À propos de cet audio

As soon as we open the door to our beautiful new home, I sense their presence . . . the couple who lived here before us.

They’ve left things behind, as if on purpose, for us to find. First, there is the mysterious diary that ends too abruptly, followed by pictures of a couple in their thirties, just like us. Tired-looking parents with two small children. Who are they?

Although I must admit that I guessed some of the outcome, the story was so well crafted that it didn’t matter. Also, the ultimate ending was a surprise. Well narrated, which, for me at least, can ruin the story. Worth the listen.

Thoroughly Enjoyed

I haven’t finished the book, but I’m going to, because I’m curious. However, I found the narration was sub par. The two narrators themselves are alright, but I think the editors (if there are any) could have made a few technical adjustments. The story is told from two points of view, Rachel on one chapter read by one narrator, and Lucy on the next chapter read by the other narrator, with each chapter alternating back and forth. The speed was inconsistent… I needed to adjust speed on every chapter - one up to 1.1 and the next down to 1.0.

Narration could have used some editing

I loved every moment of this book . Drama, suspense and a powerful diabolical plot.
The twist and turns in this book is mind blowing .
What a talented author and a talented narrators. Took us along on a great journey.
Had me completely hooked from beginning to end.
I do get what one of the reviewers said. Weak women depicted and controlled. I dislike the naivety of them. But it made for a good story especially the endings.
Tremendously satisfying twists in the end. Never saw that coming.
I highly recommend this book. Thank you Audible Plus for including in my Library.

Phenomenal!!!

This Jane E. James book follows two women in two different timelines 2 years apart. Casual, manipulative infidelity + sex abounds in this tale about betrayal & lies where they meet and/or have met and/or scheme to meet each others children + husbands.
The writing is capable.. but I found that I really had to concentrate just to keep the characters, relationships, and couplings straight. Failing to fixate on what was happening in any segment of the book left me completely lost. I had to restart chapters time after time simply to reorient myself.

As to presentation: the tandem narrators Sarah Kants & Gabrielle Nellis-Pain are professional but unspectacular. That's not to say that the performance is inferior, mind you.. just that I was left with the impression that Audible Studios Inc. could have gotten similar results from any SAG-AFTRA reader in their stable.

Altogether, 'Before Us' merits 6.5 stars out of 10. It was a reasonable distraction for free.. but if it leaves the 'Plus' menu, save your Credit for something less convoluted.

Tangled Book
