🎧ARC Review: The Guilty Couple by C.L. Taylor

My review: 3.75⭐

Olivia was convicted of a crime she says she did not commit. After 5 years in the slammer she’s released and out for revenge. Her husband, Dominic, had accused her and her lover, Jack, of conspiring to kill him and she says he’s framed her. Do we believe the cheating wife or the jilted husband? And where is Jack now to help shed light on the case?

It alternates between Olivia, Dominic (ex-husband) and Dani’s (detective) POV’s. I loved that for this one because it showed that there were plenty of secrets. There were some edge of my seat moments.

Olivia made a true friend in prison, Smithy. She was really there for her when she needed help to try to bring Dom down and prove she was set up. I didn’t care for Dani at all ~ she’s a little over ambitious being a detective and a person trainer, weird. Award goes to Dom for being the jerkiest of all jerks.

Narrated by Clare Corbett for 8 hours and 10 minutes, she did a pretty good job. I do wish there was a male narrator for Dom’s parts, but at least she didn’t even try to do his voice. Sweet spot was 1.75x for this one, my usual 2x didn’t work for this narrator.

Overall, I was pretty engrossed in the story throughout. If you enjoy a wrongfully convicted leading to a revenge plot story then give this one a try.
