About this listen

Six years have passed since Jake Sanders watched Natalie, the love of his life, marry another man. Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd. But six years haven't come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd's obituary, he can't keep himself away from the funeral.

There he gets the glimpse of Todd's wife he's hoping for...but she is not Natalie. Whoever the mourning widow is, she's been married to Todd for more than a decade, and with that fact everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his life - a time he has never gotten over - is turned completely inside out. As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple either can't be found or don't remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in years. Jake's search for the woman who broke his heart - and who lied to him - soon puts his very life at risk as it dawns on him that the man he has become may be based on carefully constructed fiction.

Kerry Shale’s stage credits include His Girl Friday (National Theatre) and Frost/Nixon (West End). TV credits include Dr Who and Life’s Too Short. Recent films include A Fantastic Fear of Everything. He has won three Sony Radio Awards, the APA Award for Best Male Audio Book Reader (UK) and the Audie Award for Best Male Audio Book Reader (USA). His audio books include two winners of the Man Booker Prize, Life of Pi and The White Tiger.

Easy listen

6 Years hooked me within the first chapter. The story was intriguing and the narrator did the characters well.

Keeps you thinking - highly enjoyable

Would you listen to Six Years again? Why?

No. There are so many books on my wish list that I don't listen to the same book twice.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Six Years?

The whole book. It all comes together and there are definately some 'ah ha' moments. It flows very well without giving the secrets away.

Have you listened to any of Kerry Shale’s other performances? How does this one compare?

This is my first Kerry Shale book. It wont be my last. He was very good at keeping the flow and not mixing up his characters. And he had some good voices :-)

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. I wanted to savour it.

Any additional comments?

I picked this book after reading Fool Me Once by the same author. I see Harlan Coben has many more books that I am hoping to get to.

Mixed Emotions

I just love Harlan Coben as an author but struggled with the storyline on this one. Just so much detail on every characters reaction to something, every gesture or inflection of speech & I just didn’t feel the storyline had the interest to match the level of description. The final chapter was my fave. Saying that I love the narrator, beautiful tone of voice and so easy to listen too. This will not deter me from future reads saying all this ☺️

Thrilling

I've recently discovered Harlan Coben (thanks Netflix) and I'm hooked. The stories are captivating and thrilling and keeps one guessing. Highly recommend.

Ok, but not up to the standard of his other books

It is slow. Very, very slow. There is not real build up, not real twist. Not his finest works
