Publisher's Summary
A chilling domestic thriller, The Girlfriend brilliantly renders the relationships between a fiercely protective mother, a charming son, and the young woman who will stop at nothing to come between them.
Laura Cavendish can't wait to meet the woman who's won her son's affection. Despite a successful career in television and a long, prosperous marriage, Laura's world revolves around kind, talented Daniel. She pictures his new girlfriend, Cherry, becoming a close friend and confidante ...one day, even a daughter-in-law. But although Cherry is beautiful and amiable, Laura can't warm to her. There's something about the possessive way she touches Daniel, the little lies Laura detects. Cherry seems to resent Laura, driving a wedge between mother and son - until one day Daniel is injured in a terrible accident.
Six months later, with Daniel still in a coma and facing death, Laura makes a fateful decision - and carries out an astonishing deceit. A handsome doctor for a husband, with a trust fund and a family villa in Saint-Tropez - it was all supposed to be Cherry's. Now, instead of living with Daniel in his impeccable home, she's jobless and broke. And then Cherry discovers Laura's stunning deception. But Cherry is too clever, too ambitious to let her get away with it. She has already transformed herself into Daniel's dream woman. Now she'll become Laura's worst nightmare.
Author Michelle Frances masterfully weaves both women's perspectives into this gripping, artfully plotted psychological thriller, propelling the listener through one dark twist after another toward a shocking, unforgettable finale.

Great listen
This is the first book I ever had of Michelle Frances and I can’t wait to read another.
Though the ending was so rushed. I feel that authors have to not make the climatic ending so abruptly. We as listeners do not want to hear the end of our book in 3 minutes left. It was nice to at least have an Epilogue.
I love this book and absolutely recommend it. It was at times annoying because Cherry got away with so much wrongdoing. It seemed like Laura Could not ever win.
Cherry was evil and I’m so glad that her mother Wendy was an honest woman who alerted Daniel to her viciousness.
Wonderful story and beautiful acceptable and happy ending.
Highly recommend it.

Enjoyed the book in spite of the narrator
The Girlfriend, written by Michelle Frances, was an enjoyable psychological story of suspense. The narrator, Henrietta Meire, was very difficult to get used to, and I almost quit. However, I decided to persevere and eventually forgot how irritating I found the narrator's voice to be and enjoyed the story.

Every Mother’s Nightmare
This thrilling story held my interest from beginning to end. The narrator is stellar, I would listen to her read the phone book.

Terrible reading!
there are so many things wrong with this audiobook. First the reader is terrible! Recording itself repeats a few times, there's a lot of obvious inserted words after the fact, and Henrietta abruptly stops after each sentence and takes a pause. It makes for a very choppy, unnatural read. Then there's the story itself, the ending is so stumped. It just ends with no follow-through. You've built a relationship with these characters but you're forced to part with them with no idea of where they ended up. I want my money back.

The worst accents ever!
I should have stopped listening the first time the narrator attempted to introduce different accents! Painful to listen to. Story is rather all over the place, characters are without substance and not likeable or relatable. There are random tangents and it ends rather abruptly.
Mediocre read at best but as an audible with this reader it’s a hard miss!
