An Audible Best Mystery and Thriller Audiobook of 2023

In this chilling story from the bestselling author of The Secret Mother, it’s the wedding day of Alice’s dreams. Until it becomes a nightmare…

Alice and Seth are a perfect love story: the handsome doctor and his beautiful fiancée. They’re wealthy, well liked and made for each other—the envy of all their friends. Alice can’t wait for the day of their dream wedding. But when she arrives at the altar, she doesn’t recognise the man waiting to marry her.

When this stranger insists he’s Seth, her husband-to-be, the entire congregation seems to agree. Even her parents try to persuade Alice to go through with the wedding.

As panic sets in, Alice’s world comes apart. Where is the real Seth, and why have all traces of him disappeared from her life? Fearing she’s losing her mind, she sets out to uncover the truth and escape the nightmare she’s living in. But with everyone around her convinced by the fake Seth, how can she ever hope to find the man she loves?

I liked this from the beginning because it's got a great hook and a really unique storyline. The narrator is excellent too. My only complaint is I stayed up late listening because it's such a page turner!

A wild story with a twist

Narrator is good, story is okay, nothing that made me go wow and I fell asleep listening to this a few times. Maybe good for insomniacs.

brillant storyline

I really wanted to like this book. I had high expectations based on other reviews. Whilst the story line is really interesting and the narrator does a fantastic job, the content is really annoying. The protagonist is really vague and everyone around her is extremely negative. She doesn’t have one person who is positive or supportive. It just doesn’t seem like reality. She thinks everyone is jealous of her and I found this really off putting as well. The ending was the only thing that saved this book for me. I hung on for that but it was an extremely frustrating read. I wouldn’t recommend this book.

Mostly Annoying Read

it may have been me but I was ready to give up after the first hour but I'm glad I persevered. The jumps back and forward were necessary but sometimes, I think, too frequent and occasionally a re-listen to sections was required to confirm who, where and what was happening.

Persevere

worth the credit, as some have said already this would be a great movie/mini series

great twist
