Summary

Two strangers never meet. One of them ends up dead. The other is accused of murder.

Jodi Brown is walking her beloved dog, Milo, in a North London wood, unaware that she is being stalked. When her dog is stolen and later returned to her by Samantha Hooper, Jodi believes this to be an act of kindness, and a friendship develops between the two young women. What she doesn’t know - is that Samantha is intent on using Jodi to commit the perfect murder.

This suspenseful psychological thriller revolves around Samantha Hooper, a disturbing presence who drives the story, Jodi Brown the unsuspecting prey who gets caught up in Samantha’s net and Raif Kennedy, a slick American with a beautiful wife and a colourful past. Jude Brown, Jodi’s estranged musician brother, heavily in debt and with a history of alcohol abuse, completes the foursome.

What links these characters together is love, lust and betrayal. All four don’t leave through the same door they came in. And one of them doesn’t make it out at all....

Hooked!

A definite recommend. Absolutely loved this. Characters were great and plot kept surprising me throughout! Lots of twists I didn't see coming! Usually I just listen on the commute but once I got home I had to keep listening!

Compelling read

Really enjoyed this book, , I was left guessing until the very end.
The characters were vivid and sympathetic, the plot was so well put together and wonderfully atmospheric.
The book was superbly narrated by the author herself. I hope there is a follow up.

A real page turner!

Strong characters with twists impossible to predict. I couldn't turn it off - went through half the novel in one listen.
As compelling and unpredictable as Gone Girl.
A terrific read.

Unpredictable, chilling with a crackle

Brilliant, exciting thriller with unexpected twists. Unputdownable !
I was caught up in the world of the two women who outwit each other and live to fight another day. I want to find out what happens to them in the next story. Bravo Annie Hulley!

A Killer Thriller

This is the first audio book that I have ever listened to and it took me a while to get used to not having the book in my hand! However I soon sat back and relaxed into letting the reader turn the pages for me. It didn't take me long to picture the characters and the scenes because the writer was meticulous in describing every detail. I looked forward to my 'me time' with a coffee and listening to the calculated movements of the killer.

"The Man She Never Met" is gripping. It leads you straight to the heart of the two main players and what makes them tick, and yet it never sacrifices its ability to intrigue; the plot is full of twists and turns and surprises right until the end. Psychologically profound and very intense, it is a really satisfying read.

I'm glad that the ending was just open enough for me to be able to say that I am looking forward to seeing what Piper gets up to next!

A great story, well read by the author. I have already downloaded some more books to listen to.

What a twist!

I revel in thrillers and figuring out the ending before I finish a TV show or book. This one I didn’t see coming! I loved learning more about the characters and how they intertwined in each other’s lives.

Annie’s narration makes this a really entertaining listen, she makes the characters incredibly real and you feel like you are listening to a TV show.

Would love to see this on TV!

PUT YOUR BOX SET ASIDE AND WALLOW IN THIS ....

This was my initiation into the world of audio booksI and I was kind of beguiled by the whole experience.It's a real page turner of a debut novel and you know you are in very capable hands from the offset .It's an engrossing listen.
The saga has a plot full of twists and surprises with genuinely involving ,complex characters.It starts out with deceptive simplicity and subtlety ratchets up both tension and relentless suspense unspooling into a taut psychological thriller. The added bonus being the perfectly pitched narration by the author Annie Hulley .She has a real gift.
Seductive,deft ,composed and effortless, able to wring every nuance from the tale she has so carefully crafted.Perfect winning combination of writing and storytelling.Swich on ,close your eyes and wallow in it .
