Summary
It happens to every mother. One day, the daughter whose whole world you once were, becomes someone you barely know. And you don’t know the secrets she’s hiding....
One hot summer night, 15-year-old Olivia comes home late from a party she was strictly forbidden from going to, and she and her mother, Hannah, start arguing. Soon Olivia speaks the words that every parent has heard from their teenage child:
"I hate you. You’ve ruined my life. And I’m never speaking to you again."
Olivia has never been an easy child, a sharp contrast to her easy-going, happy-go-lucky little sister. But Hannah thinks Olivia’s outburst is the end of a normal family argument. In fact, it’s only the beginning of a nightmare....
After one day of silence, Hannah thinks Olivia is taking a teenage sulk too far. After two days, she starts to feel anxious that something more serious could be going on. After a week, when her daughter still hasn’t spoken, Hannah knows that Olivia is hiding a bigger darkness - something that could threaten to tear their precious family apart....
The Argument is a psychological thriller that asks how far we can push our families before they finally break. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, The Woman in the Window, and The Silent Patient.

GRABS YOU FROM PAGE 1
I think is is probably one of the best audible listens I had in a long, long time, NO spoilers other than to say when the twists started coming they we’re gasp out loud twists, this book would make an excellent tv series, I’m so glad I’ve put it in my index to enjoy again, highly recommended!

One of my favourite audio books so far.
I really enjoyed the story, the characters and the narrator. The book kept me gripped all the way through with the narrator making everything so vivid and easy to picture. Great twist and turns throughout keeping me enthralled.

Good story, not helped by narrator
I originally downloaded this book in summer last year, started reading it, but thought it was too slow so I gave up on it. I then decided to go back to it this month and again I found the narration a little too slow, so I sped up the pace by increasing it to 1.2 in my audible settings, and that made it better.
It was a good story, but the plot takes a little while to grab your attention. It is very similar to behind closed doors by BA Paris.
It takes a while for it to pick up but when it does, it is quite gripping.
I would advise you set the reading speed to 1.2 and you will have a better experience.

Just ok
This book has a pretty interesting twist. It’s dark and interesting. But I’m not sure I would read anything by this author again. It just didn’t flow right for me.

shocked by the ending
I thought I had worked out the twist but the ending flawed me. My first ever audio book and I loved it xx

Narration spoils it
Not sure if I’ll be able to finish this . The story seems good so far I’m only 4 chapters in but the narrators voice is grating on my nerves and I’m finding it difficult to concentrate on the story .
I hate to give up on a book and
I may get used to it
if I do I’ll review again

A strong storyline with some enthralling twists.
Disturbing yet gripping. Listened in two sittings despite usually stretching audiobook sessions across several journeys.
