About this listen

Your wife is a liar.

Has your wife told you the truth yet?

Do you know who Claire really is?

Lenny has always known that his wife, Claire, is the love of his life. But somehow his marriage is in shambles, he’s struggling with the kids, and a string of anonymous text messages are tormenting him, insisting that Claire is a liar.

Claire knows Lenny is a good man, but there’s a lot she hasn’t told him about her past. Now she’s terrified that the horrors that haunt her are about to put her entire family in danger.

Strange new neighbours, insidious clients and schoolyard scandal begin to fracture Claire and Lenny’s happy families façade. As secrets are revealed and pasts uncovered, the lies will be exposed and everyone's lives will change forever.

A gripping suburban thriller from the bestselling author of Beneath the Shadows and The Hush.

"The fast-moving flow from placid family life to a deeply disturbing secret drives this suspenseful tale." Kirkus Reviews

The Information made this sound worth listening.
Didn’t take me to guess the Suspect.

Female Narration, easy to listen to.

Male Narrator, soooo monotone, in the the extreme !!

Sounded bored with the Story, no inflections in his voice, which, make me think he didn’t care as long as he was getting, his payment.

IF I choose this Author once again, I’m going to make darn sure the Male Narrator is NOT this one.

Not surprising A. H

Too predictable for my liking. The female narrator's breathy voice too much. I was waiting for a plot twist that never came. can't see what the fuss it about.

Where was the suspense?

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The male narrator is very good and believeable, but the f email narrator is faking a posh accent which is annoying.

The story is excellent at first and kept my attention but becomes very melodramatic at the end and the climax is soft.

Starts ok but loses momentum

Captivating

This is everything you could want in a thriller - engaging characters who you can’t quite trust, a slow reveal and a credible story with all the loose ends sewn up. Loved it!

Perfection

Really well written it kept me engaged until the end. I liked how each character had a chapter each. It felt like I was hearing both of them

Loved it
