this was a book I wasn't sure I'd enjoy but it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. there were several points in the book where you thought that was it and the end was nearing and you'd be satisfied with the listen but it had hours left! a book that just keeps giving. well worth a listen.

Celebrating her 45th birthday at her local pub, popular podcaster Alix Summers crosses paths with an unassuming woman called Josie Fair. Josie, it turns out, is also celebrating her 45th birthday. They are, in fact, birthday twins. A few days later, Alix and Josie bump into each other again, this time outside Alix's children's school.

When Nigel Baxter, a middle-aged married banker with an unremarkable past, is found dead in the bath of a plush hotel suite, his wrists slit, it looks as if he's taken his own life. At first. But when Detective Inspector Daniel Riley is assigned to the case, he soon realises all isn't as it first appears to be. When a postmortem shows Baxter was poisoned, Riley suspects foul play. And then there's the odd addition of a teddy bear left at the crime scene....

Story
Beth and Cath are leaving their husbands. This is a story about two very different women. One is wealthy and having an affair with a man who gives her the kind of love that her cold, detached husband does not. One is living hand to mouth, suffering at the hands of a violent partner who would rather see her dead than leave him. You may think you know these women already and how their lives will unfold. Beth will live happily ever after with her little girl and her soulmate. Cath will go back to her abusive husband. And these two women will never cross paths. But you will be wrong.

I love these books, 2nd one I've listened to now, ignore the last negative review, Dan doesn't go on and on about his deceased girlfriend all the time at all, she is sympathetically bought up here and there. we'll worth a listen, the narrator is fast becoming my favourite

Story
One sunny August afternoon, the residents of Cedar Close throw their annual summer barbecue. Children play in the cherry-tree lined street, tables are laden with food, and the wine is flowing. For Laurie Mills, it’s her first time meeting the neighbours. And it’s the first time she discovers her husband, Robert, is having an affair. Cedar Close has always been a nice place to live - a quiet suburban street where everyone looks out for one another and bad things don’t happen. Until late one evening, when Robert Mills is found dead in his bedroom.

Story
In weekly phone calls to his daughter in Australia, widower Hubert Bird paints a picture of the perfect retirement, packed with fun, friendship and fulfilment. But Hubert Bird is lying. The truth is day after day drags by without him seeing a single soul. Until, that is, he receives some good news - good news that in one way turns out to be the worst news ever, news that will force him out again, into a world he has long since turned his back on. Now, Hubert faces a seemingly impossible task: to make his real life resemble his fake life before the truth comes out.

this book is just perfect. a cosy, warm, and a really lovely story. a lot of unexpected twists and turns too, which really shock you. You can't predict where it's going. highly recommend this book. It gives you all the feels and is really well narrated. a credit really well spent with a story that'll stay with me a long time.

incredibly sad story of a families fight to stay alive. It's impossible to ever begin to think of the strength these people had to make it through such a time.

this was recommended to me so I knew it would be enjoyable. it is full of twists and turns too which kept me surprised. it is a heartbreakingly beautiful story. only downside to start is the dreadful attempt at an American accent! Once you get past trying to hear it you'll be fine as thankfully most is read perfectly well. you won't regret this purchase.

When Sandra Leigh was seven years old, she fell into the role of protector of her mother and three younger siblings. One winter night, she ushered her mother out of the house during one of her father’s tirades, and then snuck her back into the dark home through a window. Sandra was used to events like these; what she wasn’t used to were the mountains and nature surrounding her new home in West Virginia.

longest book I've read, it seems a bit 'pointless' you feel at times but it isn't at all when you realise and remember it's her story. I dipped in and out of this book between starting and finishing various others but I managed the last 11 hours with no interruptions. stick with it, you'll start to attach yourself to her and her family.
