Publisher's Summary

"Twisty and totally unpredictable, Mad Love will have thriller fans raving. Brilliantly narrated by the incomparable Julia Whelan along with a full cast, Wendy Walker's dark and electrifying tale comes to life.” Mary Kubica, NYT best-selling author of Local Woman Missing

They were madly in love. The perfect couple.

That was the story everyone in South River believed...until Gin Talcott and Adam Archer are found shot in their bed.

Adam is dead at the scene. Gin is fighting for her life.

Detectives Greta Jessup and Finn Pate are assigned to the case. Greta has a long history with Gin’s first husband, Eddie, and is determined to protect his 18-year-old twins. Piper discovered the bodies. Daniel is missing—and so is Adam’s gun.

Shocking discoveries about Gin and Adam’s marriage quickly shine a bright light on the children—and their aunt Ruth Talcott, who has her own secrets.

The one person who might know the truth is local estate attorney Sarah Branford. Gin left a letter for her two days before the shooting which Sarah now opens:

Dear Sarah, If you’re reading this, there’s a story I need to tell you. It begins and ends with Adam. I will never forgive myself for what I’ve done....

The evidence twists and turns until the shocking truth about the Talcott family—and the killer—is finally revealed.

Available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Suspenseful and exciting.

A wonderfully written suspenseful story. Who killed them? I found myself listening to the story trying to figure out who did it. It was quite a surprise at the end and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Not very believable

Quite predictable, no real character development. I didn't care for the lack of narration it took away from the development of the story and made it feel very forced and corny. It was worth finishing and I enjoyed it enough as included with subscription but would have been disappointed had I used a credit on it. Just wouldn't recommend to a friend nor listen again.

Excellent Performances.

Even women with brains can get carried away with Emotions. There’s evidence of that all through history, and it makes for a good soapy crime drama without the superfluous sexy scenes we don’t need. So well performed by all - sound effects subtle but atmospheric. Decent story, a good little escape!

Entertaining and Disturbing in good way

Just listened to this all in one go, I'm liking the cast performance audiobook style more and more, this one is well done. The story is also good, keeps you guessing even when you think you have it figured out. And for anyone who thinks people like the evil mastermind/villain in this story do not exist? They absolutely do, I escaped my own version of them over a decade ago and lots in this story resonated with my experience.

Check this one out, it's short and sweet yet entertaining and chilling in a good way if you're looking for a thriller that keeps you guessing!

Voice acting and story were great.

Gave me chills twice. Really liked the voice acting and how the story didn’t feel rushed or dragged.

Women are smarter than this

The excuse for every bad decision in life was passion as if women have zero control over their passions. Please give women a brain and expect them to use them.
