About this listen

Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer.

A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Maureen loves her sister, but when Audrey's criminal past catches up to them both, she will have to make some difficult decisions about the limits of family loyalty - and just how far sisters are willing to go to protect each other...

What a twist!!

Not that I am surprised as Caroline Overington always writes brilliant stories but I think she has surpassed herself with this story of the impact of abuse and neglect and how they manifest. Beautiful segway into the tipping point and thorough research into the terrible impact of childhood trauma. I was riveted by the story. Excellent.

Reads beautifully

This book had me hooked from the very beginning until the very end. It’s so well written! It will keep you guessing what detail is relevant or not.

Familiar

Apart from the ending, this story is very similar to a real person and her cons.

A great plot, and a surprising ending.

A well written story that kept me interested throughout. I didn’t figure out the ending until it was almost over. It was hard to listen to the live-in boyfriend, but sadly too many relationships are disfunctional in this way.

The voice performance was excellent

I got this because the reviews mentioned the voice performance and because it was free. I loved it. It is not booker prize worthy but the tale was engaging and I did not foresee the conclusion. But as an avid reader, I would 100% recommend audible for this. The chick reading it deserves an award.
