2013 Blackstone
Audio book - Performed by Karen White and Donald Corren
Overall Rating (out of 5)
⭐⭐⭐
A good book, but not spectacular. It is not one that will stand out in memory for the long term.
Jodi and Todd have been a couple for 20 years. Jodi has always been silent about Todd's indiscretions - but when one of his affairs threatens their outwardly idyllic life together, things spin out of control for them both.
One of the things about this book that I wish the author had done different, is that you know who dies at the beginning. I really think that is a disservice to the book. There really was enough anger between the players that it would have been easy to have the reader wondering well into the book, frantically turning pages.
The performances for this audio book were good. The story was very centered auround the two main characters and was narrated by each in turns. While this was no great test of the limits and ranges of the narrators' skills, they were solid in their performances.
All in all, a good debut novel.
Happy Reading
