I love a good audiobook and this one is up there for me in terms of entertainment.
Narrated by a full cast with music, mixed media such as news reports and online chat comments, I was enthralled from the beginning.
Effie and Ben May have just moved to the gated community of Ivy Oaks. The two are married but also have their own little games they like to play. They seduce married couples in order to scam them, usually out of money, then move on to find their next mark.
They have one rule "No lies, no ties" but when they beginning to lose focus and start turning on each other, what will happen in this cat and mouse game?
This was a bit of a slow starter for me but when the scene was set, I found it hard to stop listening. Ben was a character I loved to hate and Dan Stevens voice was perfect to bring him to life. Billie Piper's Effie was just as good. The whole cast were fantastic.
The twists and turns throughout kept my interest and I thought the ending and epilogue tied it together perfectly. Highly recommend!
