Story
Simon and Vicky couldn’t seem more normal: a wealthy Chicago couple, he a respected law professor, she an advocate for domestic violence victims. A stable, if unexciting marriage. But one thing’s for sure: absolutely nothing is what it seems. The pair are far from normal, and one of them just may be a killer. When the body of a beautiful socialite is found hanging in a mansion in a nearby suburb, Simon and Vicky’s secrets begin to unravel. A secret whirlwind affair. A twenty-million-dollar trust fund about to come due.

Story
Eve has a good life. She wakes up each day, kisses her husband Nate, and heads off to teach math at the local high school. All is as it should be. Except… Last year, Caseham High was rocked by a scandal involving a student-teacher affair, with one student, Addie, at its center. But Eve knows there is far more to these ugly rumors than meets the eye. Addie can’t be trusted. She lies. She hurts people. She destroys lives. At least, that’s what everyone says. But nobody knows the real Addie. Nobody knows the secrets that could destroy her. And Addie will do anything to keep it quiet…

A mixed experience
Audiobook review.
“Even with the clown-like makeup you could tell she was pretty - and had probably once been beautiful. Natural blonde hair, blue eyes and large breasts that she was showing off in a v-neck shirt and cardigan sweater.”
Get used to these descriptions, even from female characters the male gaze of the author makes itself evident. The unashamed ageism of this part “she was probably beautiful once”, was incredibly off-putting for me. As if at 35 a women is drained of her beauty. And the character who thought this is supposed to be somewhat sympathetic to us. But alas, these things pass by unnoticed (probably seem pedantic to you reading this, even), as it is so normal in our culture to treat older people as inferior, no longer capable of being beautiful (character mentioned is presumably only in her 30s / 40s no less, based on surrounding characters’ ages). There is no other context to account for her loss of beauty but age.
The voice actors are also unsuitable - ironically here, a 28 year old characters’ voice is played by someone much older and it is incredibly distracting due to the inconsistency. The voices don’t do the text any favours, although the text does possess some charm, aside from that aforementioned. Another actor insists on using old English pronunciation of /hw/ instead of the more natural /wh/… H-white, h-where, it’s relentless. The story itself is fine so far. I was hooked for a while there - but finding these other factors very distracting, and now contemplating a DNF at only halfway.
