About this listen

Darby Kane, author of the #1 international bestseller Pretty Little Wife, returns with another twisty domestic thriller about a wife wondering who tried to kill her husband twice before finally succeeding… because that was supposed to be her job.

Dr. Richmond Dougherty is a renowned pediatric surgeon, an infamous tragedy survivor, and a national hero. He’s also very dead—thanks to a fall down the stairs. His neighbors angrily point a finger at the newest Ms. Dougherty, Addison. The sudden marriage to the mysterious young woman only lasted ninety-seven days, and he’d had two suspicious “accidents” during that time. Now Addison is a very rich widow.

As law enforcement starts to circle in on Addison and people in town become increasingly hostile, sides are chosen with Kathryn, Richmond’s high school sweetheart, wife number one, and the mother of his children, leading the fray. Despite rising tensions, Addison is even more driven to forge ahead on the path she charted years ago…

Determined at all costs to unravel Richmond’s legacy, she soon becomes a target—with a shocking note left on her bedroom wall: You will pay. But it will take a lot more than faceless threats to stop Addison. Her plan to marry Richmond then ruin him may have been derailed by his unexpected death, but she’s not done with him yet.

Loved it!

Held my interest right away, and the multiple plot twists were surprisingly unique, I didn't see them coming. Kind of darkish at times but not overly so. Perfect narration.

Always surprising

Well delivered audio performance and the story always had a new surprise. Very succinct in the plot and always moving. Enjoyed the cadence of reveals and would recommend for anyone wanting a quick suspense.

Damn. That ending!

The first sentence got my attention and the last line - damn. Just when i thought i knew the shocking twist i realized it is much, much more shocking and twisty. This was such a great story and it kept me guessing. Loved Addison. Would love a sequel to find out what happens next for her…
