Summary

The last man I dated... ended up dead.

Jen is a normal, single woman living in a big city. By day, she's a receptionist and by night, she goes on dates. Lots of dates. Because Jen knows if she is going to find true love, it's a numbers game.

All of Jen's dates end with the same crushing sense of disappointment and she finds herself silently uttering those five familiar words: 'It's not me, it's you.'

But now it seems Jen is more than just unlucky in love. The police have knocked on her door with some questions for her.

The last five people she went on dates with have been murdered. And Jen is their prime suspect.

As she fights desperately to prove her innocence, she must ask herself, who would have a motive to kill those five people? And if the only thing connecting them is her, will she be next?

An absolutely gripping and addictive psychological thriller with a killer twist you won't see coming. Fans of K.L Slater, Sue Watson and Netflix's You will be totally hooked from the first page until the final, breath-taking conclusion.

Narration great - the clues were too obvious

Promising storyline but the clues were obvious meaning the killer was obvious, the only reason the motive wasn’t predicable was because it was totally far fetched. The narrator was great though in acting out each character, so it was still an engaging listen. Glad I bought it on sale rather than using a full credit though

Gripping stuff!

Liked creepy Bob, some of Jen’s actions were on the edge of unlikely but a good yarn

Most unexpected

Nice story. Able to capture the silly decisions young people make very aptly. I was happy not to have guessed where the story was heading from chapter one. She actually took her time to put good twists in the story.
The narrator was really good. Found myself smiling at the oh so normal expressions of “obviously “ or “ of course” What a gem.

Really enjoyable - kept me guessing

Loved this - kept me guessing throughout as there were several possible suspects. The voice actor was likeable and the story flowed. I enjoyed that the main character was relatable (as frustrating as some of her decisions were). Yes, she seems wilfully ignorant of several of her acquaintances’ flaws, but I think this is actually (sadly) quite true to life of a young 20-something in lust. A deeper backstory is present throughout too, giving the whole thing a rounded feel. Enjoyed!

Mrs. McCormack loved this!

A fantastic choice of narrator for this great story gives it a truly authentic 'Northern' feel. I enjoyed all of the references to creativity, art and gallery visits. I'm looking forward to reading more from Charlotte Bigland.

A Good Listen

This was a good story - the red herrings were plentiful. A frustratingly annoying character. I read/listen to a lot of who-dun-nits and can usually call it - in this case I called it then kept second guessing throughout. A good yarn, well done.

Author & Narrator create incredible world

This is the type of audiobook you just disappear into and come up for air at the end, knowing the characters and world will stay with you.

There’s something about being a northerner in London that’s quite hard to explain, and Charlotte Bigland does this perfectly, WHILST creating a slowly boiling thriller.

Rebecca Tebbett narrates the protagonists and all the potential antagonists with unbelievable skill. I often hesitate to listen to fiction on audiobook, because so much lies on the narrator’s ability. Tebbett gives you absolutely nothing to worry about.

I think making a thriller/crime novel funny, relevant and modern is no mean feat - and It’s Not Me It’s You has succeeded beautifully.

Great debut novel

Very well written novel. Although not exactly what I usually listen to it was engaging, entertaining and a great change. The characters are believable and relatable.

I really liked the local and cultural references and thought that the narrator was perfect in bringing the book to life.

All in all would highly recommend and I am looking forward to the next book.

Teesside on tour

Great story, keeps you gripped throughout, helped along hugely by the lovely northern tones of the narrator. I look forward to hearing more from this voice over artist!
