About this listen

From the bestselling author of Anatomy of a Scandal, now a major Netflix series… Reputation: it takes a lifetime to build and just one moment to destroy.

‘Sarah Vaughan has done it again. Superb’ Shari Lapena

Emma Webster is a respectable MP. Emma Webster is a devoted mother. Emma Webster is innocent of the murder of a tabloid journalist. Emma Webster is a liar.

#Reputation: The story you tell about yourself. And the lies others choose to believe…

'Uncannily timely… As dark and gripping as you’d expect from the author of Anatomy of a Scandal’ Observer

‘A terrifically entertaining legal drama and an unsettling cautionary tale for any woman considering entering politics’ Louise Candlish

‘Perceptive, elegant, thrilling and addictive’ Chris Whitaker

‘Tense. Gripping. And bang up to date. This is a rollercoaster of a book’ Imran Mahmood

‘Wonderfully written, tense, taut and timely. I loved it!’ Claire Douglas

‘A stylish, challenging thriller. Do yourself a favour and read this book’ Fiona Cummins

‘Sarah Vaughan has distilled the zeitgeist into a pulse-racing thriller. Gripping all the way’ Erin Kelly

‘I read Reputation in one sitting, which is my highest possible praise’ Bella Mackie

‘Sarah Vaughan has another smash hit on her hands. Reputation is nuanced, complex, and thought-provoking, while still being a gripping, fast-paced read’ Louise O’Neill

‘Sarah Vaughan does it again. Another taut, gripping thriller that also shines a light on some of the most important issues of the day' Bryony Gordon

While this story told an important lesson on how society treats women in power, I found the characters one dimensional and unrelatable. I think this may have been due to the brittle narration which made all of the characters sound like angry elderly women with no vulnerability or softness which contradicted how the main character in particular was written. The ending was predictable and I didn’t finish the last half hour as I just wasn’t invested

A very modern story with a few good twists. " oh what a web we weave when we learn to decive".

What a tale.

This story touches on some important lessons about how women in politics (or society in general) are treated and while there were a few twists to the story it was rather linear and predictable. I did enjoy the court proceedings part of the story as it really helped narrate what happened that night. I did, however, have difficulty relating to any of the characters as their demeaners and attitudes towards each other were unbelievable in some things and while it's a good lesson as to the effects cyber bullying, stalking and the social/mainstream media can have on people the story itself was average

I feel the narrator for this story didn't portray the characters emotions enough to give much weight to their stories as it felt more like whinging rather than the emotional breakdown some of the characters were going through

Ok story with some important topics

Got better towards the end. Would have been a much sharper read if edited down by about half. Like so many contemporary novels it is repetitive to the point of boredom and the genuinely interesting material gets swamped by verbiage. Excellent performance by the reader.

Suffers from overwriting
