Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
What do you do when your perfect life spins out of control?
A gripping psychological thriller that combines the emotional warmth of Man and Boy with the excitement of The Murder Bag.
Tara Carver seems to have the perfect life. A loving mother and wife and a business woman who runs her own company, she's the sort of person you'd want to live next door to, who might even become your best friend.
But what sort of person is she really?
Because in one night of madness, on a work trip far from home, she puts all this at risk. And suddenly her dream life becomes a living nightmare when the married man she spent one night with tells her he wants a serious relationship with her. And that he won't leave her or her precious family alone until she agrees.
There seems to be only one way out. And it involves murder....

Enjoyable listen
Intriguing from the beginning. Not a predictable listen. Slight lack lustre with performances. Still enjoyable.

Sad
I found it very hard to like Tara, the protagonist. I couldn’t feel that I really wanted to hear this story, but just carried on listening because I don’t like to give up!!! A sad tale.

The story and the quality of the writing
The writing is accomplished. The place is just right. I found it hard to guess where the story was going.
Laura’s delivery could have been better. It didn’t change. She sounded distant, depressed and miserable, which would have been right for some of it but not for all of it. I bit more depth in her voice and delivery would have increased the enjoyment of this audio book.

Worth a read
Good book that had my interest from the start. Easy to get into, to learn the characters & understand them. Did keep me guessing about who did what.......quite a sad story overall! Great narration from both sides.....worth a read but something missing that I can't put my finger on

Parsons shows his versatility
Anyone thinking of an extramarital one night stand (PS: I’m not!!!) would think after reading Your Neighbour’s Wife. If you’re looking for laughs this isn’t the book for you but it’s certainty a gripping listen and one that I would recommend. Having two narrators worked

Absorbing
This novel was a great choice to listen to. Having two narrators as the main characters, read by sensitive performers, added to the enjoyment. There is so much to entertain. An accidental one night stand has so many repercussions, including murder. It looks forensically into relationships, good and bad, with surprising turns in the story.

Second time around.
Having not read a Tony Parsons book in a while, I decided to revisit an old favourite. Although I vaguely recalled the storyline, I thankfully forgot the culprit.
Tara's life as a successful entrepreneur takes her to a conference in Japan, where she has to speak in front of like-minded women. Trying to concentrate on the up-and-coming speech, she finds herself confiding in a rather charming chap. Overtaken by pressure and away from her family, Tara makes one mistake. This mistake puts her family, business, and lifestyle in danger.
Who will back down first?
4/5

Tony Parsons has done it again
Tony is my favourite author. I loved Laura’s voice from the outset. It was believable and easy on the ear. I thought Tom was a little bit too cultured for the character. Then the story took over and I was enthralled as ever. I listened and finished the book over the course of a week.
I would and will recommend this to everyone.
I hope we get another book soon from this wonderful author be it like this one or Max Wolfe.
