The Other Husband

By: Kathryn Croft

Narrated by: Hannah Curtis

One dinner party will destroy everything.

The night that throws a wrecking ball into Abby’s life starts out perfectly at first. There’s still a hint of summer sun in the purple-streaked sky. Abby and her best friend, Sienna, look on fondly as their two husbands laugh under the garden gazebo. None of them know it’s the last time they will be together again.

What starts out as just a little fun has devastating consequences for the couples. Alone with Sienna’s husband, Greg, Abby finds him unexpectedly charming. Caught up in the moment, she reveals a secret she swore never to tell. And something happens that night that neither she nor Greg can take back.

Abby is desperate to tell her husband and Sienna the truth but can’t risk Greg sharing what she told him. She has no choice but to keep quiet. Then Greg suddenly disappears.

Is her best friend’s husband simply running from his secrets? Or has someone decided they can’t risk that he may share theirs?

From number one best-selling author Kathryn Croft comes a gripping and twisty psychological thriller perfect for fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train.

The complexity of the characters

This book had me guessing until almost a very end. Being the amateur sleuth that I am, I figured it out. Very enjoyable, and I liked the readers.

creative with lots of twist

easy to continue once the story starts. however some unanswered questions still lingers from all of the plot twists.

Slow at first but gets better

It started kind of weird and slow to me but I am glad I stuck with it, it has a lot of twists and I didn’t see the end coming.

Skipped half of it

It's filled with repitition and drags on and on. I literally listened to the first couple of hours then skipped to the last and the characters were still going on about the same thing. The plot twist in the end would probably have hit harder if the book was edited better.
The performance also got to me as there's no effort made to differentiate between the characters.

this book dragged

this book took entirely too long. there was no suspense. the level of mistrust was stupid. a simple conversation would have resolved 1/4 of the plot line.

The long and winding road…

I enjoyed the book. But I felt like there were so many intentional turns that it just went on and on and on. I I did like it though it just seemed it could’ve been a little shorter. I thought the performance was great. Was tied up neatly in the end, but it sure took a long time to get there.

Book kind of drags on

This book went on too long, so much of it was just mindless chatter that could have been left out of the book and the story would not have been different at all. I am glad it was FREE with my Audible subscription.

Twists & Turns

I enjoyed the book. There were twists & turns that kept me guessing. I recommend it!

It went on for far too long

The way it would never get to the point! I was at chapter 18 and still had no idea where the book was heading. Now I did have a hard time figuring out who did it since it had twist after twist after twist but gesshhh it took forever to even figure out what was actually going to happen. Also Abby was so annoying!

Started out good but…..

It started off so good I didn’t want to stop listening but it seems to drag out with a lot of unnecessary fluff. It began to get on my nerves with no one being honest about nothing. It was just ok but good since it’s free.
