Audio Thoughts

This was a very good audio. It is narrated by Leighton Pugh. Yet another male narrator and I really enjoyed listening to him. He has a great tone and is easy to listen to. This audio comes in at 10 hrs and 45 minutes and I can tell you it went by really quickly for this girl!

Final Thoughts

I really enjoyed this book. It grabbed me from the first few lines and didn’t let go. For fans of psychological thrillers this is another one to add to your spring reading list. Well worth a read or a listen!

Book Thoughts

Another great psychological thriller! Marianne apparently has all anyone could want. Perfect husband, children, and home. We must remember that appearances can be deceiving though. Marianne’s husband is a cardiac surgeon and his only demand of her is that she be the ‘perfect wife’ and sadly nothing she does is ever good enough. To top it off Marianne has had her share of mental issues as well. So when the name Caroline falls off his tongue in a tone that Marianne doesn’t like at all she becomes obsessed with this woman she feels certain her husband is having an affair with. As I flew through the book I constantly wondered what was real and what wasn’t. Was Marianne in fact a nut job or did someone want her to think she was?

Audio Thoughts

I really enjoyed the audio version of this book. It is narrated by Katie Villa. I’ve never listened to her before but she has a nice voice for audio so I wouldn’t hesitate to listen to another by her. This audio was a hard one to stop listening to and 10 hours literally flew by for me!

Final Thoughts

If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers give this one a go in audio or print. I really enjoyed it!

Audio Thoughts

This was a fantastic audio narrated by Barrie Kreinik and Julia Whelan. They do such a great job of bringing this story alive. I’ve not listened to anything by Barrie Kreinik before but I really like the tone of her voice and well Julia Whelan is one of my favourite narrators. I flew through this audio that runs 11 hours and 40 minutes. It was one of those that I just couldn’t stop listening to until the final words were uttered.

If you love psychological thrillers I highly recommend this one. It’s one of my favourites so far!

Audio Thoughts

The audio was great. I don’t normally like male narrators as much but I really enjoyed listening to Mark Owen. I haven’t listened to him before but I definitely would again. The audio version is pretty much 11 hours long and it flew by.

Final Thoughts

If you enjoy family drama/mysteries this is a great novel to settle in with and enjoy. It was very good!

This was a good story for me. It all starts back in law school for Nat and Will. They meet, have drinks, and debate over how hard it would be to get away with murder. Years later they are married and that very topic comes into question when something happens that threatens their son. The whole situation leaves them wondering about the very people they pledged their lives to in marriage. As things heat up one has to wonder what will happen to Nat and Will and whether or not their marriage can stand the stress of it all.

Audio Thoughts

This was a fantastic audio for me. Cassandra Campbell narrates it and because she is one of my top favourite narrators it just made the story all the better for me. This audio was a little over ten hours and it just flew by.

Final Thoughts

If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers and books that keep you on the edge of your seat give this one a whirl. I really enjoyed it!
