audiobook review

My newfound love and backlist consumption of Sally Hepworth's books led me to The Younger Wife. I'm thoroughly enjoying her family dramas with mysterious elements. I feel like they can be recommended to readers of a lot of genres. The topics are tough but important and likely relatable to many readers. 

This book may be a good fit if you enjoy:
- complex family dynamics
- wondering who to trust
- books about women overcoming obstacles

I enjoyed The Younger Wife, but I'm not obsessed like I was with Darling Girls and The Mother-In-Law. 😆 It's natural as we catch up on author's work that we will connect more with some than others. 

I always appreciate a full cast audiobook and plan to binge all of Hepworth's books on audio as I catch up. The narrators have been top notch! The stories are relatively straightforward, so I think they work well with this format. If you're looking to try mysteries on audio, her books could be a good place to start!

Rating: I liked it! (3.5)
