Everything You Told Me

Length: 9 hrs and 50 mins

Publisher's summary

An opening chapter you won't stop talking about. The twisty, gripping psychological thriller you won't be able to pause.

You went to bed at home, just like every other night.

You woke up in the back of a taxi, over 250 miles away.

You have no idea how you got there and no memory of the last 10 hours. You have no phone, no money, just a suicide note in your coat pocket, in your own writing.

You know you weren't planning to kill yourself. Your family and friends think you are lying. Someone knows exactly what happened to you. But they're not telling....

"Gripping.... surprises at every turn." ( The Daily Mail)
"One chapter in and you’ll be hooked." ( Red Magazine)

Loved it!

The story was great, narrator was fantastic! This hooked me from the very first chapter.

WOW!

One of the best psychological thrillers I ever listened to. this book will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Slow,slow Sally

How dumb can you be. Everyone knows that the husband is always the first suspect. I got that during the wake up in the cab.
Sally runs around foolishly blame everyone except those closes to her.
She showed herself to look CRAZY. She is raging and breaking into her brother’s flat. She foolishly tells her mother-in law’s lie of counseling Kelly.
Where than chilling and watching everyone she runs head long into placing herself into mental facility.
She only found herself saved in Error.
She still protects Matthew in the end.

Great book

I really enjoyed this book. I didn't expect what happened, but loved the twist. I hope you enjoy.

Finished in two days...

I really enjoyed this book (and the narration) and never wanted to stop listening. I happened to have guessed some of the “twists” but the predictability didn’t detract from the story at all and would definitely recommend!

Saw it coming...Still entertained

Despite the fact that I figured out the "big plot twist" long before it happened, I was still entertained by the book overall. The narrator did an excellent job. The story was very engaging and realistic. I could imagine everything happening to me as the story unfolded. Definitely worth your time

Gaslighting: The Book

Turned out to be a better book than I initially thought. though plagued with that very annoying cliche of the protagonist knowingly making terrible decisions against theirs and others better judgement.

Had Difficulty Pushing Through to the End

Narration was fine and in general the plot was not bad. However, I figured out with about 3 hours to go who was ultimately responsible. That made it difficult to finish the book...as a matter of a fact, I skipped a couple of chapters just to get to the end.

I think, I was most frustrated that she just could not put two and two together. I just wanted to scream at the main character. I would get annoyed and stop listening for a couple of days. The foreshadowing happened way too early in the book, and it was too much. There was a small twist at the end, but not enough to redeem the writing.

It's hard to believe anybody!

Any additional comments?

Engrossing - I could not stop until it was done. How did Sally get in the cab and on the cliffs at Cornwall? Who hates her and wants to ruin her life? Everyone and no one is suspect. I will admit that I did not like Sally. She really was too dumb to breathe. I thought her parenting skills were stupid. She let two children rule her life. I never did figure what "sleep training" was for the baby, Theo, and why she did not just go ahead and train the baby instead of having to wait a month. She seemed to run her husband ragged and acted as if she were the only woman in the world to have two children to take care of. Good grief, she was a stay at home mom. Surely she could have managed better than she did. But I still felt bad for her because of the cab to Cornwall incident and no one believing she was NOT lying and was not trying to kill herself. I also felt sorry for Sally because her brother was marrying a real witch. I was frustrated for Sally because she was so mistreated by others..

I was kept guessing from beginning to the end. I kind of thought who might be the villain and I was almost right. This is not great literature, but it is an engrossing and entertaining story. The narrator was very good and I liked her accent and the British phrases she read.

Nice little psycho drama

Here's your chance to feel fear, frustration, anger, and hope. Just enjoy the ride!
