You Should Have Told Me

By: Leah Konen

Narrated by: Karissa Vacker

A new mother chases the secrets her partner left behind after his sudden disappearance in this pulse-pounding domestic thriller from the author of The Perfect Escape.

Janie needs a break: her baby won’t sleep, she’s struggling with motherhood, and a secret from her past threatens to tear her new family apart. So when her partner, Max, offers to do their baby’s feedings that night so she can finally get some sleep, she jumps at the chance. But when Janie wakes up at three a.m., her daughter is screaming alone in her bassinet … Max has vanished.

Alone with a newborn and desperate for answers, Janie searches for Max, but the more she learns about the man she loves, the more she wonders how well she knew him at all. When a woman is murdered and Max becomes the prime suspect, Janie must face her partner’s secrets—and her own—if she ever wants her daughter to see her father again.

An endlessly suspenseful and surprising look at both the beauty and darkness of modern motherhood, You Should Have Told Me is a roller-coaster of a thriller with family at its heart.

main character is awful

The only reason I listened to the whole book is because of the amazing narrator!
main character is whiny and not captivating. The end is unimpressive and makes no sense. it trues to be a shocker but does not accomplish that!

Page turner

Thrilling read and relatable as a mother. This book kept me wanting more. I enjoyed it.

Great story

I loved this mystery. Great character development, good storyline, I loved the little twists throughout and at the end. It’s also about forgiveness, motherhood, love, and family. I highly recommend this book.

Loved it

I finished it in one day - loved Karissa Vacker’s narration as always. Solid plot and tied up nicely in the end which was satisfying. Def worth a credit

Whiny mother that complains a lot

I disliked the lead character- I’m a mother too and no new mother has a how-to book, but the constant drama and whiny complaints was a lot. Seems like she forever breastfeeding- there are pumps and breast milk can be stored. If I weren’t a mother already this book would have turned me off from motherhood.
