About this listen
Imagine nine women meeting. Tea and cake are on the coffee table. They’ve come together to share their love of books. They are friends. They trust each other. It’s a happy gathering. What could be more harmless? Scratch the surface and look closer.
One is lonely, one is desperate and one of them is a killer.
When the body of a woman is discovered on a Cambridge common, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer are called to investigate. But the motive behind the crime isn’t clear...and it all leads back to a book club.
As the lies, volatile friendships and tension among the group rise to the surface, DCI Barrett and DI Palmer must work out the motive and track down a cold-blooded killer. But just when they think they are on the right track, a twist in the case throws them off course....
Betsy Reavley is the best-selling author of multiple thrillers including The Optician's Wife, The Quiet Ones and Frailty. This title is an unmissable new whodunnit which will appeal to fans of authors like Cara Hunter, Rachel Abbott, Faith Martin and LJ Ross.

Strange conclusion
Very rushed ending, started well but never really got going could of been better if we had got to know the characters before it ended,

Mediocre writing and dull narration
Sadly, I couldn't finish this book. The stilted narration made mediocre writing unbearable. Glad it was a book included in my membership so no money wasted!

Dreary, awful, over acted narration.
I thought I’d like this. It started off with some promise, but rapidly deteriorated, partly due to the thin plot lines, lack of real character development, and the poor execution of the narrator. Her voice was always just trying too hard. It became dull and irritating. I don’t know how I got through it. Even the police procedures were poorly researched and the whole daft story just lost credibility.

Couldn’t listen to the narrator
The narrator would be better talking on documentaries she enunciates beautifully but has no feeling. I couldn’t listen past the first couple of chapters. Shame cos I think the story might have been quite good!

Really dull
This was a really dull book once it got started I had high hopes but it just never gathered any steam! Found the remarks with regards to she said she was raped rather upsetting!

Bit dull
This was an ok story. Nothing earth shattering and definitely no finger biting cliffhangers. The narrator was very bad………full stops seemed to be ignored during some parts.

The narration is so bad, I got to like it
The narration is really really bad, the accents (terrible), the way sentences are broken up, strange gaps left between words. Ironically, it's like someone reading at a book club, it's so amateurish. This must have been recorded on the cheap. Then onto the story, why do these women hate each other so much? And if they do, why on earth are they going to a book club together, surely the point of that is to have fun. It just doesn't make sense. And as for the motivation for the murders, just silly. Then the number of characters, too many. There's 9 at the book club (why not 6 or 5 or better still, 3), and then on top of those there are various husbands and 2 detectives. There needs to be a main character we follow, but there isn't, or the only one we might have followed, dies pretty quickly. And after 3 hours in, there aren't really any suspects.
Having said all that, it was so bad, it kind of grew on me, and became soothing. And I needed to get to the end. It's like when you used to watch someone counting pennies out at the bank, and it sent you into a trance. Well that's what this does.
