A Small Affair

By: Flora Collins

Narrated by: Teri Schnaubelt

“A seesaw of rising tension that ultimately delivers a raw, crashing conclusion… An intensely emotional psychological roller coaster.” —Library Journal on Nanny Dearest

A young woman’s life is torn apart when her wealthy ex-lover is found dead—along with his wife.

Vera is ruthlessly ambitious, beautiful, and knows how to get exactly what she wants—no matter who stands in the way. When she meets a wealthy older man on an exclusive dating app, she thinks nothing of the wife he tells her he’s separated from. But days later, when the man and his wife are found dead in their home, Vera is immediately blamed for their deaths and branded as good as a murderer.

A year later, she emerges from a cocoon of self-pity and tries to reenter the world, but the specter of scandal still clings to her. Then she’s invited to a memorial for the wife of her former lover. As she learns more about the family, and about the couple and their friends, she begins to suspect there was more to the story than an affair gone wrong. In a quest for redemption, Vera uncovers layers of lies and close-kept secrets held by an inner circle of filthy rich tech millionaires who will go to any lengths to protect their reputations.

Not one of my favorites

Not one of my favorite books on Audible. It felt slow and not very engaging.

Well Written- Hard to get through

Really tough to like this book. It is well written . No redeemable characters All about make overs, using people and depressing overall.

Underrated slow-burn drama

If you need likable characters to root for then no, this probably isn't for you. I found myself interested in their drama and debauchery. The story did move slowly but I enjoyed the whole journey. It was easy to follow and kept me engaged. I was hooked!

I came because of the beautiful book cover but I stayed for the tea.

Loved it!

This book was SO GOOD! I have about 400 of this kind of book in my library lol and this was one of my favs

Id say B- / C+ rating

Not great but kept my attention for the most part. Storyline was very interesting & unique! It had some really weird parts that didn’t really pertain to the story & just seemed “off”. The ending was a let down but I actually really enjoyed it until about an hour left, then it felt underwhelming.
