Summary

A gripping psychological thriller with a heart-pounding twist

She lied to her daughter to save her family. 

Everyone knows Leona would do anything for her daughter Beth: she moved to Church Langdon to send Beth to the best school, worked hard to build a successful business to support them and found them the perfect little cottage to call home. Leona and Beth hike together, shop together, share their hopes and fears with one another. People say they’re more like best friends than mother and daughter. 

It’s the relationship every mother dreams of. 

But their closeness means that Beth struggles to make friends. Her mother has kept her sheltered from the world. She’s more reliant on her mother’s love. More vulnerable. 

When Beth finds an envelope hidden under the floorboards of their home, the contents make her heart stop. Everything she thought she knew about her mother is a lie. And she realises there is no one she can turn to for help. 

What if you’ve been protected from strangers your whole life, but the one person you can’t trust is the person closest to home? 

What She Saw is a gripping psychological thriller with an incredible twist that will make your jaw drop. If you love The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl, or anything by B. A. Paris you’ll be consumed by this.

Gripping

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It had me gripped from the first couple of chapters and when I wasn't listening to it, I was thinking about what the next plot twist was going to be and looked forward to my next listening opportunity.

Not a bad story, if I'd read it

I nearly gave up on this so many times, due to the awful narration. There was about as much feeling as a robot and, like one of the other reviewers pointed out, over-observance of commas so that there was no flow - it just sounded so stilted with those annoying pauses after "and".

The story itself was good except for the over-abundance of tears throughout. There didn't seem to be a chapter where somebody wasn't sobbing, eyes filling with tears, eyes pricking with tears.

Over dramatic complicated nonsense

Sometimes less plot is most definitely more. Why does it need to be so complicated? 1 or 2 twists ....fair enough but when it gets too many l just lose interest. Some of the writing was so amateurish and made me cringe in places. The narrator had no 'soft subdued' mode. It was like so many audible these days loud sharp with no feeling.

Great listen!

Really enjoyed it and was even more happy with it when the author didn’t feel the need to add a ridiculous twist at the end! I love it when authors tie up all their loose ends!

Borrrrring

Got to chapter 13 and could not take it anymore, was pleased to be able to return for credit. I like a bit of suspense, but absolutely nothing had happened, it was all just padding. Found myself switching off in irritation. We were promised a twist, but to twist the story, you need a story in the first place. I will never know What She Saw, but frankly, life is too short to wait around to find out.

enjoyable read but a little too long

I really enjoyed the first Wendy Clarke book I read, (We were sisters) but I felt the pace of that was quicker. The reason I didn't give the book four stars is because- for me- it was a little too long at the beginning. The narrator is one of my favourites and she was - as always excellent.
