The Perfect Family

By: Robyn Harding

Narrated by: Ali Andre Ali, Cassandra Campbell, Michael Crouch, Amanda Dolan, Pete Simonelli

The bestselling author of the The Swap and The Party takes you “on a wild psychological ride with this addictive thriller” (Palm Beach Daily News) about what happens when a seemingly perfect family is pushed to the edge.

Thomas and Viv Adler are the envy of their neighbors: attractive, successful, with well-mannered children and a beautifully restored home.

Until one morning, when they wake up to find their porch has been pelted with eggs. It’s a prank, Thomas insists; the work of a few out-of-control kids. But when a smoke bomb is tossed on their front lawn, and their car’s tires are punctured, the family begins to worry.

Surveillance cameras show nothing but grainy images of shadowy figures in hoodies. And the police dismiss the attacks, insisting they’re just the work of bored teenagers. Unable to identify the perpetrators, the Adlers are helpless as the assaults escalate into violence, and worse. And each new violation brings with it a growing fear. Because everyone in the Adler family is keeping a secret—not just from the outside world, but from each other. And secrets can be very dangerous….

“Unsettling and darkly sublime, Robyn Harding deftly explores twisted family dynamics and devastating secrets in suburbia in this stunning novel that will shock readers by the final page” (Christina McDonald, USA TODAY bestselling author of The Night Olivia Fell).

Engaging

Not necessarily a cliffhanger. Kept me interested and engaged but didn’t take me anywhere new. Worth a read.

characters were very annoying at times...

I did not like the daughter, she was dramatic and needed to get over herself. she was very immature no matter how mature she tried to seem and I hated her character. the wife/mom was pathetic to me and had no backbone or much of a storyline. the dad was a typical cheating husband and the wife was the typical out-of-sight-out-of-mind kinda woman. the son also has no spine, he was hesitant to protect his family against the vandals and he doesn't have the morals to say something when he see's something wrong or do anything about it. I guess I just wonder why they all had to be such bad people? I guess to have plausible reasons why people are targeting them, but I think they could used some redeeming qualities, it would've made us feel bad for them a little more. also, I swear I must be missing something because at the end the story still isn't completely resolved, so did I miss the hints that I need to figure out who is still harassing them? there were multiple people harassing the family and few instances weren't explained.

Awesome Narration, Lame Ending

I was HOOKED for the first 85% or so. I attribute this to the awesome narration team. There was lots of suspense in the beginning. By the end, things sort of fell flat.

Pretty good story

One of the first audible that kept me interested and that I didnt fall asleep
Enjoyed it.
I liked that there were multiple narrators for the male and female parts. Much better than when one female narrator changes her voice to sound like a man

secrets and lies

I loved the character and the story flow. I felt like there were unanswered questions.
