About this listen
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
Another thrilling domestic suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Couple Next Door and Not a Happy Family
“The End of Her will keep you guessing right up to the end . . . once you pick it up, you will not want to put it down.”—USA Today
"[Shari Lapena is] the queen of the one-sit read"—Linwood Barclay
A long-ago accident—and a visitor from out of the blue. . .
Stephanie and Patrick are adjusting to life with their colicky twin girls. The babies are a handful, but even as Stephanie struggles with the disorientation of sleep deprivation, there's one thing she's sure of: she has all she ever wanted.
Then Erica, a woman from Patrick's past, appears and makes a disturbing accusation. Patrick had always said his first wife's death was an accident, but now Erica claims it was murder.
Patrick insists he's innocent, that this is nothing but a blackmail attempt. Still, Erica knows things about Patrick—things that make Stephanie begin to question her husband. Stephanie isn't sure what, or who, to believe. As Stephanie's trust in Patrick begins to falter, Patrick stands to lose everything. Is Patrick telling the truth—is Erica the persuasive liar Patrick says she is? Or has Stephanie made a terrible mistake?
How will it end?

Story
"This is a very difficult letter to write. I hope you will not hate us too much.... My son broke into your home recently while you were out." In a quiet, leafy suburb in upstate New York, a teenager has been sneaking into houses - and into the owners' computers as well - learning their secrets, and maybe sharing some of them, too. Who is he, and what might he have uncovered? After two anonymous letters are received, whispers start to circulate, and suspicion mounts. And when a woman down the street is found murdered, the tension reaches the breaking point.

Story
You're home making dinner for your husband. You expect him any second. The phone rings - it's the call you hoped you'd never get. You jump in your car and race to a neighborhood you thought you'd never visit. You peer into the dark, deserted building. You brace yourself for the worst. And then, you remember nothing else. They tell your husband you've been in an accident. You lost control of your car as you sped through the worst side of town. The police suspect you were up to no good. But your husband refuses to believe it.

It's winter in the Catskills and Mitchell's Inn, nestled deep in the woods, is the perfect setting for a relaxing—maybe even romantic—weekend away. So when the weather takes a turn for the worse, and a blizzard cuts off the electricity—and all contact with the outside world—the guests settle in and try to make the best of it. Soon, though, one of the guests turns up dead—it looks like an accident. But when a second guest dies, they start to panic. Within the snowed-in paradise, something—or someone—is picking off the guests one by one.

Predictable
Not the riveting, nail biting thriller I was expecting. Story line was very predictable and POV’s all over the place which made it sometimes confusing. It kept my attention but was not overly impressed.

weak characters
Characters were not believable. The amount of blackmailing that took place and not dealt with was frustrating. The storyline s were too unrealistic and some were irrelevant. I didn't mind listening to the book, but I could have made a better choice!

The End of Her
A good read filled with mystery, love, suspense and deceit. Set in normal circumstances it goes to show you never really know your partner. The ending left me wanting more, so I long hopefully for part 2.

Thrillerish
To be honest I didn’t love the narration, particularly the male voices, but that’s just me. With that being said it grew on me. I enjoyed the stories twists and turns and the end is definitely a good surprise. However, at times felt drawn out. If you like a mild thriller/mystery it’s a good pick!

Definitely worth the credit
Finished this one a while ago but for some reason haven't reviewed it here.
Very suspenseful, smart, drew me in instantly and I couldn't put it down. Loved almost everything about this book, but the end was a little underwhelming and lacked some catharsis for me.
The only thing that doesn't make any sense to me is how come the rich couple couldn't afford some help with their twins. They are so sleep deprived, cannot funcfion, work, they are totally miserable for months and nobody thought of hiring a nanny for a few hours a day, not to mention we are talking TWINS. I don't know why it bothered me so much....I guess it made the story less credible.
Despite this, I highly recommend this title, enjoyable and the narration is top notch!
