About this listen

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER

A Divorced Woman. A Dangerous Man. A Devastating Affair.

‘You’re right. It is totally extraordinary. My life is like a film; you couldn’t make it up … But there’s something I have to tell you,’ he confided, as he leaned across the table towards me. ‘I’m not normal.’

Carolyn Woods was living happily in a quiet Cotswolds village when an attractive stranger abruptly arrived in her life.

Introducing himself as Mark Conway, he exuded confidence and to her surprise Carolyn quickly became captivated by this mysterious man. A rich Swiss banker (who later confessed to being a spy), he offered Carolyn companionship and introduced her to an exciting, glamorous world.

In fact, some things were so astonishing she began to question her new lover. Was all as it seemed?

The truth was even harder to believe. For a start, his real name was Mark Acklom, he was wanted by Interpol, and he was rich but for one reason only…

A true-crime story that reads like a thriller, Sleeping with a Psychopath is a blow-by-blow account of the power of manipulation and a testament to the human will to survive.

Amazing in the wrong way

I was hooked immediately but became less interested as the storyline continued
When does a strong woman turn into a stubborn and frankly headstrong annoying character
I feel really sorry for what this lady went through but to blindly follow the fraudsters tune for so long is hard to believe. The nice trip had me actually holding my breath in disbelief
Hopefully the money will returned eventually

Good start

It started off interesting but I struggled to finish it. It became repetative and annoying

Riveting, brave story

I found the story riveting, and was amazed at the author’s bravery and courage to tell it so honestly and this book hopefully will help others heal from coercive relationships. The only downside for me was the narrator, who sounded more apt for reading a biography of Thatcher or something. The story was enough to keep me listening though, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

What a brave woman!

It took me a while to get into this story but once I was fully immersed and engaged with her story, I couldn’t stop listening! I had to hear that she became happy again! Great book, harrowing story. Well worth a listen. 😁

Moving account of a terrible situation

I was familiar with this story from the press and also the documentary. It is a truly awful series of events and I am sure like most people reading it I was shouting NOOOOO at the author. It is easy to see from the outside the flaws in stories Carolyn is being told but caught in the middle of it I imagine it is easy to be manipulated by a psychopath. Carolyn tells her story with honesty and bravery I have seen her interviewed on TV and she is an intelligent and charming woman who had the most dreadful experience. The only issue I have is with the narrator her voice really grates and actually portrays Carolyn as very different to how she comes across in person. I wish someone different had been chosen as I think this would have really enhanced the experience of this book.

Amazing woman

This is a truly riveting read. Amazing strong woman who reveals her vulnerability and thus makes the book even more enthralling. The only downside is the narrator who sounds cold and rather pompous. it's a shame Carolyn didn't narrate it but I understand that would have been incredibly difficult. Hats off to her though for having the strength to write it.
