Summary

An Audible Best Mystery and Thriller Audiobook of 2023

In this chilling story from the bestselling author of The Secret Mother, it’s the wedding day of Alice’s dreams. Until it becomes a nightmare…

Alice and Seth are a perfect love story: the handsome doctor and his beautiful fiancée. They’re wealthy, well liked and made for each other—the envy of all their friends. Alice can’t wait for the day of their dream wedding. But when she arrives at the altar, she doesn’t recognise the man waiting to marry her.

When this stranger insists he’s Seth, her husband-to-be, the entire congregation seems to agree. Even her parents try to persuade Alice to go through with the wedding.

As panic sets in, Alice’s world comes apart. Where is the real Seth, and why have all traces of him disappeared from her life? Fearing she’s losing her mind, she sets out to uncover the truth and escape the nightmare she’s living in. But with everyone around her convinced by the fake Seth, how can she ever hope to find the man she loves?

Interesting twist at the end

I quite enjoyed this book, I liked the idea of it , beginning was good end was good but a few hours on the middle did drag . I think this story could have been shorter and equally as good . All in all not bad

Really Struggled

I usually really enjoy a Shalini Boland audio book so downloaded this as soon as it was released.
I have to say I very nearly gave up after a few chapters. The story just didn’t go anywhere and unfortunately the narration by the usually good Katie Villa was poor. In my head the main character Alice was a 20 something young bride but Katie’s voice portrayed her as in her 40’s and made her sound dull and boring. The story was so unbelievable it was laughable. The twist if you could call it that was predictable and dull.
I’m sorry but I really didn’t enjoy this.

Really great thriller!

Finally a thriller with an unexpected twist! I have been so disheartened by thrillers lately, but this was great. Easy listening, building to an unputdownable crescendo and just when you think you’ve guessed the plot, Shalini Boland stumbles you. Highly recommended reading!

Unbelievable and unlikeable

The protagonist was so useless and passive that I found her incredibly unlikeable. The number of times she thought ‘I want to do x but someone (anyone) might not like it so I will do y, and then be sad because other people are SO inauthentic…’ I grew to not care what happened at all.

Gripping if a Bit far fetched in places

Interesting storyline and definitely keeps you guessing. I did get a bit irritated with the main character continually changing her affections but overall a good gripping listen

Intriguing...

Very far fetched storyline but definitely draws you in and keeps you guessing. Not my favourite by this author, but worth a listen. Narrator brilliant as usual.😊
