About this listen

Everything my husband and I have always dreamt of has finally come true. Our new home with its open-plan kitchen and marble countertops couldn’t be further from the small, damp flat where we lived only months ago. I’d hoped this would be our fresh start, an escape from my past, but the handwritten note that arrived on our doorstep makes my blood run cold – you don’t deserve this life.

I’ve never told my husband, Hayden, what I did all those years ago. I lie awake every night with my heart pounding in my chest thinking about what I could’ve done differently. Hayden’s always been there for me, and I wonder if he would he have done the same?

I want to trust my husband with the truth, but why has all the colour drained from his face at the sight of the note? Is that guilt I can see in his eyes too? Does he know my secret, or is he hiding one of his own?

I don’t know how long I have until my past catches up with me, but I do know one thing:

If I don’t find out who sent the message, then my marriage is over, and my life is in terrible danger…

A gripping pause-resister filled with edge-of-your-seat suspense, fans of Sally Hepworth, Lisa Jewell and Liane Moriarty will be completely hooked by The Wife’s Mistake!

Great!

Pretty twisty! Great characters that you got to know….with characteristics that I appreciated and others that I hated. The performance was perfect 🙌.

Trust

Liked the twist and turns. The main characters seemed a bit juvenile. Maybe more backstory on Heather.

Money is the remember it of all evil.

the relationships s of the characters was brilliantly told. Imogene Church is a narrator that really comes through with all the emotions needed to make the story realistic.

Enjoyed listening mostly, but too nuts

The story is interesting in many ways, but everyone in it is so dishonest and screwed up that it is just unbelievable and nuts. Over the top and overly full of liers and decievers. Too much.

Not my favorite

I usually love this narrator, but in this book she drives me bonkers. Too many high-pitched voices. Also I found two areas in the book where there were editing issues. Where the sentences were read twice, each one with different inflections. Some thing the editing should have taken out. That always bothers me when it’s done sloppy. And overall, the book is OK, but I thought the plot twist was Quite ridiculous. It would’ve been better if it was shorter, the characters were developed more, and the plots weren’t so complicated that it make you roll your eyes.

Twisty plot

Authors should seriously reconsider this reader. The ridiculous amount of emphasis on every other word is super annoying. She makes all the female characters seem entirely vapid and trivial. The male characters seem pretentious It is just very hard to listen to this reader’s method of narration
