About this listen

Darby Kane, author of the #1 international bestseller Pretty Little Wife, returns with another twisty domestic thriller about a wife wondering who tried to kill her husband twice before finally succeeding… because that was supposed to be her job.

Dr. Richmond Dougherty is a renowned pediatric surgeon, an infamous tragedy survivor, and a national hero. He’s also very dead—thanks to a fall down the stairs. His neighbors angrily point a finger at the newest Ms. Dougherty, Addison. The sudden marriage to the mysterious young woman only lasted ninety-seven days, and he’d had two suspicious “accidents” during that time. Now Addison is a very rich widow.

As law enforcement starts to circle in on Addison and people in town become increasingly hostile, sides are chosen with Kathryn, Richmond’s high school sweetheart, wife number one, and the mother of his children, leading the fray. Despite rising tensions, Addison is even more driven to forge ahead on the path she charted years ago…

Determined at all costs to unravel Richmond’s legacy, she soon becomes a target—with a shocking note left on her bedroom wall: You will pay. But it will take a lot more than faceless threats to stop Addison. Her plan to marry Richmond then ruin him may have been derailed by his unexpected death, but she’s not done with him yet.

Bad Mother

And the victim was her daughter. A little bit of murder and a rather convoluted investigation. A sorrowful tale.

Loved it!

Held my interest right away, and the multiple plot twists were surprisingly unique, I didn't see them coming. Kind of darkish at times but not overly so. Perfect narration.

Decent listen

I enjoyed this listen. It was different enough to stand out. That said, there seemed to be a couple of unnecessary twists, and the final one cheapened the overall story for me.

Good not great

Maybe more 3.5 overall? I wanted to keep reading but there were almost too many twists at the end. It was engaging but not my favorite.

Constant twists and turns of the story

Love a good twisty thriller. Very engaging and entertaining. The continued changes based on the characters dishonest honesty.

Great engaging audiobook

Great book and narration. Kept me engaged and wanting more. Didn’t love the male narration and wondered if the males perspective was really necessary, but aside from that I really liked it.
