About this listen
A gripping psychological thriller from the bestselling author of Follow You Home and The Magpies.
It was the job she had dreamed of since childhood. But on her very first day, when an unnerving encounter drags up memories Sophie Greenwood would rather forget, she wonders if she has made a mistake. A fatal mistake.
What is her ambitious young assistant really up to? And what exactly happened to Sophie's predecessor? When her husband and daughter are pulled into the nightmare, Sophie is forced to confront the darkest secrets she has carried for years.
As her life begins to fall apart at work and at home, Sophie must race to uncover the truth about her new job...before it kills her.

Well written, well read, keeps you listening
Would you listen to The Devil's Work again? Why?
I don't usually listen to Psychological Thrillers. The prologue nearly put me off as it was too disturbing, so I skipped it until I had finished the book. The rest of the book kept me interested and wanting to know more.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Sophie, the main character was very relatable.
What about Anna Parker-Naples’s performance did you like?
The Narrator's performance was very good, it was well read, expression was good. She was good at the various English regional Accents and she did male, female well.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did stay up way too late to find out what happened next.
Any additional comments?
It was an interesting plot with a seemingly mundane setting, a publishing workplace but there was a history which collided with current events. Not predictable. Lots of mystery, twists and turns.

One of the best Mark Edwards yet
The perfect crime thriller. Initially, Sophie seems incomprehensibly daft; the plot too obvious to be borne. But there are some neat twists and complex plotting here. Maybe you'll pick it, maybe you won't. But it's absolutely a compulsive read despite occasionally hammy English accents. Mark Edwards is very good at delivering this type of book, and this is right up there with Because She Loves me, and way above Follow You Home.

That narrator! Argh 🤬
Good grief this woman narrating! What is this accent this daft woman is using, gosh this made me mad, I wouldn’t of bought this on audio if I had of known it was as bad as this, I would of stuck to print. I recommend future buyers to avoid this audio at all costs! Read other reviews on the bad accents the reader uses.
I found I started to resent the lead character, Sophies character was supposed to be an intellectual but the accent sounded like something from either Geordie Shore or Housos.
It ruined this for me as it distracts from the story.
Why would M.E use such an inexperienced voice actor!! Grrrrrr.

Not one of my favourite M.E books
I would have returned this book, however I wanted to see if it would get better.
The narrator was very average - it would have been better if it had a more experienced narrator like Julia Barry, then the story would have had more of that Sophie Hannah creepiness.
The story was average and I was able to work out who the murderer was early on *sigh* . The ending was boring.
