About this listen

Till death do us part…

Luke Whitney is stabbed to death. His wife Anna confesses after she is found next to his lifeless body. But if she did it, why can't she confirm any of the details of the crime?

As police dig into the circumstances, they learn that the victim was a liar, a cheat and a narcissist. More than one person had a reason to want him dead; his scorned ex, his neglected mistress and Anna – who knows what happens to Mrs Whitneys when Luke gets bored of them.

Luke Whitney had it coming. But who made sure he got what he deserved?

The latest twisty, propulsive psychological thriller from international bestseller Jenny Blackhurst. Perfect for fans of Adele Parks, Claire Douglas and Shari Lapena.

Never cross a woman...

The ending was a shock. I did not expect it. The story was easy to follow and has an intriguing plot line. It is not a book I would return to again but I enjoyed it.

Storyline picked up and THAT twist ending!

Slow start to capture my adhds full attention, but as it got going and exploring each character more I was thoroughly involved. About 3/4 through I literally couldn't stop listening I needed to know more. I can always predict endings and this twist ending got me!!

Fabulous Read

Hard to put it down. The end got a bit confusing. Not well thought out. I’ll have to think about it.

What a great twist!

This one obviously took some intricate planning to fit all the pieces together seamlessly at the end. I thought I had it all worked out until that final twist and I LOVE IT WHEN I AM WRONG and surprised by a book!
Highly recommend!!

Good fluff

This is a very enjoyable story, Easy to listen to and the narrator is great. Only drawback is, like so many stories these days, there is explicit s-- content that is not suitable for every setting. So that sucks.

Didn’t see end coming!

Was interesting and didn’t expect the end. Good listen. Narration was good. Was not sure how it would end when the wife had confessed.

Surprising - intriguing-

The reader knows just enough to make the wrong assumption. The story surprised me, which is what is appreciated in a detective story.
