About this listen

A seemingly ordinary book group holds deadly secrets in this collection of connected stories from Karin Slaughter, Lee Child, B. A. Paris, and more of the world’s leading thriller writers.

Dr. Margaret Richter has it all. She’s rich, thanks to her best-selling self-help books. She has a beautiful home in Cape Cod overlooking the beach. And she has a monthly book club that everyone is dying to get invited to.

Literally.

Because behind the crystal wine glasses, the fine linens and the catered hors d'oeuvres lies a tangled web of secrets, of deceit, of murder. No member of the book club is innocent—and many are guilty.

And the person with the most to hide is Margaret Richter herself.

With an introduction by best-selling author Jennifer Weiner, The Twisted Women’s Book Club was created in partnership with International Thriller Writers. Special thanks to Joseph Finder, Gregg Hurwitz and Kimberley Howe.

Full cast of narrators include: Lauren Ezzo, Stephanie Epstein, Jenn Lee, Brittany Pressley, Cindy Kay, Nancy Wu, Nicola F. Delgado, Emily Lawrence, Karen Murray, Adepero Oduye, Daniela Acitelli

This compendium - short stories loosely centered around a proposed Book Club (a planned discussion of a Karin Slaughter book titled "Twisted") hosted by a reclusive Self-Help author is clever. Each of the 15 enlisted authors offers tales involving murder/lies/suspense/psychological aberrations involving characters interacting with some aspect of 'Dr. Margaret Richter' - an enigmatic figure with mysterious hidden motivations behind her invitations. Most stories are at least "capable", a couple are genuinely "outstanding", and a couple are "terrible": hurried juvenile night-school-creative-writing-class-assignment efforts or so loaded with expletives & off-putting sexual content that they're actually cringeworthy.

As to presentation: a full cast of readers do an admirable job delivering the shorts - but are likewise occasionally great & occasionally awful - with the performances "average" in toto. Audible Originals Inc. offer unsurpassed technical support, but merely did a "passable" job casting the project.

Altogether, I rate 'The Twisted Women's Book Club' a respectable 7 stars out of 10. It was a worthwhile distraction from the 'Plus' menu, but you should spend your Credit on something else if it leaves the "free with your subscription" catalog. The inconsistency is annoying.


[ATTN PRODUCERS: Updating the Chapter menu to include authors's names with their submissions would improve this product immeasurably. Since some stories are much better than others - or written by favorite authors - a better way to navigate the audiobook (i.e. skip over the worst stuff) would be useful]
