Summary

Ten years ago he killed my son. Today I married him.

Ten years ago my darling son Jesse was murdered and our perfect family was destroyed. My strong, handsome boy, so full of life, became a memory, a photo I carried with me everywhere.

But today I’m finally close to finding happiness again. My ash-blonde hair has been curled into ringlets. Carefully placed white flowers frame my delicate features. The small, drab chapel has been prettied up with white satin, and there are tiny red hearts scattered on the small table where I will soon sign the register with my new husband.

The man who killed my son.

My friends and family can’t understand it. My neighbours whisper in the street whenever I walk past. How can I love a man like Tom?

They don’t really know me at all....

The most enthralling psychological thriller you’ll listen to this year from the best-selling author K.L. Slater. If you love The Wife Between Us or Gone Girl, you’ll be totally hooked on The Marriage.

Was ok

Just ok...but silly and not repetitive. Went on and on and could have been more succinct.

Fairly Enjoyable

An interesting premise for a story if a little predictable, and with some fairly well rounded characters. I wish the reader wouldn’t leave such a long pause after commas in descriptive lists though - I found it a bit irritating, as was the husband’s name swapping from Robert to Richard and back again. It was an enjoyable enough listen though and kept my mind occupied while I did some jobs around the house.

Hmmm!

I find this author very hit and miss, some are very good, for me, this was not and I knew that early on but continue to ignore my own advice not to complete a book just because I’ve started.

Absolutely no surprises, I think I continued in case I was wrong.

The narrator was very good.
