À propos de cet audio

This title contains mature themes, strong language, and sexual content. Listener discretion is advised.

Your husband’s dead. He’s never coming back. So why is he on a dating site asking you to go out with him?

Then

Linda has it all: a gorgeous home, a devoted husband, two loving daughters. But she throws it all away to chase an impossible dream.

Now

Linda is alone and penniless, living in a shabby rented flat. With nothing to lose, she signs up to a dating app for the over 50s. But the one man who responds to her profile, a man calling himself Tony Fortin, is not who he says he is.

Linda recognises him immediately. He’s Marcus, her second husband.

But that’s impossible. Marcus died eight months ago. He drowned off the coast of Corfu.

As Linda digs deeper, she discovers that the man she married second time around had been keeping secrets from her. Very dark secrets.

Now the one person who can help her is the person who has every reason not to get involved.

Her first husband.

I found that there was too much time spent inside the protagonist’s head, which is not really where I wanted to be. This made the story feel a bit slow at times. While the plot was decent, it difficult to connect with any of the characters as none of them were particularly likeable. I wanted to like Linda, but she just seemed a bit daft.

Some parts of the book didn’t make much sense to me ( the former husband just stepping into the current husband’s role) , but despite that, it managed to hold my interest until the end. Overall, I’d give it a 3-star rating.

Just okay.

What a great book . Absolutely thrilling and suspenseful from beginning to ending. Brilliantly written with so many twists and turns and unbelievably dynamic.
I enjoyed this book so much and will definitely look for more books by this author. What a great story with unexpected twisted diabolical plots .
The narration was terrific the voice and tone of this wonderful narrator took us along on this bold and creative journey. You felt that you were right there. Very very beautiful. Absolutely worth a CREDIT. Thank you Audible Plus for including it in my library.

AMAZING….Thrilling and Suspenseful

Story:
Basically 3/4's of this novel is the same thing going over and over and over and over and over. The writing is decent but it is the same sentence and in her head monologue that is tedious. When the writer finally got past saying the same thing over and over and over again it was interesting and decent. Would I buy this? No. But there is talent in this writer and once she can tighten up the story instead of just being repetitive there is a future.

Narrator:
Loved her voice. Loved her read. Needs to work on inhaling loudly while reading as it was super distracting.

Very repetitive

This was a rather charming book about self acceptance and independence. There were no truly likeable characters, and a light was turned on everyone's flaws in the end.

Self acceptance and independence.

Friend against friend. People using people. Sad and hard to listen to all the hate.

Not enjoyable stressful

The plotting in this Jane E. James story is clever & convoluted - involving the reappearance of a spouse long thought dead - but requires a significant suspension of disbelief. Notwithstanding the moderately lazy use of suppressed memories as a plot device ("I can't remember what happened when he disappeared.. drunk?") and a highly (too) sexualized narrative, James writes a character so annoyingly neurotic - and that transforms into a 50-something cougar slut at the end of the book for some reason - that I frankly didn't care to put in the effort. The book consequently comes across as too implausible to contemplate.

Unhelpfully, reader Claire Rushbrook is distinctly "average" on this project, too. Her diction, timbre, cadence, voice-acting, and tone are solidly professional, mind you, but Audible Studios Inc. could have gotten equally effective results from any narrator in their stable (..and maybe one that doesn't take so many deep, loud inspirations - avoid earbuds).

Altogether, 'Her Second Husband' merits 6 stars out of 10. It was a serviceable distraction for a couple of quiet afternoons - and you could legitimately do better at setting aside reservations than I did - so if you can get it off of the 'Plus' menu, you should do so.. but if they ask for a Credit, keep browsing.

A Touch Too Ludicrous

There is not one person in this book that is the least bit likeable. Linda, the protagonist, her best friend Gail, her ex husband Jim, her 2nd husband Marcus and her daughter Abby. Rose seemed to be the most normal although she really didn't factor into the storyline.

I listened until the end hoping that there was a twist, but no the story dragged onto the uninspiring end.

I enjoyed the narrator.

So glad I did not waste a credit on this book.

I don't understand all the great reviews
