"I gobbled it down in one sitting." – Anne Lamott, People

Jodi and Todd are at a bad place in their marriage. Much is at stake, including the affluent life they lead in their beautiful waterfront condo in Chicago, as she, the killer, and he, the victim, rush haplessly toward the main event. He is a committed cheater. She lives and breathes denial. He exists in dual worlds. She likes to settle scores. He decides to play for keeps. She has nothing left to lose. Told in alternating voices, The Silent Wife is about a marriage in the throes of dissolution, a couple headed for catastrophe, concessions that can’t be made, and promises that won’t be kept. Expertly plotted and reminiscent of Gone Girl and These Things Hidden, The Silent Wife ensnares the reader from page one and does not let go.

Meh

It was ok. Towards the end it got a bit boring and I tuned out. So really don’t know what happens. The story overall was a 3.

Slow, meditative burn

Not necessarily for those who want twist after twist or a wild ride, but the writing and performances are good and I thought the story was well-written and interesting.

Outstanding!!

I will preface that I usually listen to at least 5 books a week. So I really wanted “next” audio to be captivating. As a result I’m continually multitasking. This is a book/audio that you give yourself permission to sit back, relax and follow that twisted road. So many nuances, great dark humor, character development was excellent. Definitely recommend.

Narration was excellent. Capturing the various character’s emotions in their own unique voice was incredible!!

appreciated the perspective

everyday detail made it easier to grasp this work. relatable characters and scenarios. narration accentuated storyline.

Love it

Maybe this could be boring for some, but I love all of the psychology, clever writing and storyline. Saskia is just my very favorite!!!
