perfect but I had underestimated the secrets that this tightknit community shared. Within hours of moving in my next-door neighbour Valerie made it abundantly clear we were not welcome.

Story
The day my path crossed with Simon Fox I thought I’d already lost everything, but then he almost ran me off the road with his flash car and belittling jibes. The men in my life had undermined me for too long. Enough was enough. Fuelled by alcohol and the desire to get even, I decided a spot of petty vandalism would make me feel a whole lot better. Wrong. Very wrong. I hadn’t realised that Simon Fox was not a man to be messed with.

Kat and Yasmine! Do not dally! Come straight home after work. Kat, don’t take the long route from the subway station just so you can pass by Cute Hot Dog Guy. This is important! I’ve had the best day. You won’t believe it. There I was in my preschool classroom, washing a bit of poo out of some soggy trousers, when this absolute babe came to collect his nephew from my class. Truthfully, I thought I’d blacked out for a moment when I first saw him. He was a proper hunk with glorious brown hair, quite tall, and he had these arms. Are muscly arms supposed to turn me on?

Mesmerizing!
I am two thirds into this wild ride of a novel. I am so glad I ignored the bad reviews, and followed my instinct to buy what sounded like an intriguing book; read by my favorite narrator. Imogen Church does not disappoint, clearly vocalizing two very different women as they merge their travels for a crazy journey and a perilous relationship. I don’t want this to end, but it will do very soon, as I can’t stop listening.
I have finished listening to “Violet.” It is already difficult to settle on a book to follow this one. I highly recommend; though this novel is not for the faint hearted. It is at times graphically violent. It is profoundly disturbing, and quite depressing. It is also richly atmospheric, with characters one can almost touch. The pace never lets up. This is a strange, taut story. You become a voyeur on this wild, often depraved, adventure. Buckle up.

Came for the amazing narrator and stayed for the dumpster fire story 
I love the talented narrator, Ms. Church. She’s such a strong storyteller, that she can make
a person keep listening to what is essentially trash with a side of trash.
Story concept is good, but poorly executed. There are many times I wanted to stop., But I really give up on a book. I should have this time. Save your money and your time, people.
This one’s a hard pass.

I was reeling from this book for a couple of days
Two women meet and both want to take the Trans-Siberian Express. One has no ticket, but the other has an extra one because her friend had a broken leg and wasn't able to accompany her. We are told in the book blurb "things start to unravel – because one of these women is not who she claims to be…". I'm still reeling from this because at first I'm just taken aback by the bad life decisions like drinking, smoking cigarettes, and doing drugs.
I'm not going to say much more because I don't want to give away this psychological thriller. This isn't a favorite genre of mine, but it held my interest enough that I finished it quickly. I needed to know what happened and which woman was not who she claimed to be!
Part of the reason I chose this book is because it is narrated by Imogen Church and my granddaughter Imogen recently had a birthday. The narration elevated my feelings for this book and I will look for more books that she narrates. I'm not rushing to do more of these psychological thrillers however.

Superb narrator
Probably like most Audible listeners, I am a huge admirer of Ms. Church, her narration is always superb. A real artist. As far as the novel itself...well...it's certainly unusual and I see how some people love it. I didn't. Likely it's a matter of personal preference, but there are so many villains and awful individuals around (especially in politics!!!!!) that I don't particularly enjoy a book where there are among the main protagonists. I prefer to sympathize with them, not despise them.

Perfect book/audiobook for thriller/suspense lovers!
If you like suspense and creepy, disconcerting and cognitively dissonant stories, you have to get this one. I read on kindle and listened as well. I go back and forth during the day.
You know that person, the one who is just a bit too attached while also being 'out there''? Well, SJI Holliday kind of explains and demonstrates that feeling of sympathy mixed with disgust, Trustworthiness? Forget it. I love how this book went. I flew through it. Imogen Church is the real OG
On this stuff. She brings it to life like no other and her voice kind of stabs the truth into you.
