The Lie in Our Marriage

Detective Dan Riley, Book 6

By: Anna-Lou Weatherley

Narrated by: James Lailey

On a warm spring evening, guests gather in a perfectly manicured garden to celebrate Maggie and Len’s twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Maggie leans against the apple tree, watching her fun-loving husband and darling children as her heart swells with pride. As the joyful party atmosphere disappears into the night, close by, the lifeless body of a young woman is pulled from a river.

Slipping upstairs to find the special gift for her adoring husband, Maggie stumbles across something else hidden amongst the dusty boxes of family keepsakes...

A printed pink silky scarf that doesn’t belong to her. She holds it up to her face, breaths in the sweet sickly perfume, it’s scent familiar, and tendrils of fear snake through her body. The scarf is stained with blood.

As Maggie re-joins the party and tries to ignore her churning stomach, she pours herself a glass of champagne to toast the man she’s enjoyed decades of happy marriage with. Then she catches a news flash of the local girl’s murder. She stares at the girl with the beautiful face, long ice-blonde hair and, draped loosely around her neck, Maggie recognises it instantly. She’s wearing the scarf.

An utterly addictive and twisty story about the complex web of secrets within a family that will have you racing through to the mind-blowing end. If you love Lisa Jewell, Gillian Flynn and Behind Closed Doors, you won’t be able to put this down!

Predictable, somewhat, but great story!

Really liked this one… It was free, so I’m never sure about those but the performance of the narrator was great, and the story itself had some twist and turns that weren’t expected

Decisions

I can see Maggie's point of view but, I would have questioned my husband first.

Fabulous narration!

The story was decent, not amazing but worth a listen. The narrator however was really wonderful! He made the story for me!

another enjoyable addition

I've liked almost all of these books, I just don't understand what that actual lie in their marriage was.. lol

Love!

I just love this series! I’ve been waiting and waiting for this next book to come out! It did not disappoint
