About this listen

THE WORD-OF-MOUTH SENSATION
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
A RICHARD & JUDY BOOKCLUB SELECTION

NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES

'Timely and compelling' Shari Lapena
'Impressive' The Times
'Gripping' Observer
'Sensational’ Clare Mackintosh


A high-profile marriage thrust into the spotlight.

A prosecutor who believes justice has been a long time coming.


A scandal that will rock Westminster.

And the women caught at the heart of it.


Praise for Anatomy of a Scandal:

'Magnificent' Marian Keyes

'Intelligent, subtle and thought-provoking' Louise Candlish

'The definition of a page-turner' Elizabeth Day

'Almost impossible to put down' Louise O’Neill

'Once the trial of MP James Whitehouse starts, you could not have prised the book from hands for love or money' Jake Kerridge, Sunday Express

'An absolute masterpiece – prepare to be very impressed' heat

'A lot of reviews claim that a novel has them ‘hooked from the start’ – but with this story, it’s painfully true' Grazia

‘A timely thriller about marriage, but also about power, who wields it, and how that affects who we believe’ Stylist

‘Well-written, pacy and full of twists and turns’ Independent


'New Netflix series lays bare the toxic privilege of those in power… Friend’s performance is eerily plausible. His Whitehouse is charismatic and smoothly persuasive, his eloquence barely concealing his arrogance… Equally strong is Miller as Sophie, who is forced for the first time to examine her own cosseted way of life and the principles she has sacrificed to preserve it' Financial Times

'This drama will immediately entire fans of House of Cards, Apple Tree Yard and The Undoing…. Miller is excellent as the elegant, brittle Sophie, who is forced to watch her beautifully organised house fall out of order, the heart of a drama that manages to feel both aesthetically glossy and morally gritty' Sunday Times Culture

'Feels like it could have been ripped from the headlines' Evening Standard

'A cautionary tale for our times' Daily Telegraph

Great Story

This is a terrific book. It is suspenseful, thought provoking and topical. I wasn’t sure I’d like it but I couldn’t stop listening. The narration was excellent

Incredibly well written and performed.

A clever and entertaining read. The voice actors did a great job in bringing the characters to life.

A subject that touches many women ( and men)

The core subject of Rape and Entitlement is written about very well. However, it didn't pack enough punch or engagement for me. I felt like I was waiting, waiting but nothing really happened until the last couple of chapters.

Hard slog.

The story for me was overpowered by the delivery. What some may think as soft monotonish reading felt like screaming due to the intensity of the readers. I kept wanting to turn it down but it wasn’t the volume but the earnest way it was read that was hard to take. I couldn’t wait for it to end just to stop listening.

Wrapped up too quickly

I really enjoyed this book until the final chapter when I felt the ending was rushed and left a lot of unanswered questions
