My Husband’s Murder

An absolutely brilliant book! One of my favourites it a while. It reminded me of The Evidence by KL Slater. A bit predictable in places but really enjoyable with a great narrator. The multiple timelines were a bit confusing but worth it. I enjoyed Hannah’s potentially unreliable narration.

Dark. Thrilling. Chilling. This psychological thriller kept me on the edge of my seat basically the whole time, and I'm so grateful for the chance to get my mind off everything happening in the world right now. This audiobook was the perfect escape listen.

The Murder of Graham Catton is about Hannah, the widow of Graham who died over a decade earlier. She continues to struggle with her loss daily and even hears his voice. But when a famous true crime podcast chooses Graham's death as its topic, it makes things a lot worse for Hannah: she gets endless threats from listeners who think she murdered Graham. But what really happened to the husband?..

I don't want to reveal any of the plot (there's a reason why the Publisher's note is so minimal), but it is full of unexpected twists which can become really confusing if you're not paying your full attention. This novel is meant to be a complex mystery/thriller, and I absolutely loved the seamless execution.

I highly recommend this book to people looking for a really good psychological thriller - and fans of podcasts. This part reminded me of "Conviction" by Denise Mina, which I also liked a lot.

I liked the narration until the reader starts putting on other voices. I found this quite cringeworthy. I never enjoy this style of reading.
The book itself was excellent. I have listened almost nonstop when I should have been doing other things. It was that enthralling.
The reader (listener in my case) is never sure whether this is a ghost story, a figment of a disturbed mind or a tale of an unbalanced liar. I won’t tell you which it turns out to be. You won’t guess everything and there are some amazing surprises along the way.
One warning though, amongst the rest is a tale of abuse; both mental and physical. This part was so well written, so much so that I had flashbacks to my own experiences. There were moments when I felt like my own life was being discussed. Katie Lowe did an excellent job with this subject.

Wow this story was amazing! A domestic thriller, which tricks you into a false sense of thinking you know what happened and then springing a surprise twist towards the end, that completely catches you off guard!

The author has written this fabulously. It’s told in a first person narrative, from the perspective of Hannah. Years ago, Hannah woke up to find her husband lying dead on the kitchen floor with a knife sticking out of him. Hannah had no memory of what happened, and we are then moved forward, to years later, where Hannah has a new life, with her daughter Evie and new partner Dan. A news blog series is recording a series with the murder of Hannah’s husband Graham Catton, as the main subject. The person convicted of killing him is being released and there’s questions surrounding the legitimacy of the evidence and

As the story progresses, you are taken through the confusion, and cruel torment Hannah is put through as the past is resurfaced and she is forced to face what happened, years before, finding herself under suspicion of others, and questioning her own sanity. All is not as it seems, and as the story unfolds, the truth slowly comes to light, with a HUGE surprise twist that connects all the dots together and perfectly brings the story to a fab ending!

The character development of Hannah is fab. I could really feel her unravelling as I moved through the story. I began to really feel for her, especially the troubling relationships she faced in the past. I like the atmospheric haunting feeling the story gave me at times, particularly those moments where Hannah was hearing voices and seeing shadows move. The chapters flowed well, I was hooked, eager to find out more and I ended up finishing this within days.

I enjoyed this story as an audiobook. The narrator read through the story fab, she made some fantastic expressions and accents through our the story and brought in lots of emotions and tension in through her reading.

This fab domestic thriller is the perfect read for those looking for a book that progresses through twists, tension which unravels to a surprising twist! I completely recommend.
