About this audiobook

A psychological thriller that pits a community against a man, and that man against himself. Joseph Lee lost his wife, the love of his life. She was slain in their home, right under his nose. As if the grief weren’t enough, Lee was also blamed for her murder. At the end of the day, the detectives didn’t have any proof that Lee was the murderer, but that didn’t stop the community from shunning him or his friends and family from cutting him out of their lives. They didn’t need proof, they said. Left to stew in his own self-loathing, a miserable existence of solitude and narcotics, Lee is alone with his regrets and his remorse. But his life is about to change—there is hope yet for this hopeless man. A beautiful woman who looks uncannily like his deceased wife moves into the vacant house across the road, sparking something in Joseph Lee that he thought was long dead. But after the light at the end of the tunnel, there is even more darkness for Lee. This beautiful lookalike, and the house she now calls home, are hiding terrible secrets that will unravel everything Lee thought he knew about himself, his neighbors, and his deceased wife.

    Good narration, good plot, but I'm not personally raving about it or aggressively recommending it to friends and fam. It was recommended to me under horror, I dont know if I'd call it full on horror, I'd categorize the plot more as suspenseful mysterious crime thriller.

    It was OK. There was a lot of buildup for a very little bit of action. I kept listening, hoping that there would be some crazy or intriguing twist. Never happened. The narrator was good, I’ve definitely heard worse!

    The second half is more thrilling than the first monotonous self pitying half. Lee uncovers unexpected discoveries of his life and new neighbors. Interesting as a storyline but it is too much of a coincidence as a man of the past returns for no reason.

    I loved it! I wasn't sure when I started as it was bit dark and depressing but it quickly escalated to light and enjoyable following the twist that didn't work out as planned so resulted in one more twist. There was parts that made me laugh loud. Good book, definitely a good book!

    The protagonist was kind of a jerk, but it was a good story and held my interest for the most part. It's the kind of book you listen to while you're looking for a really good book.

    In GoogleReads, there were alot of harsh reviews. I am not an avid reader but am finally getting into books more- at least pure pleasure. This story was slow to build but I believe it was for character development in detail. I agree with some of the comments on Google reads that the author kept referencing the main character by his last name and occasionally by his first, however all of the other characters were by first name mainly. It did make things a tad bit confusing at first. Also the climactic part was intense but somethings/actions didn't make sense. But one supposes that one wouldn't be thinking quite clearly in a similar situation. Anyway, once the climax was reached, it quickly transition to a whole new scene and life of the main character. Lastly, the lack of law authority arrival was left in question and wasn't spoken to. And the book cover image would suggest horror, but it's nothing of horror, just "Quentin Taratino" style gore description.
    Overall, I give a high 3, low 4; perhaps I'm still finding my writing style within the genre I like.

    I finished listening to it, but it wasn't particularly good. Too many 'coincidences' happened; just seemed like poor writing to me. Not very believable.

    Full of twists and turns you never expect, this tale takes you on a journey that is both dark and heart-warming. There are a few moments you hang languidly anticipating the action, but you are rewarded in the end. I would definitely watch it as a movie.

    This is the second worst book I’ve ever read. I only gave it one star because zero stars was not an option. Oh, and the reader was awful too.
