About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of I Looked Away by Jane Corry, read by Rachel Bavidge.

Every Monday Ellie looks after her 4-year-old grandson Josh. The love she feels for him is different to anything she's experienced before. The only thing that can mar her happiness is her husband's affair. But he swore it was over, and Ellie has decided to be thankful for what she's got.

Then one day, while she's looking after Josh, her husband gets a call from that woman. And in a moment of pure rage, Ellie takes her eyes off her grandson.

The accident that happens will change Ellie's life forever.

Not least when the police discover that her younger brother died in suspicious circumstances thirty-five years ago...

I have enjoyed all of Jane Corry’s books but was a little sceptical about this one as I thought ‘the dead ex’ wasn’t as good as her first two. I feel she’s back to her best with this one. Fantastic twist, great character development.

Loved it!

I’ll direct my response to the author Jane Corry, I’ve listened to every one of your books, I listen to audio books while driving daily to and from work and at the beginning of I Looked Away I was thinking I’m not sure if I’m going to finish this book. But I stayed with it and by the time I was half way thru I was enthralled in this story and left wandering how it was all going to come together and why. I was amazed at not only your research but also your telling of your own story at the end of this book and how this impacted the writing of this book. I looked away for me has been your best work.

What an unexpected story

Great book and I did not see the twist coming at all. Well worth the read

Great twist

I have enjoyed other books written by Jane and was looking forward to getting into this one. But the performance is terrible! The style of writing is not her usual style either. I found I was just listening to words. I could not get past the first chapter

Disappointing
