The Man She Married

By: Alison James

Narrated by: Jan Cramer

How well do you know your husband?

Since Alice’s fiancé walked out on her, she never thought she’d meet "The One". But all that changes when she meets Dominic. Handsome, charming, and kind, Alice can’t believe her luck when he proposes a few months later and moves into her West London home.

Three years on, Alice’s catering business is thriving and she is married to a man she adores. So when she sees that little blue line, it should be the happiest moment of her life: they’re going to have a baby. But then the police knock on her door and Alice’s whole world is turned upside down...Dominic is dead.

Distraught, Alice goes to identify the body. There’s no doubt that it’s her husband. Yet when his estranged brother comes to view the coffin, he insists the man lying there is not Dominic. Alice refuses to believe it at first, but when confronted with irrefutable proof, she finally has to face the truth:

The man she married is not the person he said he was. And if he lied about that, what else was he hiding from her?

An absolutely gripping psychological thriller that will keep you guessing. If you love Behind Closed Doors, My Lovely Wife, and Friend Request, you’ll be hooked on The Man She Married.

Boring and horrible ending

You know all the twists and turns within first half. The second half is completely useless. And the ending is anticlimactic to say the least. I kept listening to see if maybe there would be an exciting end but was VERY disappointed.

Not a wonderful book

I had to force myself to finish this book. I had to go back and listen several times to understand what was being said. The story itself was not my cup of tea.

Not a strong ending

I liked how it started. I wish the mystery was woven into all of the story.

It's ok

The topic of the story is good but the climax I feel like happened too soon. The mystery is what kept it interesting and when you know what is going on for like 70% of the book it kinda loses it's fizzle. The plot twist at the end wasn't really even shocking but more predictable.

Very Entertaining Book

At first the narrative voice was annoying. But the more I listened to this book the better it became! The underlying current can be quite humorous when Alice is describing her surroundings but then you remember her husband is a serial killer! Very well written and quite enjoyable! Could not stop listening.
