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.

A Twisty Tale

A good engaging read. I too got a little tangled in the characters towards the end so I re read the last chapter.

Fantastic listening

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Lots of imperfect characters with hidden back stories become intertwined. Presenting lots of twists in the plot and not a few red herrings. Great for the little grey cells.

Kept me guessing until the end 👍

I liked the mystery and the way the characters plotted , I didn’t like throwing Kym in at the last minute . Just too unbelievable

An Appropriate Result

If only life was really this just in the face of such injustices. I didn't like the end very much, it felt a bit rushed and messy compared to the cadence of the book overall. I enjoyed the fact the chapters were all from female characters and no time was wasted with Luke having any narration: the character's actions spoke louder than anything which could've been written in his voice.

Great twist right at the end

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 easy read

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