The only obituary you never want to read – is your own.
Laura Swallow is dead. A life cut tragically short, says the newspaper obituary.But that’s a lie. Estate agent Laura did not die in a car accident. She is alive and well.At first, Laura thinks it’s a sick joke. But multiple announcements of her death are followed by increasingly sinister real-life events. Already fragile, struggling to recover from a recent divorce, Laura is plunged into a living nightmare. Who can she trust? Her new lover? Her clients and work colleagues? What about her ex-husband and his smug fiancée? Can Laura even rely on her best friends? And why is it that Laura’s present troubles are so tied up with her sister’s sudden death all those years ago?But one thing Laura is sure of – someone out there wants her to suffer. Wants her gone. Forever.
Gosh, the premise of this is terrifying! We go on such a journey of obsession and revenge! To find one day that your death has been announced on Facebook but yet you are still breathing and very much alive and then there is the obituary in the paper and then a death certificate and it’s just crazy! Well welcome to Laura’s life! It’s happening to her after a panicked phone call from her daughter, and then her life spirals, spirals, spirals out of control.
The audiobook was great, and the narrator added depth to the book with the way they narrated the spiral of Laura’s life.
Laura did irritate me with her whining and not thinking through what was saying, accusing or her actions!! How she didn’t report anything to the police I will never know and the jumps she made didn’t always seem logical.
It’s not without its flaws but it has a dramatic ending, and it’s still an addictive read and a great sign of things to come with Miranda!
Until the next time xxx
