The Elevator

By: Claire Cooper

Narrated by: Sarah Durham

My whole body is shaking, my breath catches in my throat. I’m stuck here. Trapped. With the one person who will do anything to destroy me....

When I step into the elevator that sweltering morning, I barely notice the woman standing next to me. She seems out of place, with her floaty linen clothes in a building full of suits. But that’s none of my business.

A minute later, there’s a sudden jerk. The elevator stops. The lights go out.

The other woman’s face is deathly pale. She’s breathing noisily, clearly panicking. As we sit slumped against the mirrored walls, we start talking to try and keep calm.

I tell her I moved halfway round the world to start again where no one knew what I was hiding. I tell her my darkest secrets, because she seems to understand, and we’re never going to see each other again, right?

But I’m wrong.

We’re not strangers.

None of this is an accident.

And when the truth comes out, there’ll be nowhere to hide....

A brilliantly twisty ride from start to finish, that will have you gasping out loud at the twists. Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, Freida McFadden, and Claire McGowan.

Confusing Mess

This could have been a decent listen except for a few things. First, the narrator doesn't do a good job at differentiating between characters which makes it difficult with back and forth multi timelines. Then to make it worse one of them changes their name. Makes the timelines incredibly difficult to follow.

More of a drama thriller

There really wasn’t a mystery per se, the connections between the two women on the elevator was pretty obvious since the beginning and the only few thrilling parts were the elevator passages.

Boring. Stopped about 3/4 ways there always hoping to see the point

It is a story of two women describing their boring life and love life. I suspect one was a mirdereds but who cares about her supposed struggles. A psychopath

Very good story!

This book was a cool
And unique story with a very different type of twist… the narration was excellent!
