A.R. Torre delivers another incredibly engaging domestic thriller. I listened to it in a single day. The pacing is quick, the plot is wild, and the chaos is just the right amount of fun. I thought I had a good sense of where Dinah’s story was headed, but it took some seriously twisted turns I didn’t see coming. I found myself completely drawn in, eager to see how everything would unfold. The story leans into the outrageous at times, with a plot that’s far from realistic but that exaggerated, over-the-top vibe is exactly what makes it so entertaining. The storyline is refreshingly different, the characters are messy in the best way, and overall, it was just a blast to listen to. Huge credit to the narrators too, they did a fantastic job bringing every character to life and really elevated the experience.
Thank You @Netgalley and @ Brilliance Publishing | Brilliance Audio for allowing me to review to this ALC.

A Happy Marriage💍

Review📖

This is a top-tier thriller! I believe the couple in this novel is among the weirdest characters I've encountered. A detective and a doctor appear normal, yet they are insane. 🤣 The story was both good and unsettling, and I was fascinated by every page. It had several fantastic twists that had me absolutely surprised. Just when I thought I'd figured everything out, something else happened. If you appreciate disturbing books, give this a try!

A fast paced quick thriller that is hard to put down. This was a one sitting read for me. I listened on audio thanks to an advanced copy from NetGalley + Brilliance publishing.

I didn’t catch all the twists which I loved. There are 3 POVs which makes it super interesting the whole time and the epilogue was packed!! If you’re looking for a fast paced thriller that’s easy to digest this one is good. I felt like there could have been a bit more to the twists because a couple pieces I felt were left with no resolution. But overall good.

The narrator’s were good and very engaged which I like, very easy to feel the emotions and the change in characters which is always appreciative on audio.

This releases June 24th.

"I watch my wife eat her cereal and think about the first girl I killed."

Way to make me snap to attention with the opening sentence!

What a wonderfully dark, twisted, demented and unpredictable ride. I devoured this book on audio and will be adding a hard copy to my library. As a seasoned reader of thrillers, I can be a bit of a tough customer. This book was exactly what I crave when I want to escape - super fast-paced, lots of messy characters who do terrible things and twists galore. The motives of the characters weren't apparent for a good while and I was left on the edge of my seat trying to guess what might come next. I was completely blindsided by some of the twists and didn't even care when the plot evolved into some "jump the shark" territory because the author somehow made it all work.

I highly recommend you read this one as blind as possible for the best impact.

If I had to nitpick, I'd rather have read an e-book or physical copy than listened to it because there are a lot of characters and multiple POVs that took me a little time to suss out. The narration was very well done though and the actor voicing the MMC did a superb job of bringing that character to life. I also didn't think the epilogue was necessary and didn't add much to the book. Those are minor quibbles to a standout thriller that I simply didn't want to put down and kept me reading late into the night.

Thanks so much to the publisher for providing this fabulous book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Great book! Had me guessing til the end. You won't see the twist coming. Would recommend if you enjoy a suspense.

Wow, what did I just listen to?! This story is wild. From the start, I was immediately drawn in. I knew right away there was something strange going on between Dinah and her husband, Joe. Both characters are flawed and have secrets, but Dinah’s secret was quite a surprise to me. If you like fast-paced stories you will probably enjoy this one. If you have read the author’s previous books, you know that her books always have a good twist. This one was no exception. The audiobook was short and easy to binge. I enjoyed the narrators and I can highly recommend getting yourself a copy!

Many thanks to Brilliance Audio and NetGalley for my ALC.
