À propos de cet audio

In the early hours of a summer morning, a young woman steps into the path of an oncoming bus. A tragic accident? Or suicide? At the center of this puzzle is Adrian Wolfe, a successful architect and grief-stricken widower, who, a year after his third wife's death, begins to investigate the cause. As Adrian looks back on their brief but seemingly happy marriage, disturbing secrets begin to surface.

The divorces from his two previous wives had been amicable, or so it seemed; his children, all five of them, were resilient as ever, or so he thought. But something, or someone, must have pushed Maya over the edge.

Fans of Liane Moriarty and Jojo Moyes will be captivated by this riveting family drama with a dark mystery at its core.

Interesting and good characters. Was thought provoking and you hear the other side of what children think with parents that don’t put them first. Excellent book to listen to while walking.

Love the narration

I was expecting a lot more from this book than it delivers. The book drags for the first half and leaves you wondering what the story's point is. Eventually, things pick up a little bit, but don't expect any big twists or turns. Ultimately, it's a story about a bland 40-something white man who is oblivious to the needs and feelings of the people around him. Not Lisa Jewell's best writing.

Could have been a lot better

Review of The Third Wife

The story was ok. But it certainly did have me gripped like her other books do. Found it dragged on a bit.

Not my fave Jewell book

Story was good, ending was a disappointment! To date this is my least favourite book by Lisa. Prefer her twists and turns to have me surprised at the end... which I was, but not on the usual Lisa way!

Still worth the listen

Okay

This book is a meaningful look into the long term effects of divorce on children, regardless of their age. Children are often consumed by thoughts about living up to parental expectations, but how much thought is given by parents to living up to their children's expectations for them?

honestly the story just dragged on and on, a little mystery and redirect but overall it could have been a short story. I also found the narrators character voices to be aannoying

kind of boring

Trying really hard not to spoil the ending and “big revelation” for everyone. To me this book/main character is so ego-centric. I absolutely hated the ending where this “mystery” is resolved. A life is a life; a person is a person. No one, absolutely no one should serve as a tool or an inspiration to make amends. The “lessons learnt” is so naive and so light compared to a person’s death. Absolutely hated how this blood sucking dysfunctional family made Maya a martyr; how they were able to be united upon her death when they bloody well know what led up to her death.
I do want to applaud the audio performance. The narrative and emotions are all there. This is a great production with clearly-enunciated British accents, which is hard to find sometimes.

Hate the thesis, liked the performance

Great story. Had me full of wonder and suspense from page one. Great insights from the characters lives; Joe Jameson is a great narrator.

Love it!
