Summary

Scandal and intrigue among the rich and famous, Players is the glamorous debut novel from the bestselling author of The Paris Secret, Karen Swan.

Harry Hunter is the new golden boy of the literary scene. With his books selling by the millions, the paparazzi on his tail, and a supermodel on each arm, he seems to have the world at his feet. Women all over the globe adore him but few suspect that his angelic looks hide a darker side, a side that conceals a lifetime of lies and deceit.

Tor, Cress and Kate have been best friends for as long as they can remember. Through all the challenges of marriage, raising children and maintaining their high flying careers, they have stuck together as a powerful and loyal force to be reckoned with – living proof that twenty-first century women can have it all, and do. It is only when the captivating Harry comes into their lives that things begin to get complicated, as Tor, Cress and Kate are drawn into Harry's dangerous games . . .

Totally worth it

Okay, so this was initially a bit of a slow burn, but it quickly got its momentum and then phew, what a plot! As the characters developed and the story line unfolded it kept you guessing at every little turn, but just when you think you’ve got it sussed, and it leads you think it’s going to be quite transparent… there’s another twist! Absolutely fantastic read, I totally recommend it. Kept you on your toes, I won’t spoil it anymore. It’s a fantastic book go got it! Oh and there’s a brilliant red heron in there to boot!

Loved everything about this book

I've read a number of Karen Swan's books and enjoy them. The Players was a gem, I loved it and wanted to keep listening long after I should have turned off. It sweeps along and draws you in I liked the friendship the 3 girls had. Imogen Church brings the pages to life,

Brillant book

TI really enjoyed this book and recommended it to a friend and they really loved it. The narrator was excellent and really bought the characters to life. Looking forward to enjoying many more from this author.

Unpredictable

As the book went on I struggled more to turn it off as I wanted to know more. It also though became quite complicated and I struggled at times to follow the story, it required more concentration than I'm used to in an audible book.
On the whole I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to another book by this author.
