The Good Wife

De: Gemma Rogers

The sensational, edge of your seat psychological thriller from bestselling author Gemma Rogers

Appearances can be deceiving...

After a whirlwind romance and three years of marriage, I’d tried to be a good wife.

But Tom, my husband, is always watching, controlling my every move. He chooses my clothes, my hairstyle, even instructing what and how much I’m allowed to eat – just ten measly mouthfuls.

I’ve become isolated from those I love, forbidden to work and stuck at home to fulfil his every whim.

My identity along with my life is long gone.

I am slowly suffocating but I know Tom will never, ever let me leave alive.

A chance encounter with Savannah changes everything. Tom couldn’t tear his eyes away from her. Could she be my saviour?

Could my husband’s desire for another woman be the answer to my prayers, to my freedom?

Bestseller Gemma Rogers is back with another gripping, page-turning thriller. Perfect for fans of Liane Moriarty, Shari Lapena and Lisa Jewell.

kept slowly building

I couldn't put it down. it drew you into and the characters were so well built.

Lots of twists and turns

It kept me guessing! I listen to a lot of thrillers and that’s really saying something.

Ahh great listen !!

Loved this audible!! Husband was horrible through out but the ending was great !! Love listening to all Gemma Rogers audibles.

lots of twists and turns with a surprise ending

the volume of the recording was very inconsistent. Loud voice was followed by a barely audible voice.

Wraps you up and only releases you at the last word!

Intricate story, tumbling along as it grabs each character into a great ball of deceit. Velvet-voiced narrator!

It was good, but it could’ve been great.

The performance, and it was a performance, was everything. The characters were so over the top, it made the book better. Also, (and it probably wasn’t intentional) it made me laugh. Tom is just rude. He’s mean and horrible, and always rude! That Mr Snooty voice made him funny. He’s the worst character I’ve run into lately, and I hated him. I just get really invested in storylines, and I hated him, but I’d have been seething more if his voice had been sinister to match his character.
The thing about this book is that it’s so good you don’t want to put it down. But you want something to happen. So you wait, and it’s slow. Then it’s 30 minutes before it’s finished and things happen. But it’s too late. Even what happens isn’t that shocking. And the end is just left there. She could’ve done a better job, and edited the every day things, and not rushed the ending. It needed a good twist. But it’s entertaining, so I’m glad I read it.

Great but too much explicit sex

Engrossing story with excellent performance. Didn’t care for explicit sex or the not totally clear ending.

So good!

I was infuriated at the weakness of this woman. She was pathetic. I couldn’t help but like her though. I finished this book in a day. Couldn’t stop listening. I’m hard to please and this one lived up to its rating. I very much enjoyed it and didn’t want it to end.

Terrible narration

Good story but hard to finish. The male characters sound like cartoon characters. The women weren’t as bad after I sped it up slightly but still not good and seriously detracts from the book.

Excellent story

Loved the development of the characters and it held my interest the whole time. I’ll look for other books by this author.
