Publisher's Summary

The perfect couple....

A match made in heaven or hell?

From the best-selling author of The Party and Have You Seen Her comes another utterly gripping listen.... 

When Emily applies to a job as a housekeeper for widower Rupert, it’s a chance to start over: a steady job and regular money means she can work towards her own place, not sharing a grimy flat with old mate Mags.

As Emily gets to know more about Rupert’s world - how he likes his supper when he comes in from work, who his friends are - she can make sure everything runs like clockwork for him.

Soon there’s a spark between them; Rupert likes Emily and invites her to stay. For good.

To the outside world, they really seem to be a perfect match. There’s just the small issue of what really happened to Rupert’s first wife.

A gripping, razor-sharp game of cat and mouse, from the best-selling author Lisa Hall.

Critic Reviews

"Chillingly believable and utterly compelling with thrills aplenty - I loved this book." (Lucy Foley, number one best-selling author of The Hunting Party and The Guest List)

"The Perfect Couple is the perfect summer [listen]. A classy thriller that’s stylish, twisty and full of suspense, Hall’s novel is garnished with echoes of the classics such as Rebecca and Gaslight, but is very much a delicious cocktail all of its own." (Sarah Pinborough, number one best-selling author of Behind Her Eyes and Cross Her Heart)

"Think Rebecca, Body Heat, and Gaslight. Lisa Hall’s dark thriller plays on three classic tropes and does the seemingly unimaginable: it improves on them. You’re going to devour this one." (Christina Dalcher, best-selling author of Vox and Q)

Don’t bother

Boring and predictable. Irritating voice. Not worth wasting your time reading. Repeated sentences used frequently throughout the narration.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
