The first wife seems like a disaster; her replacement is the perfect woman. You will assume you know the motives, the history, the anatomy of the relationships. You will be wrong.

'Are you happy in your life?' Those are the last words Jason Dessen hears before the masked abductor knocks him unconscious.

She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood, the trunk of her car is big enough for a body, and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures of her dinner to Instagram when she should be mourning her 'missing' boyfriend.

Brought to you by Penguin.
I know you don’t know me, but you have to help me. I didn’t kill anyone.
When Rowan stumbles across the advert, it seems like too good an opportunity to miss: a live-in nanny position, with a staggeringly generous salary. And when she arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten by the luxurious ‘smart’ home fitted out with all modern conveniences, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and by this picture-perfect family.
What she doesn’t know is that she’s stepping into a nightmare - one that will end with a child dead and her in a cell awaiting trial for murder.
She knows she’s made mistakes. But she’s not guilty - at least not of murder. Which means someone else is....

When I see a book that is read by Imogen Church, I know I am in for a book that cant be put down! I have had books written by Ruth Ware before but I couldn't stop listening to this book, it was a very good story, kept me guessing what the end would be, and very surprised when it was revealed , didn't see that coming!!and brilliantly read by Imogen, as always, she is my favourite narrator, always amazes me how she puts so much into reading a book,, always keeps one interested in what she reads. Ready now to download the next book by Ruth, if this book is anything to go by, I wont be disappointed!

Ghost story ?
My first read/listen by Ruth Ware. I was not overly taken with the story, partly because is was so ludicrously improbable, especially when the plot was unravelled towards the end. If you like being scared, it had its old fashioned edge-of-the-seat scary moments, not badly written. It was hard to like the main character, and she was her own worst enemy. Losers don't make for good heroines.

The complete package
This is everything you'd look for in an audio book. The plot is well constructed, not overly complex but has its really great moments. The characters all stand out for us and are well defined. The narration is excellent. The narrator has taken the time to read the book, got to know the book and puts in a great performance on every line. The only one slightly irritating thing is a slight overdose of the upper middle classes. We have many uses of the word "supper" not dinner. For some reason, for me this word smacks of people who've never done a proper day's work in their lives. Anyway, I digress. This book is great. If you want to listen in large doses then you won't be able to stop. For a short bedtime listen then you won't find it a problem to follow the story over a period of several weeks or months. This really is as close to a perfect audio book as I've ever found. I really like the other Ruth Ware stories as well.

Frightening
Gripping with suspense from the first few pages. If you enjoy psychological thrillers this one is for you. The ending is seemingly left hanging in the air, but I get it. Since I put the book down I’ve been anxiously contemplating the choices. The suspense and the dread simply continues. A very good read.

Edge of the seat
Absolutely loved the narrator! Different narrators for each character couldn't have made them more distinct. The story was at times predictable, but knowing what was going to happen only added to the excitement. I found myself shouting "don't do this!" or "you've GOT to leave NOW!" The ending, however, was anything but predictable. I didn't see it coming.

A screw loose?
What an absolutely appalling rendition of Henry James’ The Turn of The Screw. The plot was predictable (to be expected in a re-invention), but all attempts to modernise the story just made it far more difficult to suspend my disbelief due to the terrible lampshading and obvious tropes. As for the supposed ‘twist in the tale’, the first two were easily guessed and the final one so ridiculous and last minute that it offered nothing to the story. My Audible AU account has approx. 350 books and my Audible US account has approx. 150 in there. Never once have I bothered to actually write a review, rather than just use the star rating, but given that I often use the reviews to make my purchase decisions and rely on the word of others. I could not in good conscience let this one pass so as to be sure no one else wastes their time or money. If you are looking for a good suspense read I would recommend The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell or even better Too Close by Natalie Daniels.

Outstanding narration
Just fabulous narration by Imogen Church – this just made the book for me! I wish I could give her more stars for her skilful performance! I considered only rating the story as 4 stars to reflect how good I thought the narration, but no, the story is worth five stars in its own right. Suspense until the end – with the benefit of having finished the book, I should have seen everything coming, but that’s the brilliance of the writer, I didn’t.

That was shocking!
I have formulated a lot of theories while listening to this one and I can't really choose, up to the last hour, which would be right. But yeah, it had me guessing throughout and that was great!
