My Husband Next Door

By: K. L. Slater

Narrated by: Clare Corbett

The perfect way for us to live. The perfect way for him to hide…

My husband Matt and I are an ordinary married couple in every way but one. At the end of each day, we return to our own homes and our own spaces. Some people think this arrangement is odd, but for us it's perfect.

But beyond the fairy lights I string at my window, darkness is pressing in. Two local women have gone missing, and I don't want to be alone. With Matt away for work, I find comfort in chatting to my new neighbour Brenda, who drops in regularly with casseroles and groceries.

Sipping our coffees, looking out of my kitchen window, I soon notice how observant Brenda is. So when she tells me that perhaps my husband isn't simply working late, something cold takes root. I think of Matt's recent vague tone, the way he brushes off my questions. Brenda thinks I should pop by when Matt's not at home. Just to check everything's as it should be.

I should be able to trust the man I married. But when I do go through my husband's things, I discover that our perfect living arrangement is hiding a shocking secret…

Fun, but not riveting…

Excellent listen for Thanksgiving kitchen prep time. Catching every word is not vital, but I didn’t want to miss much.

A little predictable

I found it unreasonable that they stayed so close to the Brenda character. She sounds like a sociopath.

Wonderful story!

I loved the surprises that the author crafted. The voice of the narrator was calming and well understood.

Brenda's Craziness

Sophie's heart and love for others. Jesse's lies and Matt's lies. How Sylvie deals with it all.
Brenda's crazy heart but her love grows on you.

I guess you're wrong

I completely guessed it wrong, lots of good plot twists, lots of betrayal and lots of compassion.
