Homewrecker

By: J M Dalgliesh

Narrated by: Tamsin Kennard, Alison Campbell

‘Sophie Beckett?’ I smile sweetly. ‘I’m your daughter’s new tutor. May I come in?’ My heart thunders in my chest. Sophie has no idea who I really am, and I need it to stay that way. Otherwise, I might not leave this house alive…

When I first meet Sophie, she seems like any normal loving mother, trying desperately to help her teenage daughter. That’s where I come in. The perfect tutor to get Katie’s life back on track.

I connect instantly with Katie, and Sophie’s thoughtful husband Scott. But Sophie’s dark eyes are full of jealousy when I talk to Scott or share a smile with Katie. I know I’m helping her daughter, whatever she thinks.

But when I find my clothes strewn everywhere, it’s clear Sophie has searched my room. Does she know the truth about why I’m here?

Then Scott tells me how his ex-wife died. My stomach twists.

Whatever Sophie does, I can’t leave now. Katie needs me more than ever. And I will do anything to protect her.

Because Sophie might be keeping secrets, but so am I. When I’m done in her beautiful home, somebody’s life will be over. I know it won’t be mine…

A totally addictive and pulse-pounding psychological thriller from multi-million copy bestseller J M Dalgliesh. Prepare to be gripped until the final, jaw-dropping revelation! Perfect for anyone who loves The Housemaid, The Woman in the Window, Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train.

good and bad, maybe wirse

This ia an interesting story with interesting protagonists. Good historical info. waste of time as no one cares.

just what I wanted

this book will give you a great domestic thriller that is a lot of fun. it was perfect for what I was craving!

worth a listen

Dalglies spun a pretty good tale. I did not expect the ending until the story was almost finished. To say much more would be a spoiler. Home Wrecker is worth a listen.

Successful Change of Lane

This isn't the Dalgliesh I'm used to, and certainly not what I expected. Halfway through I thought Dalgliesh was not doing so well with a very different style of mystery. I thought he was spending too much time on not very useful story, some of it not believable, too ... until ... until ... I found out that all the seemingly inconsistent and incredible stuff were clues that not only made sense but left me kicking myself for not seeing it.

Nice job at getting out of your comfort zone, JM

Gripping

An excellent psychological thriller kept me listening addictively. Compared to others of this genre it stood out with the layers of character complexity always leaving you puzzled but in the background knowing something would unfold. A good read
