About this listen

If you love B A Paris' Behind Closed Doors and Linda Green's While My Eyes Were Closed, you will love Before I let You In, the brand-new novel from Jenny Blackhurst, the number one best-selling Kindle author of How I Lost You, which Clare Mackintosh called 'utterly gripping'.

If you don't know who is walking through the door, how do you know if you should let them in?

Karen is meant to be the one who fixes problems. It's her job as a psychiatrist - and it's always been her role as a friend. But Jessica is different. She should be the patient, the one Karen helps. But she knows things about Karen. Her friends, her personal life. Things no patient should know. And Karen is starting to wonder if she should have let her in.

Narration was very sloooow and for some reason, between chapters, there is an unusually lengthy silence??!

Brilliant absolutely gripping

This is my favourite genre so I am quite good at working the 'twist' out! However this is a very cleverly woven plot which takes some unraveling.
It was very entertaining my only criticism was the gap between chapters is so long I thought my device had crashed!

I listened to the end

What did you like most about Before I Let You In?

I kept listening to the end even though it was not my really my type of book. Anticipated what was the "twist".

Would you be willing to try another book from Jenny Blackhurst? Why or why not?

No

What aspect of Jennifer Ness’s performance might you have changed?

She sounded a bit like Dawn French at times.

Clever plot

Good story which moved with pace.

However, the massive over-use of emphasis was so distracting, indeed annoying. Almost every other word, often totally changing the meaning of the sentence from how I would have read it. And it never stopped - until the epilogue which was flattened: at last!!

The prose was good but as it was so oddly read, I skim-listened just to end the torture.

Will avoid this narrator but the story-teller is worth enjoying - I may actually read the next one!

Blah

The narrators voice was actually quite annoying and kinda put me off paying attention to what was being said. The story has a lot of twists and turns which is good but that's about it.

a little hard to follow

Well narrated but a bit difficult to follow. I may have been spoiled by recent audio books however.

Twists Galore

Plenty of intriguing twists involving some very interesting characters. Also nicely read like nearly all the Audible books.

reasonable story, ropey narration

The story is okay but it's really let down by the wooden narration. There is no change in tone between characters so you struggle to realise who's speaking. also her voice has an irritating smugness to it.
