There are three sides to every story: Yours. Mine. And the truth...

Max and Alissa have a fairy tale life - newlywed, madly in love and enviously rich. Then Max is brutally stabbed to death at their home and Alissa, miraculously, escapes with her life. But why was she spared?

The hunt for the killer begins, uncovering a number of leads - was Max's incredible wealth the motive? Had his shady business practices finally caught up with him? Or was it a stalker with a dangerous obsession?

Devoted friends rally around gentle, sweet Alissa as she is left to mourn the loss of her husband and pick up her life. But not everyone is who they seem...Deep-rooted jealousies, secrets and twisted love lie just beneath the surface, and not all fairy tales have a happy ending.

Duplicity is a suspenseful thriller from the bestselling author of Look Behind You and Where the Memories Lie.

I got this audio book as a Daily Deal because every so often I'll see a genre that I'm not very familiar with and think 'Maybe I'm the type of person who enjoys Mystery Crime novels?' So as a side note, this is not a genre I'm very familiar with.

For the most part I really enjoyed this novel. It had interesting circumstances that went into the crime committed and gave a really great look into the killer's thoughts and background. Henrietta Meire did a great job with voicing the main female character and I even found her part humorous at times. I will say for the most part this isn't really a 'mystery' crime since the reader knows from the beginning who is to blame (though I will say that there was a twist at the end that I was not at all expecting!). The fun is really more in the sleuthing and finding out how it was done from either the killer's perspective or from detective's work. Overall not a bad introduction into crime novels.

I will say that there are some graphic scenes towards the beginning showing cruelty towards animals as well as domestic and child abuse so if you're more sensitive to that material you may want to consider before you buy. Once you get past those scenes at the beginning though the book moves on to focus on the main crime and its circumstances.

So I thought I had this all figured out but surprise the end had a twist, great end to what I thought would be a predictable ending.

Surprise

I sometimes try a book by a new author on the 'daily deal', and this was one of them. If it isn't good I won't have lost much, right?
I got my money's worth on this one. A little confusing at the start as two very different stories unfold, but stick with it, they will come together later.
Betcha won't guess the ending.
Betcha that while you are listening, you will think that you HAVE guessed the ending.
Bethcha that you'll be wrong.
I'll be looking for another thriller by this author.

Betcha don't guess the end

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.
A rich newlywed husband is found stabbed to death in his home. His beautiful wife manages to flee naked to a neighbor's house. All signs point to the wife's jilted lover. Detective Sergeant Warren Carter is assigned to the case. Carter is recently widowed, has been passed over for a promotion he hoped for, and believes he sees the answer to the mystery if his newly promoted superior will get out of the way.

Hodge sets up an interesting story working with two narrators switching from chapter to chapter. One thread gradually peels apart the murderer's story and true motives while Carter describes his own investigation in a book that has more than one surprising twist. She's able to keep the second narrator's identity a secret through most of the book and still manages a surprise at the end.

It's an interesting look at a troubled life running parallel to Carter's story of working within a difficult bureaucracy that tends to bend to the demands of the upper class. If there's a fault in the book it may be that she gives Carter too many issues to deal with. For the first part of the 20th century most fictional detectives were single loners working with a few select associates, or totally alone in the noir detective era. They were motivated by an interest in puzzles and a dedication to truth. These days it seems you can't be a detective unless you've been through a trauma with a wife, husband, or child to motivate the search for justice. The new detectives are driven almost as much by revenge as through any thought of justice or an ordered society.

That aside, Carter is likeable and knows the truth if the job will let him expose it and, troubled childhood or not, the killer is completely unsympathetic. The ultimate solution is an interesting surprise in all the different zigzags the story takes. It's also nice to have multiple narrators and not one of them changes their story for a surprise reveal at the end. A satisfying book in almost every way.

This just wasn't one of my favorites. Had a hard time getting into this book. I did like the ending and the twist at the end.

Not great

I enjoyed this book and thought it was very interesting, the story is told in 3 parts and. the 1st part was quite confronting, the middle was a bit mundane and the 3rd part was reviling. and I enjoyed all 3 parts and the change in pace kept my attention, I thought the narration was good too and I would be happy to recommend this book as a good read with an unusual plot that may be a little hard to swallow but is still enjoyable.

A Good Read

I worried in the beginning through some of the back and forth Police procedural parts that I may have made a mistake with this book, but I'm very glad I stayed with it.
It just gets better and better.

It gets better...
