About this listen
Sometimes Marisa gets the fanciful notion that Kate has visited the house before. She makes herself at home without any self-consciousness. She puts her toothbrush right there in the master bathroom, on the shelf next to theirs.
In Jake, Marisa has found everything she’s ever wanted. Then their new lodger, Kate, arrives.
Something about Kate isn’t right. Is it the way she looks at Marisa’s boyfriend? Sits too close on the sofa? Constantly asks about the baby they are trying for? Or is it all just in Marisa’s head?
After all, that’s what her Jake keeps telling her, and she trusts him - doesn’t she?
But Marisa knows something is wrong. That the woman sleeping in their house will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
Marisa just doesn’t know why.
How far will she go to find the answer - and how much is she willing to lose?

Critic reviews
"A dark, sleek, ever-tightening spiral.... Completely, terrifyingly brilliant." (Marian Keyes, author of Grown Ups)
"Elizabeth Day has written that rare book I always go hunting for, something that will keep me breathless with suspense but also buoyant with good energy. It is both sinister and comforting, outrageous but grounded, with a head-spinning plot twist...Magpie is a book that needed to exist in the world. It is the book that was missing." (Lisa Taddeo, author of Three Women and Animal)
"The most mind-blowing book of the year." (Joanna Cannon, author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep and Three Things About Elsie)
"A pacy, stylish thriller in which suspense is accompanied by fist-pumping feminism and, perhaps toughest of all, hope." (The Observer)
"Pulse-quickening-tale." (Stylist)
"Scintillating." (The Sunday Times, Thriller of the Month)

Just when I thought I knew what was happening, Elizabeth Day’s story twisted and tuned in to something totally unexpected! I could not stop listening to this book. Brilliant! Thank you.

Outstanding
I couldn't stop listening, gripping... emotionally captivating. One of those books that you are sad to get to the finish line. I can't wait to see the TV Series.

good narration and important subjects discussed
the book had me from the beggining. The twist comes early and i couldn't stop to listen. important subjects of infertility ans mental health are brought to light. The only slight disappointment was the ending.

Irritating
The narrator was mildly irritating and the story lacked authenticity and depth but the plot had an interesting twist

Thrilling audiobook that was impossible to stop listening to!
An excellent book! Was waiting for another twist towards the end for some reason but otherwise wonderful to listen to.

Listened the whole book in a day!
And it was absolutely a pleasure. Story line not too complex yet characters are related and multi faceted. You can tell the writer drew a lot from her life. The story came across very authentic. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I can’t wait to read more from E.Day!

Fantastic story
For some reason I didn’t expect much from this book but I couldn’t have been more mistaken.
I simply couldn’t stop listening.
This is a story about surrogacy but it has some unusual twists that keep you hooked til the end.
I thought it was a clever book and well performed.
