Frustrating “Gotcha” Tactic

Revisado: 06-30-24

This book, similar to The Wrong Woman, gets frustrating, as the last bit of information shared in the book is spent revealing all of this information that couldn’t have somehow been gaged at all through the book. I understand that predictability isn’t great in a thriller, and I agree with that, but endings like this appear to be cheap, as if there was no other way to tell a story like this. Amy and Nick are both problematic characters in their own way—Nick avoids spending time with his family/is selfish and Amy spends time worrying that her mediocre husband will cheat again. The characters are basic, as they never grow or learn any lesson. The son is insufferable the whole time, and the youngest daughter appears someone ignored. The “twist” at the end isn’t really a twist that “works”. It seems thrown together.

Love Catherine Steadman

I also love that she narrates her own books! Such an interesting story and I can’t wait for any other writing that Steadman does.

Spoilers/Plot Holes

Revisado: 11-17-20

The narrator is definitely worth listening to in this book. There were a couple of points where the plot seemed to have holes. At one point she can’t remember the names of the escorts but when she is reflecting just a couple seconds later, she says their names even before finding out what their names actually were. Another part is when Orla says that she received a voicemail from Toby about Kate and the credit card bill. When she mentions the credit card spending to Toby later, he says that he wasn’t aware of Kate still having access to his card.

I feel like Orla was infuriating, and I absolutely disliked Kate from the beginning. Rob/Toby were horrible too, which helps to make the story line even more suspenseful because anyone that new Kate could have something against her based on many things

I do want to make sure to give the author credit for an enthralling plot though. I ended up finishing it in less than two days because I decided to not only listen to it while driving and on my run, but while I was eating dinner and working too.

Well written and narrated

Revisado: 09-22-16

This book sets up a tough situation for the narrator and follows her through well to the end. Loved the ending as well.
