Summary
The perfect boyfriend...or the perfect liar? Should Have Known Better is the tense new psychological thriller by A J McDine.
It’s the moment single-mum Kate has been dreading. With her only daughter, Chloe, about to leave home, she’s terrified by the prospect of an empty nest. That is until she meets charming lawyer Adam. He could be the perfect catch - if it wasn’t for his clingy son.
Because Ben has a crush on Chloe. A crush that is fast becoming an obsession. Flattered by the attention, Chloe is happy to string him along - for now at least. But Kate can see the danger signs, even if her daughter can't. And when Chloe’s life begins spiralling out of control, Kate must make a choice - trust her instincts or lose her daughter forever....

Gripped from the start
Before finding this book to listen to, I had tried 5 others and just couldn’t get into them. However from the very first chapter of this one, I was hooked! Great story line, brilliant narration, and another author found that I will now listen to.

A really good listen …
I enjoyed this book, although it was very obvious as to who was the main culprit . Worth a listen and I’ll look out for other books by this author.

DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE MY HEADPHONES OFF!
I absolutely LOVED this book. As soon as I put my headphones on, I didn’t want to take them off. I found myself thinking about the characters while I was supposed to be working and it got to the point where I was grabbing my headphones at every opportunity, even in the few moments it takes to make a cuppa.
I love thrillers because I like hunting for clues and trying to figure out who the perpetrator is, and while I still enjoy thrillers I figure out, I’m always a little disappointed when it’s obvious from the outset. With SHKB, I was convinced it was going to be one of those, I was sure I could see what was coming. But as the story unravelled, I became more and more uncertain until, in the end, I had no idea which way it was going to go.
For me, that’s the sign of a very well-written and well-executed thriller: when you’re left guessing right to the end, drawn deeply into the lives of the characters so you think about them and root for them even when you're not listening, and you're on the edge of your seat to reach the exciting conclusion.
I read a lot of thrillers, this is the second I’ve read by AJ, and she’s up there with the best. I’ll definitely be buying more of her books.

I loved this
Really enjoyable I really do love A J McDine and loved Emma Powell as the narrator, hope to hear more from her in the psychological suspense novels. I am now obsessed with listing to every single book as fast as humanly possible.
