About this listen

The perfect boyfriend...or the perfect liar? Should Have Known Better is the tense new psychological thriller by A J McDine.

It’s the moment single-mum Kate has been dreading. With her only daughter, Chloe, about to leave home, she’s terrified by the prospect of an empty nest. That is until she meets charming lawyer Adam. He could be the perfect catch - if it wasn’t for his clingy son.

Because Ben has a crush on Chloe. A crush that is fast becoming an obsession. Flattered by the attention, Chloe is happy to string him along - for now at least. But Kate can see the danger signs, even if her daughter can't. And when Chloe’s life begins spiralling out of control, Kate must make a choice - trust her instincts or lose her daughter forever....

Good Story

Good interesting storyline. Narration fine as well. A little predictable when you get to the middle chapters. But for a light read - very good

Worth a listen but…

Not an author I have read before, an enjoyable book if a little predictable. The story unfolds at a good pace, but I found the final scenes too far fetched and the author seemed to be in a rush to conclude the story, almost listing certain outcomes to tie up loose ends.

Predictable. Characters were not really likeable...

The story line was predictable all along, however it was entertaining enough to continue to the end. The narration was good, however I am not sure how likeable the characters were.

Gripped from the start

Before finding this book to listen to, I had tried 5 others and just couldn’t get into them. However from the very first chapter of this one, I was hooked! Great story line, brilliant narration, and another author found that I will now listen to.

Fab listen!

I’m liking this author! I usually stick to the same authors but gave this a go & it suits my thriller, Twisty, keeps you guessing needs! Absolutely loved the ending too, not all thrillers give you an ending like that with kind of what happened after so appreciated that!

Entertaining, but weak storyline

Pretty weak storyline and all very predictable. But it was quite entertaining and better than some. The narrator was very pleasant and did a good job of moving the story along.
