Look In the Mirror

A Novel

De: Catherine Steadman

Narrado por: Catherine Steadman

From the New York Times bestselling author of Something in the Water comes “an utter white-knuckle ride that took me into a heart of darkness” (Lucy Foley, author of The Paris Apartment).

“Addictive, thrilling, intoxicating.”—Lisa Jewell, author of None of This Is True

“The vacation home of dreams . . . or nightmares? What a ride—I tore through this nail-biting, pacey read.”—Sarah Pearse, author of The Retreat

Nina, still grieving from the loss of her father, discovers that she has inherited property in the British Virgin Islands—a vacation home she had no idea existed, until now. The house is extraordinary: state-of-the-art, all glass and marble. How did her sensible father come into enough money for this? Why did he keep it from her? And what else was he hiding?

Maria, once an ambitious medical student, is a nanny for the super-rich. The money’s better, and so are the destinations where her work takes her. Just one more gig, and she’ll be set. Finally, she’ll be secure. But when her wards never show, Maria begins to make herself at home, spending her days luxuriating by the pool and in the sauna. There’s just one rule: Don’t go in the basement. That room is off-limits. But her curiosity might just get the better of her. And soon, she’ll wish her only worry was not getting paid.

Un-put-downable!!!

I eagerly anticipated the release of this novel, and was not disappointed! I devoured it in a day and a half, as I literally could not stop listening. Catherine Steadman is a highly intelligent, creative, clever writer and just when you think you know what happens next…you don’t. Bravo!!!

Different!

This story is a little different from the other psychological nail-biters. There are good cliff hangers which make it hard to stop listening. Great voice actor, too.

The story twists and turns

This was a fast paced thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat

Love her writing & narration

Always enjoy her books and love her voice - captures everything perfectly! Great plot twists; was always trying to figure it out!

I didn't see it coming.

The story was interesting and had a subtle way of gently grabbing you, slowly pulling you in, and not letting go. The ending and epilogue were awesome and unexpected. The performance was exceptional and I most definitely will listen again.

Surprise! Story-line!

For me it dragged on thinking it was going to make sense ... to me, and I could enjoy. Finished book but won't re-read this one Catherine.

I couldn’t stop listening

Truly a spectacular, unpredictable thriller and I couldn’t put it down. This was as exciting as the first one of hers I was spellbound to “Something in the water”. One surprise after another that kept me completely engaged!

Haunted House Story?

I've read or listened to most of Steadman's novels and have enjoyed them. This particular novel was, in my opinion, strange and left me wondering what was going on. It would be interesting to what gave the author the inspriation to write this "story." Nevertheless, I will look forward to her next work.

Quirky!

This book did not take the path I predicted. I love Catherine’s books so I was eager to dive in. Story moves along and not your usual summer read!

What an unusual story.

This story will definitely keep your attention.The skipping from one character to another will have you rewinding to keep up with the intrigue.
