This book was interesting. I guess I thought it was going to be something else. I don't think I really cared for the main character of this book. She just was strange in alot of ways. I found this story to be pretty confusing. I would read more from this author as I liked the writing but think I would maybe like a different story.

Too many side plots, too little time.

The book's premise was very intriguing: a woman wrongfully convicted of attempting to murder her husband gets released from jail and plots revenge on the husband who allegedly framed her.

Had the author kept things simple and focused on the robust development of the book's main protagonist's revenge plans, I would have enjoyed this book much more.

Instead, the author introduced waaaay too many characters and head-spinning side plots.

I listened to the audiobook read by Clare Corbett, one of my favorite narrators. Even though Clare Corbett's narration was 5-star, the book would have benefited from multiple narrators since it was told from different POVs.

I was so lucky to get both alc and arc of this book. It was a great mix od mystery and crime. I listened more but at some parts I had to read and I loved I had to pay more attention to all that was going on. It was greeping and I moved fast through. I was a little sad maybe at the end when all was done and there was a twist and a story that I do not know if will ever go on but nice try.

Marriage is forever? This had so many layers that was impossible to survive but was also interesting to watch, well read and listen about from a third part. The characters were well developed and was not clear the ending at all. Many twist made it a wonderful thriller.

Harper Collins Audio and Avon Books UK for this great experience.

I have wanted to read a C L Taylor book for a while now, so was delighted to get approved for this new one - and what a great book it is too - I was engrossed from beginning to end. There are a stack of twists which were a complete surprise and the ending is especially tense - I can see this being made into a movie. It's a pretty short book/audio and it's pretty fast paced with all circa 7 hours being packed with mystery and suspense. This is a highly recommended read which is out on 23rd June 2022. Thanks to NetGallery and HarperCollins UK Audio for allowing me to get a copy of the book. I'll certainly be reading other books by this Author.

4.5⭐️

I had read several of this authors books and loved them, so I was excited to read this one.

I had the audiobook version narrated by Claire Corbett she adds a good level of tension. There’s a good distinction between the characters voices.

Olivia Sutherland was wrongfully convicted of planning to murder 5 years ago.
Now she is free is intent on re building her relationship with her daughter, proving her innocence and bringing down her husband.

It is told by 3 POV Olivia, Dom (the husband) and Dani (the police officer involved in the investigation)

Olivia takes on cell mate Smithy to help her prove her innocence. As I was sold on Olivia’s innocence I was behind her quest. I really liked Smithy she is so down to earth and street wise.
There’s a range of characters each with ‘issues’ which adds interest, some likeable some you hate.

There’s plenty going on with the plot to give a good level of tension. Lots of twists and turns. It kept me well entertained throughout. I just felt the rounding up at the end dragged on a bit.
It’s one that I highly recommend.

I received an advanced audiobook copy in exchange for an honest review

Love this author- one of her best. Not much beyond what you’d expect for this kind of thriller but it absolutely does the job. More than serviceable.
