The Long Deception

By: Mary McCluskey

Narrated by: Henrietta Meire

The sudden death of a childhood friend forces a woman to rethink her own life - and make an impossible decision.

Alison Eastlake has come a long way from the wild days of her youth in England. Now, instead of streaking her hair purple, dreaming of becoming an artist, and sneaking cigarettes in her friend Sophie's basement, she has a career in advertising in Los Angeles and attends black-tie dinners with her executive husband. She fears that she is fast becoming the type of person she once despised.

When Alison receives news that Sophie has died of a drug overdose, leaving behind a slew of unanswered questions, she must go back home. Once there, she unearths reminders of her unruly past, including feelings for Sophie's brother, Matt - and finds that she is still powerfully attracted to him.

Careening dangerously close to a full-blown affair, Alison must now make an impossible decision. But when a long-buried secret about Sophie resurfaces, it shatters everything Alison had always believed about the past - and forces her to rethink her own life, her marriage, and her future.

Bad narrator pic

This may be a better book actually read rather an audio. The premise was interesting but Narration was very choppy, robotic couldnt get into the story.

Great listen

This is my first book by this author. I was reluctant to get it, even though it was free on amazon kindle unlimited, due to the poor review. But reading the publisher's summary, I decided to give it a try. It turned out to be a great story. Very realistic. I will definitely look out for other books by the author.

Silliest Heroine Ever

Good writing. Terrible characterization. Competently narrated. Wouldn't necessarily recommend. But would give the author another try.
