Summary

Married couple Mark and Cecilia seem to have it all—looks, wealth, love. But behind closed doors, things are very different—they live in silent resentment, their marriage broken by the shattering loss of the child they so desperately wanted. Enter Alice: Mark’s idea of the perfect woman. She appears from nowhere and offers Mark the chance of a new life filled with love, passion, and, finally, the joys of parenthood—everything he’s ever dreamed of. But there’s a catch. Mark can’t leave Cecilia because she knows a dark secret from his past that would ruin him if it was revealed. And he’s sure she'd be more than happy to use it against him if he betrayed her.

Mark’s future with Alice seems doomed. But then one night, in a secluded cottage on the Dorset coast, they hatch an unspeakable plan that might bring devastating ruin...or life-long happiness. But who is Alice really? And can love ever begin with murder? The Woman on the Bench is a gripping psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Mark Edwards, K. L. Slater, and Daniel Hurst.

The narrative and the narrator were excellent. Could not stop listening to it with a brilliant ending.

I enjoyed the whole book and intend to read more of the author’s books..I also enjoyed the fact that the story was not too short.
