Summary

A red-hot, non-stop rollercoaster of a book’ – Lisa Jewell

What would you do if your husband framed you for murder?

Five years ago, Olivia Sutherland was convicted of plotting to murder her husband.

Now she’s finally free, Olivia has three goals. Repair her relationship with her daughter. Clear her name. And bring down her husband – the man who framed her.

Just how far is she willing to go to get what she wants? And how far will her husband go to stop her?

Because his lies run deeper than Olivia could ever have imagined – and this time it’s not her freedom that’s in jeopardy, but her life…

‘Shot through with a propulsive sense of gritty threat and high-stakes tension, this is bold, memorable, top-tier thriller writing.’ – bestselling author B P Walter

‘The Guilty Couple is a one-breath rollercoaster ride, with twists, turns, ups and downs… then just when you think it’s over, there’s another loop ahead! A proper, classy thriller.’ – Janice Hallett, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Appeal

‘CL Taylor has done it again. A fast paced, thrilling read that I couldn’t put down. I loved it!’ – bestselling author Heidi Perks

‘I loved The Guilty Couple so much. Twisty, compelling, tense and fast-paced and thoroughly unputdownable.’ – multimillion-copy bestselling author Angela Marsons

'Wow, The Guilty Couple doesn’t let up for a moment – you’re in for ride!' – bestselling author Sarah Pinborough

Twisty, taut, unbearably tense. Brava, C.L. Taylor, you’ve done it again!’ – bestselling author Emma Stonex

As 'The Guilty Couple' becomes a topic of conversation from New York to the UK, it’s clear this thrilling story of tangled family relationships is en route to winning awards and topping bestsellers charts. Its portrayal of divorce and the dark sides of domesticity is both riveting and award-worthy, solidifying its place among the great books of the year. For fans of Claire Douglas (The Woman Who Lied), Lisa Jewell (None of This is True), TM Logan (The Mother) and K.L. Slater (The Mother) and B.A. Paris (The Prisoner).

Wow! What a listen!

This is the first book I have read/listened to by this author. What a book, i couldn’t stop listening. The narration is excellent, and I will be looking for books narrated by this narrator. I’m off to look for my next book by this author. Highly recommended! ❤️

Not the best

The storyline was ok but a bit unrealistic and the voiceover with the different voices she adopted for the various characters were laughable and a bit irritating.

A simple story

Not gripping, but this left me wondering how it would end in spite of the narrator. She has a clear voice but the WHOLE story is read in an overly dramatic tone with abrupt sentences throughout even when the narrative did not need that. It became very annoying & I nearly gave it all up because of that.

Was bearable but that enjoyable

Got better towards the end, but I didn't care or find any of the characters likeable.
I have read many C.L.Taylor books and usually find them fantastic so I will still give her other work a chance.
Narrator was pleasant

go Liv!!

this book does not pretend to be clever or even very realistic. I mean, how could so much drama and disaster happen to one person?. But I loved all the evils and their comeuppance, I liked Liv who was an unusual heroine, and her journey was funho! go get'm Liv!
excellent narrator
