A. J. Banner
From best-selling author A.J. Banner comes a dazzling new novel of psychological suspense in the vein of S.J. Watson's Before I Go to Sleep and Mary Kubica's The Good Girl that questions just how much we can trust the people around us.
Thirty-four-year-old marine biologist Kyra Winthrop remembers nothing about the diving accident that left her with a complex form of memory loss. With only brief flashes of the last few years of her life, her world has narrowed to a few close friendships on the island where she lives with her devoted husband, Jacob.
But all is not what it seems. Kyra begins to have visions - or are they memories? - of a rocky marriage, broken promises, and cryptic relationships with the island residents, whom she believes to be her friends.
As Kyra races to uncover her past, the truth becomes a terrifying nightmare. A twisty, immersive thriller, The Twilight Wife will keep listeners enthralled through the final, shocking twist.

I usually enjoy Ms. Campbell's narrations and chose this book because of her, but her usually crisp, clear voice had been replaced by a ridiculous breathy, wispy version of Marilyn Monroe. Very annoying and difficult to imagine any kind of strength or intelligence behind it! Pass.
Mediocre, ordinary listen. Would not recommend.

The storyline reminds me of The Girl On The Train- dark deception that slowly reveals itself through memories and flashbacks. I loved the way the flashbacks were seamlessly intertwined into the present day narrative.
It was a tiny bit slow and repetitive in some parts and I would have liked the 'big reveal' (of Kyra finding out the truth) to go on a bit longer without Jacob finding out- the ending came very quickly for me. That being said I still really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who's looking for a good and easy mystery read!
+ the audible narration is two thumbs up!
Great Read!

The Twilight Wife by A.J. Banner is the story of Kyra Winthrop, a marine biologist in her
mid-thirties who is suffering from memory loss due to a head injury. Kyra’s journey to recovery is fascinating, mysterious, and frustrating all at once. The setting and her marriage appear to be perfect - at least at first. As the story progresses, doubt seeps in, carried by a wave of Kyra’s dreams mixed with possible memories. The uncertainty is palpable...What is real? Who can be trusted? What actually happened? Why?
Most of the characters are very well-drawn.. However, it is the setting and the sense of being trapped in a very remote environment- an alternate universe - that gives this book its unique and compelling power.
Uncertainty and mystery hang over every aspect of the story and all of its characters, including Kyra herself. For at least a portion of the book, the reader is not entirely sure what sort of person Kyra is or used to be before her injury. The plot twists in very unique ways that did surprise me.
The Twilight Wife is a clever, tightly constructed novel. The performance provided by Cassandra Campbell contributes substantially to the overall mystery and suspense. Her slightly haughty delivery makes the reader a tiny bit unsure about Kyra, which is perfect.
However, I was still left with mixed feelings. While The Twilight Wife is entertaining and well-crafted, it left me wanting. I think this is because in order for the story to unfold as it does, the reader must be kept at arm’s length. Reading this story during the time of a pandemic which keeps everyone apart physically and psychologically highlights this intrinsic disconnect. At any other time, I might’ve viewed this device as a bonus, but at this time, it just made me a little sad and dissatisfied.
The sea holds all secrets, memories, and dreams

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I got very bored of this book. My mind would wander to other things. I want a book to take my mind off of mundane things and this book did the oppositeWhat was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Most interesting was the story itself. Lost memories, who can you trust etc. The least interesting was that is was so slow paced. The main character seemed and spoke like an idiot.How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator sounds almost whiny the entire time. She drove me crazyCould you see The Twilight Wife being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
No. I am not sure how one could compare this to Girl on the Train or any other of those books however I'm sure if this was made into a movie it would probably be written better than this book.Any additional comments?
Not a recommendation. Not sure if I even care to bother finishing it.A struggle to get through
