About this listen

It Was Always You is a stunning psychological thriller which fans of authors like BA Paris, Clare Mackintosh and Fiona Barton are sure to love.

Morgan isn’t sure about her new boyfriend, Justin. Before the couple go on a romantic weekend trip, Morgan attends an appointment with her neurologist, Dr. Koftura, who has monitored her since an accident she had when she was seven years old. Morgan has a history of sabotaging her romantic relationships, and the doctor is concerned that she is following the same patterns with Justin.

On the day of their trip, Justin runs the car off the road into a tree, killing himself and hurting Morgan. When she awakens in the hospital, Morgan has little time to grapple with this loss before detectives arrive to question her.

As it becomes clear that the detectives believe Morgan is responsible for Justin’s death, Morgan must unlock the secrets of her past to prove her innocence.

From the beginning this story lacked an engaging story line, perhaps the background of the foster kids came out too late in the story to connect the relevance at key stages.

I’m still surprised I listened to the entire story, I struggled with engagement

It was a good story but not very well rounded or astounding. I enjoyed it and finished it but wouldn’t want to listen again.

Great twist but ok overall.

I was hooked early and thought I had guessed the mystery about 3/4 of the way through.. alas the ending was so way out it left me disappointed. Also the narrator sounded like a fifty something woman instead of a mid twenties character so my mind kept flipping to that..

It was promising but..

This story was really well paced and was interesting to listen to. I certainly didn't guess the ending, and felt that was a bit rushed and would have preferred had it been explained and fleshed out a bit more. Nonetheless, it was still enjoyable and I'll probably listen to other books from this author.

Really good. I didn't see the ending coming. The narrator was good.

Bit of a slow start to get into but got better as the story progressed. The only questionable part was the motive of the perpetrator. Their motive for targeting the protagonist did not make much sense. It felt like a desperate attempt to create a surprise ending by connecting the protagonist to a villain that you would not expect.

Gets more interesting as you listen.

The plot developed really nicely. I couldn't put this one down. The main character occasionally felt very whiny but other than that this was a great read.

unexpected ending
