Publisher's Summary

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Our Kind of Cruelty by Araminta Hall, read by Nick Hendrix and Eleanor Matsuura.

Passion, obsession... and murder. A deeply unsettling psychological thriller in which a secret game between lovers has deadly consequences.

Most of us spend our whole lives searching for the person who’ll make us feel complete.

But Mike and Verity know they’re different. They’ve found their soulmate, and nothing can tear them apart.

Not even the man Verity is marrying.

Because they play a secret game, one they call 'the Crave', to demonstrate what they both know: that Verity needs Mike, and Mike alone. But Mike knows that Verity's impending marriage will raise the stakes of their game higher than ever before.

Critic Reviews

"Simply one of the most disturbing thrillers I've read in years. In short I loved it, right down to the utterly chilling final line." (Gillian Flynn)
"A tense intelligent thriller that kept me gripped and guessing until the last page - and thinking long after that." (Erin Kelly)
"Toxic love, obsession, and the unflinching unravelling of a mind. Scarily plausible, a great read." (Ali Land)

Eek, this was a bit creepy

Listening to this story was interesting. In the beginning I thought I knew where the story was going. However, I realised I actually didn’t know what was going to happen and I have finished and still don’t know what’s happened. I almost feel like this was a two part story, as if I am only 1/2 way through. Worth a listen, for sure.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
