Another great psychological thriller!

I lived the performance; the story had great twists and turns and kept me listening and wanting more. I usually listen to my audible books in the car. I couldn’t wait to have to go somewhere in order to hear more of the story! Highly recommend!

nice

Very interesting, fast paced, nice little who done it. Narration was great. Maybe not so believable but neither are lifetime movies!

this had potential

I think the overall idea had so much potential, poor execution of character development and story line development. Huge gaping holes in the plot and lacked a finish that was well put together. It went on and some of the details were actually useless to the story line.

Lifetime movie of a book

If you’re into lifetime type of drama, you’ll enjoy this book. A lot of fluffy words. Predictable for the most part. I said, “ Girl, come ooon!!?”, quite a few times as a result of my frustration of the main character at times. However, I did enjoy it enough to finish.

It was decent

The performance was impeccable. But the confusion of the wife was so irritating. But overall, I enjoyed this one.

It was okay

This was super predictable and could have been a 3 hour story instead of the length that it was. It sounded like a bunch of privileged people who didn’t really have to work much and could sit around and plot and scheme and perseverate over a man with secrets. Listen if it’s free and you have a long road trip.

Wow!

I never read this author before but she is fantastic. I will eagerly be looking for more of her books

Kind of annoying

I listened to the whole thing to find out what happened, but the whole time I found myself annoyed by the whiny melodramatic tone of both the story and the performance.

Scary

Great story, good characters, interesting premise and surprising end. Tough ending not as expected. I will read other books by this author.

Replacement wife

This is another excellent story from Darby Kane. Loved this thriller/ mystery. Definitely leaves you guessing
