THE WOMAN IN OUR MARRIAGE

Melanie Crawley and David Thorpe narrate this increasingly disturbing mystery rife with red herrings. Listeners meet Susanna and Matt, who are grieving over the loss of their infant when they hire Reka, a young Hungarian nanny, to care for their 4-year-old. From the audiobook's opening, an ongoing unease prevails. Crawley's Susanna sounds vulnerable, especially when she begins to wonder if something's going on between Matt and Reka. Matt, portrayed as calm and sensible by Thorpe, tries to reassure her. Susanna's best friend, Jess, who is also her therapist, further complicates matters. Jess is Crawley's stand-out character. After a senseless murder, listeners are kept even more off- balance by the complicated relationships and suspicions. Audio ideally conveys this conversation-rich mystery.
