The characters are in the main irritating, again can’t say why as will give it away, I guessed the ‘baddy’ early on so no surprises there and once they are unearthed the book ends, abruptly

I was kept guessing the whole way through. I love those books where you decide what the deal is and then realise that it can't possibly be and then you end up having to question your entire life. But how could they be connected? Both women live in totally different areas. As the police begin to investigate, they start to think perhaps someone may have wanted to hurt the women. Why? Yes, as the saying goes if a wife goes missing, the husband is always the prime suspect, but in this case, they are the ones who called saying they were missing. This one was fast-paced for the majority of the book and I really enjoyed seeing a troupe that is normally done by male characters carried out by women. It was a great twist on a relatively highly used plot that really bumped things up for me overall. While I did kind of guess what was happening for the last 10% or so, it did have a pretty satisfying ending.

Devoted wife and mother, Martha, discovers her husband’s infidelity. She finds she has two choices: hide away behind the school runs and home baking or have amazing sex with an inappropriate stranger. Who’d have thought she’d find true love swinging from the chandeliers? I listened to the book and was thrilled with the narrator! She managed so many speech patterns and accents I often though there was more than one performer. As for the mystery, I guessed most of it incorrectly but at least the culprit was someone I suspected. That ending…well, it left me speechless. Get ready for a journey you won’t want to interrupt and some clever twists. I couldn’t put the book down because I just had to kn

This audio started a bit slowly, taking me quite a while to engage. I wish I could say it kept me on the edge of my seat, but nope. It just plugged along to an ending, that just didn’t work for me. (perhaps a bit too open-ended for my liking)🤷‍♀️ It's 1914 if he goes away, he will become a killer or be killed. If he stays, he will be imprisoned, perhaps shot. If she follows her heart, she will be disgraced, ostracised. If she follows convention, she will be ignored, isolated. A generation faces unbearable choices. First off this is impossible to say anything much about without giving it away ( I think ) so I wont be doing or even hinting at it what the book is about 😎 In the end, I didn't have complete buy-in with the explanation for everything. Yet overall, there's still something compulsively readable about this book, so I'm glad I read it even though I didn't love it.

Well, turns out, it's neither one. It's her best friend Fiona, who goes full psycho after realizing that Kaileigh has managed to snag two wonderful husbands while Fiona routinely finds herself used and dumped by unavailable and/or married men. One of the married men just happened to be Daan.Enjoyed this. Hard ro review without giving away a key twist. Let's just say it's worth the wait and makes a lot of things fall into place!
