Story
Twenty years ago, Dennis Danson was arrested and imprisoned for the brutal murder of a young girl. Now he's the subject of a true-crime documentary that's whipping up a frenzy online to uncover the truth and free a man who has been wrongly convicted. A thousand miles away in England, Samantha is obsessed with Dennis's case. She exchanges letters with him, and is quickly won over by his apparent charm and kindness to her. Soon she has left her old life behind to marry him and campaign for his release. When the campaign is successful and Dennis is freed, however, Sam begins to discover new details that suggest he may not be quite so innocent after all. But how do you confront your husband when you don't want to know the truth? The winner of the Daily Mail First Novel Competition, Amy Lloyd's The Innocent Wife is gripping psychological suspense from a brilliant new voice in crime fiction.

Story
On the morning of April 29, 1986, a fire alarm sounded in the Los Angeles Public Library. As the moments passed, the patrons and staff who had cleared out of the building realized this was not the usual false alarm. As one fireman recounted later, “Once that first stack got going, it was good-bye, Charlie.” The fire was disastrous: It reached 2,000 degrees and burned for more than seven hours. By the time it was extinguished, it had consumed 400,000 books and damaged 700,000 more.

Story
Ursa possesses a very special gift. She can travel through memory and revisit her past. After she flees her hometown for the counterculture glory of 1950s California, the intoxicating potential of her unique ability eventually draws a group of women into her orbit and into a ramshackle Victorian mansion in the woods outside Santa Cruz. Yet Ursa’s powers come with a cost. Soon this cultish community of sisterhood takes an ominous turn, prompting her son, Ray, and his pregnant lover, Cherry, to flee their home for Los Angeles and reinvent themselves far from Ursa’s insidious influence.

Publisher's Summary
The ornate reading room at the Boston Public Library is quiet—until the tranquility is shattered by a woman's terrified scream. Security guards take charge immediately, instructing everyone inside to stay put until the threat is identified and contained. While they wait for the all-clear, four strangers, who'd happened to sit at the same table, pass the time in conversation, and friendships are struck. Each has his or her own reasons for being in the reading room that morning—it just happens that one is a murderer.
Award-winning author Sulari Gentill delivers a sharply thrilling listen with this unexpectedly twisty literary adventure that examines the complicated nature of friendship and reveals that words can be the most treacherous weapons of all.

Book Inception
I loved how it was a book within a book within a book. It was a super interesting concept that I’ve never read before. I loved all of the twists and turns but the ending could have been better.

Fun double plot line book
Im a pretty casual reader/listener so note I’m no literary expert.
I found this book entertaining, keeping me guessing and wanting more.
The narrator did a great job and had a wonderful cadence.
I really loved this book.

I wasn’t convinced when I listened to the sample but a friend had recommended this book. Once I started listening to it I was hooked. I loved the storey line and the narration.

Meh
The narrator is great in this book but the story was not as good. The author jokes about all stories being a romance in disguise and that’s pretty much what this is, I wanted a thriller so I wasn’t impressed.

A fun listen that will keep you guessing!
I couldn't put this one down and loved the "story within the story" framework! At first I couldn't differentiate between some of the male and female characters because the narrator's voice didn't change much, but once I got going, I was able to figure it out. I love a good whodunit and this one was uniquely plotted to keep me interested in two stories simultaneously. Great fun!

Disappointed
This was a confusing listen. It was very difficult trying to follow who the main character was. Was she real or a character in a book, if she was a character who was the writer? The connection to the person in Australia made no sense and the ending in the elevator was just as confusing. I liked the mystery and trying to determine the killer as well as the relationship between the friends but in the end it was deeply disappointing.
