Summary

"Twisty and totally unpredictable, Mad Love will have thriller fans raving. Brilliantly narrated by the incomparable Julia Whelan along with a full cast, Wendy Walker's dark and electrifying tale comes to life.” Mary Kubica, NYT best-selling author of Local Woman Missing

They were madly in love. The perfect couple.

That was the story everyone in South River believed...until Gin Talcott and Adam Archer are found shot in their bed.

Adam is dead at the scene. Gin is fighting for her life.

Detectives Greta Jessup and Finn Pate are assigned to the case. Greta has a long history with Gin’s first husband, Eddie, and is determined to protect his 18-year-old twins. Piper discovered the bodies. Daniel is missing—and so is Adam’s gun.

Shocking discoveries about Gin and Adam’s marriage quickly shine a bright light on the children—and their aunt Ruth Talcott, who has her own secrets.

The one person who might know the truth is local estate attorney Sarah Branford. Gin left a letter for her two days before the shooting which Sarah now opens:

Dear Sarah, If you’re reading this, there’s a story I need to tell you. It begins and ends with Adam. I will never forgive myself for what I’ve done....

The evidence twists and turns until the shocking truth about the Talcott family—and the killer—is finally revealed.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

The pace was good!

Not fond of background noises. But story good, unpredictable, well performed. Unpredictable. Would like more of this

Not entirely believable

Too many persons too closely entwined to my liking. Even though we are reminded that the scene is happening in a small town (or village?), the persons seem to be interacting in such a small circle that I found it a bit unconvincing. Maybe it's just me, but I'm glad my environment is a bit broader...

A bit unbelievable

I enjoyed the gist of the story line but it dragged on somewhat. The voice of the mother was that of a young person which was a bit odd.

Excellent performance!

This was like watching a thriller. I loved the multi-cast format and the story was engaging and kept you guessing, with an unexpected twist.
