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.

Good but Inconsistent

Quite a few discrepancies with this. for example.. the main character goes to Jail at 18. 10 years later he is released and can drive? There are other inconsistencies too. But they are weak enough to be ignored and on the whole the premise is good.

Good but predictable

I love this author but I feel like she's churning out novels and they aren't as good as they used to be. overall I enjoyed it but I had predicted the ending 6/8 in and thus the final two hours were just frustrating to listen to.

Page Turner!

Awww, what a riveting storyline. Had me hooked right from the beginning. The book kept me interested all the way through and I never guessed the outcome before it was revealed. Really clever construction. Loved the little twist at the end too. This is the first book by this author I have read ..... and I already have her next title in my library!

K.L.Slater never fails.

Another excellent story line, beautifully narrated. Cannot wait to listen to another of her books.

Great Audible book

I really enjoyed this book . It keeps your attention for the whole way through. Not the ending I’d expected so the twists in the story made it more entertaining.

Not very good at all really…

Story’s ok, but the narration is dull - stilted, lacking conviction and too flat. Grateful this was free and not used a a credit.

Thank god it’s over!

One of the worst written and narrated I have ever listened to in the 8 years I have been listening to audible books! What a dull, awful, predictable, boring story, with every character being horrendously unlikeable - I feel like it’s actually zapped the life out of me!

Original

Certainly an unusual story. Enjoyable listen. Greatly enhanced by terrific narration. Plot relies on a lot of unnecessary secrets but probably wouldn’t be an intriguing story otherwise.

Was ok

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