About this listen
Molly Chatwell has a beautiful house, a handsome husband, two children, and a job she likes. It all seems so perfect, but when her two children leave for university, she realizes her life has become dull and empty. When her husband refuses to go away on a trip with her, Molly decides to go alone. But what should have been a relaxing break turns into a nightmare.
Back at home in London, Molly tries to put it all behind her, but when the police arrive at her door and tell her a body has been found with connections to her, she realizes her perfect life is under threat.
A gripping psychological thriller full of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end, The Perfect Life is the perfect listen for fans of domestic noir, Louise Jensen, B. A. Paris, and K.L. Slater.

My husband is a doctor. He’s smart and charming, and everybody trusts him. Except me. On the surface, it looks like I have it all–the perfect marriage, the perfect husband, the perfect life. But it’s far from the truth. Doctor Drew Devlin is not the respectable figure he makes out to be. The reason we moved to this beautiful, old property with a gorgeous view of the sea was because we needed to put our past behind us. It should’ve been a fresh start for us both.

The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

Kate returns from a post-break-up holiday with her girlfriends to news of a serial killer in her hometown - and his victims all look like her. It could, of course, be a simple coincidence.

Or is the truth something far more sinister?

Boring
Yet another book on audible that has positive reviews that I don’t feel it deserves. I could barely even make it to the end to see who did what. I really didn’t care at all. In my opinion there was no build up. So therefore there were no good twists or surprises. It just fell flat. The only reason why I struggled though to the end was because I have been returning so many books lately that I actually feel bad. I don’t expect to love every book but quite a few that I have listened to in the last few months are outright terrible.
