About this listen

THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER

A Divorced Woman. A Dangerous Man. A Devastating Affair.

‘You’re right. It is totally extraordinary. My life is like a film; you couldn’t make it up … But there’s something I have to tell you,’ he confided, as he leaned across the table towards me. ‘I’m not normal.’

Carolyn Woods was living happily in a quiet Cotswolds village when an attractive stranger abruptly arrived in her life.

Introducing himself as Mark Conway, he exuded confidence and to her surprise Carolyn quickly became captivated by this mysterious man. A rich Swiss banker (who later confessed to being a spy), he offered Carolyn companionship and introduced her to an exciting, glamorous world.

In fact, some things were so astonishing she began to question her new lover. Was all as it seemed?

The truth was even harder to believe. For a start, his real name was Mark Acklom, he was wanted by Interpol, and he was rich but for one reason only…

A true-crime story that reads like a thriller, Sleeping with a Psychopath is a blow-by-blow account of the power of manipulation and a testament to the human will to survive.

It started off interesting but I struggled to finish it. It became repetative and annoying

Good start

I found the story riveting, and was amazed at the author’s bravery and courage to tell it so honestly and this book hopefully will help others heal from coercive relationships. The only downside for me was the narrator, who sounded more apt for reading a biography of Thatcher or something. The story was enough to keep me listening though, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Riveting, brave story

It took me a while to get into this story but once I was fully immersed and engaged with her story, I couldn’t stop listening! I had to hear that she became happy again! Great book, harrowing story. Well worth a listen. 😁

What a brave woman!

This author, describes psychopathy and refers to texts , Ronson, Hare - she seems more of a psychopath than the villain of the piece. He's a con man and she fell for his ruse, I don't really get what was illegal, if she's silly enough to lend him 800 grand ? She just sounds completely self obsessed, It would be interesting to hear his side of the story

Interesting read,

So sad to read what this man has put people through. The money is one side but the emotional cruelty is so much more.
I have suffered similar difficulties but it made me better, stronger and my value for life is so different now. My pets, the world around me, human kindness are all so much more valuable than money. Never, ever give up - you have so much even when you have nothing.

Shocking

Loved it!

I was familiar with this story from the press and also the documentary. It is a truly awful series of events and I am sure like most people reading it I was shouting NOOOOO at the author. It is easy to see from the outside the flaws in stories Carolyn is being told but caught in the middle of it I imagine it is easy to be manipulated by a psychopath. Carolyn tells her story with honesty and bravery I have seen her interviewed on TV and she is an intelligent and charming woman who had the most dreadful experience. The only issue I have is with the narrator her voice really grates and actually portrays Carolyn as very different to how she comes across in person. I wish someone different had been chosen as I think this would have really enhanced the experience of this book.

Moving account of a terrible situation
