Never Lie

By: Freida McFadden

Narrated by: Leslie Howard

Newlyweds Tricia and Ethan are searching for the house of their dreams. But when they visit the remote manor that once belonged to Dr. Adrienne Hale, a renowned psychiatrist who vanished without a trace four years earlier, a violent winter storm traps them at the estate… with no chance of escape until the blizzard comes to an end.

In search of a book to keep her entertained until the snow abates, Tricia happens upon a secret room. One that contains audio transcripts from every single patient Dr. Hale has ever interviewed. As Tricia listens to the cassette tapes, she learns about the terrifying chain of events leading up to Dr. Hale’s mysterious disappearance.

Tricia plays the tapes one by one, late into the night. With each one, another shocking piece of the puzzle falls into place, and Dr. Adrienne Hale’s web of lies slowly unravels. And then Tricia reaches the final cassette. The one that reveals the entire horrifying truth.

What a twist

I’m usually good about figuring out the storyline early on with this one kept me stumped until the very end. Or at least it turned my entire theory upside down on its head. great story, great performance, and finished in two days, which is some thing I’ve never done as I usually listen on my commute to work and it’s my day off!!

Listen to the sample first, BREATHY

I loved the book, was so much fun! Many listeners don't mind this, but I CRINGE when narrators are too breathy and this one basically whispers anytime the story quickens. I only have one narrator I can't listen to, and this makes two. I'll get the book next time. If you aren't bothered by a whispering narrator, get this!!

These women are total dingbats!

First of all this book sounds like it was written for a 15 year-old. Ms. McFadden just churns them out and they’re progressively getting worse and worse. The grammar is terrible and they all have reactions like they’re in high school. Especially the women. They are incredibly stupid-even the doctor.I listened because it was like a car crash. I just wanted to see the mess. If you like reading about stupid women who talk like they’re in high school school,this is for you.

WOWZER!

I love McFadden and she did not disappoint. I am normally pretty good about at least making predictions and guesses, but I DEFINITELY didn't see that coming and it was never a scenario I played out. Narrator was great too!

Fun Listen with a Dark Twist!

Really enjoyed this one. Twists throughout… thought the clues were too obvious at first, but kept listening and glad I did. A lot of things thrown in there to make you think you solved it early on and keep you guessing.
