Summary
Completely gripping psychological suspense
Sarah Morgan is a successful and powerful defense attorney in Washington D.C. At 33 years old, she is a named partner at her firm and life is going exactly how she planned.
The same cannot be said for her husband, Adam. He is a struggling writer who has had little success in his career. He begins to tire of his and Sarah’s relationship as she is constantly working.
Out in the secluded woods, at Adam and Sarah’s second home, Adam engages in a passionate affair with Kelly Summers.
Then, one morning everything changes. Adam is arrested for Kelly’s murder. She has been found stabbed to death in Adam and Sarah’s second home.
Sarah soon finds herself playing the defender for her own husband, a man accused of murdering his mistress.
But is Adam guilty or is he innocent?

not worth the money
Bad writing. Unnecessary use of the word "F****t' narrators did great job given the material.

A corny cop/lawyer/murder conundrum.
I had high hopes for this book after a friend had mentioned it was a great read. The holes in the plot were gargantuan, plus the husband's character was very annoying.
Spend your money on something else.

Very predictable but still enjoyable
I guessed who committed the murder pretty much straight away and then spent the rest of the book hoping it wouldn’t be that obvious….. but it was! Not the most believable story with some cliched characters, but still a relatively enjoyable easy listen. A solid 3 stars

Gripped from the start
Not my normal book choice but it was recommended and I finished it in a day! I loved this book such great twists and I didn’t guess the end at all it was such a brilliant thriller and couldn’t recommend it enough to someone wanting to try this genre.

Surprisingly good
Didn’t expect much when I started this but couldn’t put it down. Fans of Gillian Flynn will like this!

Tremendous
I have no idea why Scott didn't like this book. It is fast paced and does keep you guessing. I did guess the end but I read thrillers constantly so I guess most endings.
Definitely give it a go.

I was hooked
I love murder mysteries as it is so when this was recommended in my book club I was keen to get started. I was hooked from the start and although I had my suspicions the twist ending was a great finish to an otherwise very likeable book

Incredible
I was absolutely hooked from the first sentence. Incredibly captivating story with a brilliant twist. I am however disappointed that Scott’s email was so incorrect.

I enjoyed this!
I liked the narrators, especially liked that there were 2 for each of the main characters. The story was great, easy to 'read' and the ending! Didn't see that coming!
I recommend.

No, just no!
I don't normally write reviews of books I didn't like. Writing is hard and I admire anyone who can write a whole book, and some things are just based on personal taste. But this author did something I can't tolerate: she violated the contract with the reader. In first person narration, you can't have people thinking one way all through the book and suddenly changing their thoughts at the end to create a "plot twist." I can't believe so many readers went along with this and rated it five stars, but for me this was not just unacceptable, but outrageous. Sorry I wasted my time on this.

*No Spoiler*
The story line was comically predictable. The writing with a border line high school level. I bought into all the wonderful reviews only to be incredibly disappointed. Don't waste your credit.

Excruciating listen
The writing is horrible and forced. The male narrator's performance is over the top. A few gems: "The contrast [between new and old parts of a town] was almost poetic in its sadness;" "The first time I saw her it was as if i had been grabbed around the throat with two hands." "She brings out my animal instinct." - These all from the male narrator. From female narrator: Hard to recall the irritating and trite statements she made but they were mostly about how great she was- i.e. the police detective looked at her with newfound respect after she came out of the bathroom at the station. He must have googled her and found out who she was - the best defense lawyer around. Blah blah blah. All along the lines of how she is such a "*** -buster" and so accomplished, hard working, brilliant, etc. The line "her blond bun was tight with not a strand out of place" was written at least three times at different points to describe her in the first 45 minutes or so of the audiobook - which was as far as I got. The dialogue is just bad. Example: "X (don't remember the character's name) was the first person I met in my first year at Yale Law School." Then later, after X sees the female narrator "in action" giving a closing statement to the court: "Wow, so impressed. i haven't seen you in action since moot court at Yale Law School." Anyone who went to Yale Law School - or any law school for that matter - would not have to say the full name when speaking to a cohort. You'd just say, "last time i saw you in action was in moot court in law school."
So poorly written that I couldn't focus on the plot. It might have been interesting to see how it played out, but it was not worth it to slog through that writing. I literally cringed so many times over the less than an hour I spent listening. Do yourself a favor and don't waste a credit on this one.

So ridiculous
I cannot believe this book got so many great reviews. I don’t write a lot of reviews but I just had to for this one. I think if this was a young adult book I could maybe understand, although maybe then they couldn’t throw in all the F bombs! But honestly it felt like it was written by a high schooler. It was silly, and remedial and all over the place.

Everything I Like In A Domestic Thriller
NO SPOILERS!
I listen to 100s of psychological thrillers and it’s rare for me to not figure things out. This book had me hooked from chapter one and kept me guessing until the end. I loved that there are two narrators, both are excellent. The author took some risks in the story and that is refreshing.
I suggest this book to those that like dark domestic, legal, and/or psychological thrillers. The characters are entertaining, but stay away if you take issue with “f”bombs and explicit sexual situations. I personally love thrillers with all of that if it serves a purpose and with this one it did. It’s not for prudes.

Bad Example of True Crime / Thriller Genre
Spoiler Alert: Lying to your readers is not a twist. It's not. If the characters inner monologues are just lying to the reader that's just bad writing. It's not a jaw dropping twist at the end it's a cheap way to shock readers without doing any of the work to build that twist. I will also not forgive this writer for the phrases "knick-knacks" and "diddle dipping". I've read a lot of this genre and seen a lot of shows for this genre and this just isn't the way to get that wow factor. There's SO MANY plot holes and legal issues with this book that the only way this "twist" works is by disregarding any semblance of reality.

Slow start great ending
For me personally the beginning was a little slow but I kept listening and was soon hooked. Every time I thought I had it figured out I was definitely proved wrong. That ending will have you jaw dropped.

A true page turner
I liked how the author got my attention in the first few chapters. As I read, I found myself wanting to know more. The story was easy to follow and I did not see the twists coming. Every surprise was intriguing. I loved the ending. I really enjoyed this book.
