Story
The art of love is never a science.: Meet Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially inept professor of genetics, who’s decided it’s time he found a wife. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which Don approaches all things, he designs The Wife Project to find his perfect partner: a 16-page, scientifically valid survey to filter out the drinkers, the smokers, the late arrivers. Yet, Rosie Jarman possesses all these qualities and. Don easily disqualifies her as a suitable candidate (even if she is "quite intelligent for a barmaid").

Story
Holly is feeling on top of the world - celebrating a new promotion and dying to pop the champagne with her best friend Roz. But is Holly just imagining things, or is Roz - who supported her every step of the way - not as happy for her as she should be? Something about Roz's behaviour doesn't add up. And soon Holly has the sneaking suspicion that there's a target on her back. Has someone been playing dirty in a war Holly didn't know she was fighting? And is Roz more tangled up in this than she'll admit? Only one woman can be left standing - but will the best woman win?

We would do anything for our beautiful little girl, Maisie. But now Shaun has moved in with Joanne, and suddenly Maisie has a brand-new family. And there’s something not quite right about it....

Story
Laurie is pretty sure love at first sight doesn't exist. After all, life isn't a scene from the movies, is it? But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man whom she knows instantly is the one. Their eyes meet, there's a moment of pure magic...and then her bus drives away. Laurie thinks she'll never see the boy from the bus again. But at their Christmas party a year later, her best friend, Sarah, introduces her to the new love of her life. Who is, of course, the boy from the bus.

Publisher's Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of The House Swap by Rebecca Fleet, read by Sian Brooke, Adam James, Josh Dylan and Kirsty Dillon.
‘No one lives this way unless they want to hide something.’
When Caroline and Francis receive an offer to house swap, they jump at the chance for a week away from home. After the difficulties of the past few years, they’ve worked hard to rebuild their marriage for their son’s sake; now they want to reconnect as a couple.
On arrival, they find a house that is stark and sinister in its emptiness - it’s hard to imagine what kind of person lives here. Then, gradually, Caroline begins to uncover some signs of life - signs of her life. The flowers in the bathroom or the music in the CD player might seem innocent to her husband, but to her they are anything but. It seems the person they have swapped with is someone she used to know; someone she’s desperate to leave in her past.
But that person is now in her home - and they want to make sure she’ll never forget....
Critic Reviews
"Rebecca Fleet has created a perfectly contained cast of credible characters in a story so intriguing that you will be guessing right up to the last page. And it’s beautifully written too. I loved this book." (Liz Nugent, author of Lying in Wait)
"I read The House Swap in one breathless sitting. Dark, smart, sexy, gripping, totally brilliant." (Erin Kelly, author of He Said She Said)
"A fantastic thriller - dead-on domestic noir, full of tension and surprises. I loved it." (Lee Child)

Not bad
Ok, I cant actually decide how much I liked this book. I liked the narration, and the overall premise. The story itself was a bit dull, and some parts I found hard to believe. There are so many tines in the story that it could have all ended with one sentence, but obviously this doesn’t happen. There were times I couldn’t wait to start listening again, then other times I switched it off. Overall it was ok, and I didn’t see the ending coming, with was a good twist. I’d say give it a go if it’s ever a daily deal, but maybe not a credit.

Okay but nothing to get excited about
Not a bad book but did not live up to expectations - just okay. There's better out there, just wish Audible would make it easier to find things I am interested in. It takes so long browsing then looking at reviews.

Slow starter but better towards the end
I felt this dragged on a bit long and fell flat in the middle however about three quarters of the way through it got very interesting and I was gripped which moved my rating up. The narratoration was good and easy to listen to.

So close to home
This book made me think of how close real life is to the thrillers I avidly read and listen to. Maybe some critics found that it was not sufficiently "unbelievable", but this is exactly what made it fascinating for me. Characters are human, never totally good or bad. Life is not perfect, but there are moments of bliss, even in the bleakest situations. A great book, with a possibly everyday life story as a plot, very well written and read. My hours driving never felt so short. Thanks.

Depressing
Will be returning as found myself feeling very low listening to this story of an unfaithful wife and its dire consequences. Continued to listen due to such great reviews, but not my cup of tea!
