Author: Amanda Robson
Narrators: Abby Costello and Matt Addis
My Darling is an excellent domestic thriller. A couple, Jade and Thomas, move in across the street from Emma. Alastair is Emma’s boyfriend. Jade is convinced Thomas is having an affair with Emma. Jade plans to solve this on her own. The amount of drama between these two couples is crazy and so interesting. Once you start reading, you won’t want to put down My Darling.
My Darling is dark and twisted. None of the characters can be trusted. I loved My Darling but didn’t actually like any of the characters.
Laura Costello and Matt Adis did a great job narrating. Their voices really matched with the characters. I’m really glad I listened to the audiobook. In the beginning of My Darling, all of the characters are introduced fast and it switches between their different viewpoints, which was confusing at first. Once I got a little bit into the book I knew who all the characters were and I really enjoyed the different viewpoints.
This was my first Amanda Robson book, but definitely will not be my last. I recommend My Darling to domestic thriller fans.
Thank you NetGalley, Avon Books UK and Harper Collins Audio UK for My Darling.
