About this listen

Brace yourself for the latest gripping thriller from Sarah Richards, the bestselling author behind Audible hits China White and Born Winners. The Worst of You is a twisted tale full of mysteries that only grow more intense with each thrilling reveal, keeping you guessing until the shocking conclusion. Masterfully narrated by Sarah Desjardins (Yellowjackets), this immersive audiobook will have you captivated from start to finish.

In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.

A lot of thought went into the structure but the plot and characters weren’t developed so the ending felt cheated and ludicrous. Given this was written for Audible, not sure why it stipulated Welsh accents. The narrator didn’t have a chance and in the end opted for “generic British” , whatever that might be.

Fine but forgettable thriller

Really interesting story - was gripped by the plot and characters. Would recommend. I appreciated the character development and ways it all intertwined

What a plot twist +++

This is a good story with plenty of twists and turns. Not particularly well crafted but still a good story. The characterisation is strange, the physical descriptions are highly detailed. The issue is you really do not care about them, you do not feel their motivations or what they think. It is hard to get invested in two dimensional characters.

A good idea but..

Enjoyed the story but American actors don’t even try to attempt a Welsh accent. It’s just an English accent. Scottish accents are just Irish . Maybe that’s ok for US listeners but it really grates if you’re from this side of the Atlantic. Plain lazy.

Very poor Welsh accent

Great narrator and great story line. A bit different from the norm, took a little while to connect the different characters to the different stories but with the set out of the chapters it all worked perfectly. I enjoyed listening.

Nicely different

Really good yarn, many twists and turns in the story, good characterisation. Welsh accents are difficult, the curator probably should have just stuck with a middle class UK accent.

Great story, Welsh accent was pretty dodgy.
