Summary
 A Pretty Woman tale turns deadly in this provocative story of sex, obsession and murder from Robyn Harding, the 'master of domestic suspense' (Kathleen Barber) and the bestselling author of The Party.

Natalie, an art student in New York City, is struggling to pay her bills when a friend makes a suggestion: why not find a sugar daddy – a wealthy older man who will pay her for dates, and provide a monthly allowance. All that’s required is to look pretty. Sexual favours are optional.

Gabe, a handsome finance attorney, seems like the perfect candidate and within a month they are madly in love. At least, Nat is – Gabe already has a family who he has no intention of leaving.

When he abruptly ends things, Nat can’t let go. She begins drinking heavily and stalking Gabe and his family. Their supposedly mutually beneficial arrangement devolves into a nightmare of deception, obsession and, when a body is found near Gabe’s Upper East Side apartment, murder.

‘An insider’s look into the world of sugar daddies … full of shocking revelations, volatile characters, and vice. Look out: The Arrangement will blow your mind.’ Mary Kubica, author of The Good Girl

‘A nightmarish deep dive into the underbelly of a secret world. Rivetingly dark, The Arrangement delivers on every level – a shocking premise, a forbidden obsession, and a plot that builds slowly and masterfully escalates to a chilling end. Prepare to be blindsided.’ Heather Gudenkauf, author of These Things Happen Domestic Thrillers Genre Fiction Psychological Suspense Thriller & Suspense Women's Fiction Fiction Crime

I enjoyed listening to this book on my long drives. A simple story line but very captivating and easy to listen to. I liked the drama in it and it kept me guessing to the end !

Ultimately I really did enjoy this book. It did get a bit slow in the middle and I got a more than a little frustrated by the behaviour of the main protagonist but the story picked up and summed up beautifully.
Stick with it, it’s a good story!

Well worth it…

The ending is fab though. The author’s character descriptions and different voices were skilful. The reader can picture the characters clearly.

Robotic narrator, unlikeable heroine

The main character Natalie lacks depth and is down right annoying. The author appeared to have a thesaurus close at hand as many times throughout the book three or more words in a row with the same meaning are offered. It seemed like fillers used to make up a word count. Annoying to listen to and did not add to the storyline. Plot is weak.

Narration has common words mispronounced.

On par with a trashy magazine.

It was good and I enjoyed it. However I found some bits dragged out with not really much focus on the murder mystery of it!

Good story line
