Summary
Whatever you think you know…you’re wrong.
Following a whirlwind four-month romance, lawyer Claire and hotel entrepreneur Angus are engaged to be married. Happy and successful, and ready to start their new life together, Claire and Angus find what they believe to be the perfect home.
But when Claire meets Mark, the man selling them the house, he looks eerily familiar. He looks exactly like the man she loved five years ago, the man she couldn’t bear to lose.
As Claire finds herself irresistibly drawn to Mark and crosses lines she never thought she’d cross, Angus’ behaviour becomes increasingly suspicious. Soon Claire doesn’t know whether she can trust Mark, Angus…or even herself.
The Couple is a psychological thriller with a stunning twist, perfect for fans of The Girl Before, The Wife Between Us, and The Woman in the Window.
"I got so pulled into The Couple I read it in one go – great twist!" (Harriet Tyce, author of Blood Orange)

Will never get the time (or the credit) back
The narrator was so good that I carried on listening to what was the most unbelievable and mind numbing novel I have ever had the misfortune to spend time listening to. Please can Katie Villa read some good books so that her performance is justified? I know that I am at odds with others over this book but would like to bear warning to those who read the reviews and think they are in for an 'unputdownable psychological thriller with a breathtaking twist'!!

Drivel, don’t bother.
Unrealistic story line, no surprises, irritating characters. Have no idea how this dreadful story managed to get published at all,

Terrible, waste of 10 hours
The story was disappointing and boring. Totally unsatisfied and unimaginative writing.
There was also a buzzing sound throughout most of it in the background which was very distracting.

Completely unbelievable yet gripping
The story line is so unbelievable it's almost funny at times, it's impossible to comprehend how anyone could get so caught up in that kind of situation. The 5 years earlier bits were confusing and the last bit in particular I actually didn't fully get to be honest. Despite its flaws, it was quite gripping and I wanted to know how it ended. The narrator was fairly good expect for the Scottish accent.

Pointless waste of time
This book has no depth at all and is not really a story until the last 9 mins when something happens the build up the what happens is pointless and nothing really, a waste of a credit and a waste of time listening.

great narrator but the story isn't very deep
Don't get me wrong it was a good story but it missed the detail and depth I like in a book. I didn't get a sense of her feelings towards people and herself and she didn't question the weird things people did. Other things were left unanswered, so after being made a big deal of, I didn't get why it wasn't mentioned again. Maybe I missed something but it didn't stop me listening to the whole book.

Not enough substance
I never felt fully connected with the characters which makes this very unbelievable and forgettable. However a good performance and an easy listen.
