About this listen

The enthralling new psychological thriller from the best-selling author of The Girl Before.

When Abbie Cullen met Tim Scott, she was a struggling artist and he was the brilliant British cofounder of one of Silicon Valley's most successful start-ups.

Within six months, they were married. But when she promised him in her wedding vows that she would love him forever, she had no idea just how literally he would take it....

Are we losing our humanity?

This novel really made me think about what it is to be human or not? Twists to the last and a poignant Authors note to boot. Gripping.

Didn’t love it but my god it was clever

This was nothing like JP Delaneys other books which I absolutely devoured and loved. But it was so clever, so whilst I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much, I really appreciated it and couldn’t stop listening. Every time I thought I had figured something out, it would turn on its head once again. It’s not one of my favourites of his, but very well thought out and put together and I couldn’t not finish it. A really interesting concept and I really liked the author’s note at the end with the insight into how aspects were related to the his own family and autism in reality.

Absolutely brilliant!

Another winner by JP Delaney. I wasn't sure if I'd like this book with the A.I. topic but I think this writer could engage me on any topic. I absolutely loved it. The readers did a great job, I enjoyed every minute of this story, it was fascinating.

Awesome twists, turns and open ending

I found this book to be captivating from beginning to end.
I was surprised & saddened by the author’s note at the end of the book that informs the reader of his own experiences.
Definitely worth reading- so glad I used a credit on this one.

different

I enjoyed this book but it is unusual and the story is not what you expect. I do not want to give anything away. The ending was disappointing to me.

Really enjoyed it.

I thoroughly enjoyed my second novel from this author, although it did take me slightly longer to be drawn into it unlike The Girl Before, but after as the story picked up I couldn’t stop listening. Well worth the patience. Will go on and get the next one.

Brilliant till the end

Great story. Brilliant narration. Excellent finish. I think I’m great at these who done it and what happened. But alas, this had me listening intently for hours. Now off to purchase another book!!!
