About this listen

‘A sexy, sensational novel with intoxicating vengeance and an unexpected tenderness’ No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author Karin Slaughter

A woman who has everything…

People would kill to have Faye Adelheim’s life. She lives in a beautiful apartment, she has a gorgeous husband who gives her everything she’s ever wanted, and she has an adorable daughter who lights up her world.

Or does she?

So how is it, then, that Faye now finds herself in a police station?

The truth is about to come out…

The truth is that Faye’s life is far from what it seems. And now she’s been caught out. There’s no way she’s going down without a fight. The only question is – who will escape with their life?

Critic reviews

‘A sexy, sensational novel with intoxicating vengeance and an unexpected tenderness – The Golden Cage is tensely and skillfully drawn’ Karin Slaughter

‘Lackberg’s new embrace of a terrifying revenge scenario furnishes visceral psychological crime.’ Financial Times

‘The queen of Swedish noir’ iNews

‘Smart, unflinching… [a] novel of female empowerment and triumph over the patriarchy.’ New York Times Book Review

‘The Golden Cage is a fast-paced psychological thriller about betrayal, sex, money, and a scorned wife’s revenge à la Gone Girl.’ Buzzfeed

‘Sexy, scandalous, and terrifying, this is the kind of suspense story you gobble up in one sitting.’ Real Simple

‘Insightful, addictive – and twisted!’ In Touch

‘A sexy, deliciously dark journey.’ Los Angeles Times

‘The doyenne of Swedish crime fiction serves up a propulsive tale… There’s enough haute couture, Cava, and hot sex to sate a devotee of romance fiction, but the real satisfaction comes in watching our heroine reclaim her fierceness.’ O Magazine

‘Läckberg has made a career out of writing ingenious psychological suspense stories … The Golden Cage tells a nasty tale about entrenched male domination in a supposedly enlightened society; great wealth and the soul rot it can breed; and the payback — oh, the sweet, sick payback of a woman used and spurned, rising up from the discard pile.’ Washington Post

"A fabulous, frothy novel." New York Post

‘A twisty tale set squarely inside the world of the very rich and very fabulous." Glamour US

‘Sexy… exquisite… scorching… Läckberg reinforces her position as the thriller queen of Scandinavia.’ Publishers Weekly

Fabulous plot

Stunning narration brings spellbinding story so beautifully to life that I found it difficult not to lsten until the very end of the book in one sitting. Brilliant. Can't wait to read the next Camilla Lackberg. Thank you Audible.

Stunning narration

Faye is very smart but very needy from an horrific childhood and all she wanted was a good marriage. It is not difficult to understand why she set up her father and husband but why did she have to kill unimportant Victor who was forgotten in the book as soon as she walked away? That is the dark part. I listen with ear pods; there was no sudden blasting music and the narration didn't offend my ears. Excellent story, I have read all her books and would rate this one more that five.

I have read several of Camilla Lackbergs books, this is quite raunchy compared to her others so you wouldn’t really want to listen to it on a car journey with others! Having said that I enjoyed it.

Different to her other books
