Publisher's summary

The perfect boyfriend...or the perfect liar? Should Have Known Better is the tense new psychological thriller by A J McDine.

It’s the moment single-mum Kate has been dreading. With her only daughter, Chloe, about to leave home, she’s terrified by the prospect of an empty nest. That is until she meets charming lawyer Adam. He could be the perfect catch - if it wasn’t for his clingy son.

Because Ben has a crush on Chloe. A crush that is fast becoming an obsession. Flattered by the attention, Chloe is happy to string him along - for now at least. But Kate can see the danger signs, even if her daughter can't. And when Chloe’s life begins spiralling out of control, Kate must make a choice - trust her instincts or lose her daughter forever....

Loved it from start to finish.

I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, the twists & turns. I loved Cloë & the Grandfather to bits. The book was real & the characters well brought to life. my compliments to the Narrator - you did a great job!!!

Great listen!

Loved the narrator. It was kind of easy to figure out the story line but it definitely kept me interested. The ending was great. Everything neatly tied together leaving you imagining what might happens next in a good way.

Just okay

I thought it was very predictable and not very in depth. I just prefer more detailed characters.

Took me awhile to get into

This novel took me two tries to get into. The second one I made myself listen to and I didn’t click with it until well over halfway through it. It just wasn’t as interesting as I expected it to be.

Enjoyed the story!

This was an enjoyable story! I guess the ending words the middle of the book- but I still wanted to listen to the end. I want a second book- to hear about the relationship between Chloe and Noah! It can be a happy book!

Really enjoyed this listen tho predictable

I really enjoyed this listen and I loved the narration, which was amazing! The storyline was very predictable but very easy to listen to so I enjoyed it even though I kind of knew what was gonna happen.

Great story

The story was just suspenseful enough without being too scary or graphic. The narrator did a great job. I will definitely listen to it again!
