Summary

My wife is dead. No one believes that I’m innocent — and honestly, if I were them, I wouldn’t either. Everything you ever read, anything that makes the news? It’s always the husband.

Beautiful, bright-eyed Michelle Jackson, a loving wife and mother, has been killed. Her husband Paul is accused of murdering her. Their little girl Emily, numb with grief, is refusing to speak. You’ll hate Paul for what he’s done.

Everyone said they were the perfect couple, always holding hands. They did everything together. But when you hear about their whispered arguments and the terrible lies they both told, you’ll be certain Paul is guilty.

But everything you think you know is wrong. After all, behind closed doors every marriage has secrets. And some are deadlier than others…

Excellent

Really loved the story. But the voices where sometimes confusing as there wasn’t much difference in the men’s voice to women’s voice. There was also an eco sounds on some of the story but overall very enjoyable
Cannot find out if it fact or fiction

What a fabulous book!

This book was AMAZING!. I seriously could not stop listening to it. So well written and unusual to hear about domestic abuse in reverse, what an eye opener and a twist at the end... Loved it

Gripped from the first few minutes

Brilliant narration and a fast paced, absorbing story. Food for thought as well as a roller-coaster of a listen

the main behind Closed doors

absolutely brilliant I absolutely loved first class in every way, wow just wow I do however think that there is a big difference between men and women in these situations and the law needs to change because this is real and men are being abused and its not fair why should it be any different

Brilliant listen

I have listened to audio for years, this challenged so many issues in a different way, and highlighted what happens to men in the same same way as women but they don’t speak up! It was a written in a cleaver non preachy tone that told a deep story that remains hidden in people’s lives. There are twists and perspectives being challenged throughout. I highly recommend this book . ❤️

Based in York?

Enjoyed the book, interesting perspective and the narration was good. However, being from York and within walking distance of the museum gardens, I’m not sure why the main characters all appear to have Geordie accents, sounding like “Lewis” rather than having a Yorkshire accent, personally I would rather hear no accent than the wrong accent.

A gripping tragic story

A beautifully written tale that bravely tackles a very difficult subject and lays bare the frailty of the human condition.
The narrator deftly draws you into the tumultuous life of a couple in distress and really brings the story to life. He allows you to live through their trauma while allowing hope for a better future. I couldn't put the book down once I started listening!
Very thought provoking. It uncovers a world too little discussed and understood. I wholeheartedly recommend this book.
