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.

The story became a bit convoluted and by the end I failed to follow exactly what went on ie. why the shoes etc. we’re disposed of and buried and was it the DS who actually planned the whole thing? I think I would have to read the book myself to fully understand the last couple of chapters. Did no one go to gaol? And was the verdict murder or suicide?

Luke couldn’t help himself as far as women were concerned.

Excellent story keeps you guessing. First time I have read this author. I recommend. Don’t want to give away the story. Please take a read.

Twisty tale

Fun story with interesting characters. A little ridiculous at times - the swing from devastation or guilt to ability to move on - but I suppose that's to assist the pace of the story. A story that grows on you.

Great cast
