About this listen

Till death do us part…

Luke Whitney is stabbed to death. His wife Anna confesses after she is found next to his lifeless body. But if she did it, why can't she confirm any of the details of the crime?

As police dig into the circumstances, they learn that the victim was a liar, a cheat and a narcissist. More than one person had a reason to want him dead; his scorned ex, his neglected mistress and Anna – who knows what happens to Mrs Whitneys when Luke gets bored of them.

Luke Whitney had it coming. But who made sure he got what he deserved?

The latest twisty, propulsive psychological thriller from international bestseller Jenny Blackhurst. Perfect for fans of Adele Parks, Claire Douglas and Shari Lapena.

I enjoyed the story, although I can't believe any women would want to be with that kind of husband. The cast was good, and I was surprised by the twist at the end, which came almost an afterthought, well done. usually I can guess the outcome well before time.

Great twist right at the end

Good plot, well paced. Little bit messy at the end and could probably have used a final paragraph to wrap it up.

cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery are different fields of medicine...which speciality was Luke? If he was a plastic surgeon he'd have no reason to be jealous of his surgical colleagues.

Each time I thought i had figured it out. The author threw another plot twist. One after the other. Couldn’t put it down. Was listening to this book until I knew. Amazing.
