About this listen

The perfect boyfriend...or the perfect liar? Should Have Known Better is the tense new psychological thriller by A J McDine.

It’s the moment single-mum Kate has been dreading. With her only daughter, Chloe, about to leave home, she’s terrified by the prospect of an empty nest. That is until she meets charming lawyer Adam. He could be the perfect catch - if it wasn’t for his clingy son.

Because Ben has a crush on Chloe. A crush that is fast becoming an obsession. Flattered by the attention, Chloe is happy to string him along - for now at least. But Kate can see the danger signs, even if her daughter can't. And when Chloe’s life begins spiralling out of control, Kate must make a choice - trust her instincts or lose her daughter forever....

Great listen!

Loved the narrator. It was kind of easy to figure out the story line but it definitely kept me interested. The ending was great. Everything neatly tied together leaving you imagining what might happens next in a good way.

Great story

The story was just suspenseful enough without being too scary or graphic. The narrator did a great job. I will definitely listen to it again!

Predictable

The story was predictable and early on you can tell what was happening. Ending was good for the story but I wouldn’t read again. Just something to fill the void of the workday.

Not bad but…

If you have ever been roofied and raped, stay far away from this book. The description of the girl’s remembrance is frighteningly, accurate and If you have ever been triggered and don’t want to go there again, this is not the book for you.

Realistically written

While one of the themes in this novel is difficult to hear, it was well written and narrated, and an unexpected surprise. This is the first book I have enjoyed from this author and will listen to more!

Just okay

I thought it was very predictable and not very in depth. I just prefer more detailed characters.
