    About this audiobook

    Riveting and compulsive, national bestselling author Wendy Walker’s The Night Before “takes you to deep, dark places few thrillers dare to go” as two sisters uncover long-buried secrets when an internet date spirals out of control.

    Laura Lochner has never been lucky in love. She falls too hard and too fast, always choosing the wrong men. Devastated by the end of her last relationship, she fled her Wall Street job and New York City apartment for her sister’s home in the Connecticut suburb where they both grew up. Though still haunted by the tragedy that’s defined her entire life, Laura is determined to take one more chance on love with a man she’s met on an Internet dating site.

    Rosie Ferro has spent most of her life worrying about her troubled sister. Fearless but fragile, Laura has always walked an emotional tightrope, and Rosie has always been there to catch her. Laura’s return, under mysterious circumstances, has cast a shadow over Rosie’s peaceful life with her husband and young son – a shadow that grows darker as Laura leaves the house for her blind date.

    When Laura does not return home the following morning, Rosie fears the worst. She’s not responding to calls or texts, and she’s left no information about the man she planned to meet. As Rosie begins a desperate search to find her sister, she is not just worried about what this man might have done to Laura. She’s worried about what Laura may have done to him…

    Praise for The Night Before:

    "Wendy Walker proves her ingenuity with her latest hair-raising chiller. Teeming with taut writing, an abundance of jaw-dropping revelations, and Walker's uncanny insight into the dark side of human nature, The Night Before is irresistible." - Mary Kubica, bestselling author of The Good Girl

    "Pulse-pounding action makes you race to the finish of this addictive thriller...The writing sings, and the twists deliver." - Liv Constantine, bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish

      Narrator didn’t fit the character nor the vibe of the book so it was a bit difficult to listen to; ended up reading most, it not all of the book, on eBook
    • 3/5
      It was okay, an entertaining story, I would have liked more of an ending but overall it was worth listening too. I thought the narration was good, I just think the person who narrated Rosie should have done Laura and vice versa. Despite being cast incorrectly the narrators were very good.
    • 4/5
      the story was well written however, listening to the narrator was challenging to stay tuned.
    • 5/5
      The Night Before is a well plotted, suspenseful psychological thriller.
    • 5/5
      Loved this book, loved the story! Had a great twist.
    • 4/5
      Pretty Good. I am usually better at figuring out what will happen. Surprisingly, I did let out a few Oohs and Ohhhs and Noooos. Worth the time spent. A+
    • 4/5
      I really enjoyed the plot, twists and turns and the writing. It was superb. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that while I enjoyed the nararrator most of the time, listening to the changes for characters was painful. However most of the time it was great.
    • 3/5
      It was a decent Novel, I didn’t find it really exciting, I had a hard time staying in tune and found myself backtracking often
    • 5/5
      I loved it! A very quick seven hours! I highly recommend
