I was so looking forward to this one after loving the author's previous novel (In the Clearing) and seeing quite a lot of positive reviews. Margot's clients lie to her, but one lie cost her family and her freedom. That's when she slams into him and he falls in front of the train. He is looking down at his phone as the train approaches. One morning Margot approaches one of her clients on a busy train platform. Psychologist Margot has a picture-perfect life: a nice house in the suburbs, a husband, two children and a successful career. It was okay, but you might find it satisfies just fine. They’re all trying to be the next Gone Girl and knowing ahead of time there’ll be a twist in the end is pretty much of a built-in spoiler, isn’t it? Three stars means I liked it. Particularly the ones from the last decade or so. I just knew all along I was being manipulated, just like so many of these books feel. So of course she’s having to duke it out with her own fascination with people who like harming others. She’s particularly interested in antisocial types, this head doctor of ours-psychopaths and narcissists without empathy. I read them because they’re ok for entertainment and as a way to keep myself from ruminating on useless thought patterns. I almost always know going in that I’ll feel let down by how predictable so much of it will be. These psychological thrillers coming out every week like newly sprouted mushrooms. I don’t really know what to say about these books. I'm so glad this didn't follow the ' gone girl, women in the.the couple at the.the wife that.' formula It was a bit more unique as far as today's domestic thrillers go.It was a pretty quick listen at 6 and some hrs - super glad I picked this.I am definitely going to look into the author's other books that are out and hope they're good as well. Other then that I enjoyed this audio version, the narrator did a great job- it is an Australian book so the narrator has that accent. I was a bit confused at a couple points and had to rewind to understand some minor points, also- and this is super petty, but there's a character whose name is July which, for some reason, didn't sit well with me- every time that character came up I found myself thinking about how ridiculous I thought it was- I know it's silly but it was a distraction. It was very well paced, not too predictable, and I was able to feel some empathy with some of the characters. This was an Audible Freebie and one of the best I've chosen.
