My Darlings

By: Marie Still

Narrated by: Kelli Tager, Zura Johnson, Megan Tusing, Katy Bentz, Erin Bennett

ABC’s DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES meets Showtime’s DEXTER, MY DARLINGS, a chilling suburban noir set in the deceptively serene Washington D.C. suburbs, where a respected philanthropist and PTO president’s secret life as a serial killer enthralls listeners seeking a deep, psychological thrill.

No one was supposed to know. I’ve always been so careful. My Darlings, how did we get here?

Evil lurks behind the perfectly manicured lawns, ornate iron gates, and long winding driveways of affluent DC–but not for long.

Stay-at-home mom Eloise Williams is PTO president and a respected local philanthropist who sits on the boards of many distinguished charities. In addition to being a doting wife and mother, she is also a serial killer.

But Eloise isn’t the only lady in society playing a part. As the hidden lives of Eloise’s inner circle are exposed, the body count rises. When stalkers becomes prey, Eloise desperately clings to control.

Money and power can only buy influence and safety for so long. Eventually, the curtains lift, exposing the chilling reality hiding in plain sight.

This dark thriller has numerous content warnings: child death, suicide, hazing, bullying, murder, infidelity, brutal slayings, domestic abuse/violence, child abuse, torture

When i say this is a book!! Baby this is a BOOOK!!

The actors did so great to bring this to life. It was so well written and such great detail. Every twist and turn of this story had me at the edge of my seat I couldn't stop listening just to see what was happening next. Then the ending..... Trust me... get the book you will not regret it at all

Plenty of

Twists and turns. It held my attention and I wanted to see what happened. Became a little far fetched (even for this kind of story) toward the end but it did keep me interested and I wanted to come back to the story as often as possible.

excellent writing

I didn't enjoy the ending because I'm hopeless for bad people to get caught and pay, so it's a creepy ending and was unexpected which makes the author interesting.
The details of the characters thoughts are sadly so accurate, makes me glad I'm so middle class. Very disturbing, but couldn't stop listening.

Intriguing story with a twist

I really enjoyed this story with a twist. There aren't many with a female serial killer. The actors did a wonderful job bringing the story to life. The ending was a surprise and will recommend this to all my friends.

Very Slow Narration

I probably should have read the book vs listening to it. The narration at parts was so slowly drug out I had to speed it way up to get through it. The story was alright, but nothing for me to write hone about.
