About this listen

A woman who has everything....

People would kill to have Faye Adelheim’s life. She lives in an ultra-swanky apartment in the most exclusive area of Stockholm, she has a gorgeous husband who gives her everything she’s ever wanted and she has an adorable daughter who lights up her world. Faye’s life is perfect.

So how is it, then, that she now finds herself in a police station?

The truth is that Faye’s life is far from what it seems. The truth is that Faye isn’t even her real name. And now she’s been caught out. There’s no way she’s going to go down without a fight. The only question is – who will escape with their life?

Ok

The storyline was ok. The sex scenes however felt as if a 17 year old male had added them in afterward as a joke. They felt really disjointed and out of place with the rest of the story. The author did however capture the relationship between the main character and her husband perfectly but the the sex scenes really didn't add to the story in any way they just seemed out of place.

Good but not great

Having read all the fallback series this very different. I was going to give up and skipped to the end which decided me to continue ( without knowing the ending) disappointed in a few things. They’re were not addressed and it often appeared that the author wasnt sure how we should view the main character. The sex part made the reader more perplexed as to what genre this book was

Great narration not sure about story

Nearly gave up on this during part 1 but story switched up a gear in part 2. Narration was excellent but found story mundane and predictable at times. Wasn't really sure how I should view main character and don't think I'll bother reading second book

Interesting

An interesting story, but how does a strong, intelligent, independent young woman become a snivelling, weak wife? Made no sense. But then she reverts! I did love the ending. I had guessed as much.
