About this listen

Our marriage started out as a scandal. He was my professor, and I was his student. But every scandal eventually fades. I just didn't know our love would, too.

We had it all—a lake house, two kids, and twenty years of marriage. Except, our marriage was no longer exciting. We scheduled intimacy, ate meals in silence, and became strangers.

Our kids went off to college, and we were now empty-nesters, trying to reconnect. But my husband, a psychology professor and thriller novelist, had other plans. Perhaps writing a fictional novel had him living in a false reality? Perhaps he was having a mid-life crisis?

He didn't want to reconnect with me; he just wanted to replace me. Worst of all, the girl he was having an affair with was our son's girlfriend.

Betraying me was one thing, but betraying our son…? I had to make him pay.

So, I hired my son's girlfriend to lure my husband and to stay away from my son. But soon after, bodies began to turn up, the truth started to blur, and lies began to grow.

My husband swore I was overreacting and nothing is as it seems, but I don't believe him.

Dragged on a bit and was just too far fetched. It went on a bit for my liking too and got fed up of her saying the same thing about her marriage.

Too far fetched for me

This book could have been great. In fact, it was great until about the last ten chapters.

The book could have finished on a high but it just kept going and going! The additional chapters added nothing to the story other than one implausible event after another. It was as if the author decided to just throw in all the possible endings she had thought about when drafting the novel.

Such a shame as up until then it had been a twisty, exciting novel to listen to.

Wouldn’t rush to read

I loved that the story was never predictable and the ending was just amazing
