My Version

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Every marriage has its secrets. Margot Bennett finds other people's for a living. She's the one they bring in when two people tell two different stories about the same thing; the quiet expert who reads both versions and decides which one the record will keep. She is calm, exact, and very good at her work. She has always been good at staying calm. Now her own marriage is ending, and her husband Daniel has started lowering his voice on the phone. Stepping into the other room. Keeping the kind of secrets Margot knows intimately, because reading them is her whole profession. So, she does the only thing she knows how to do with a thing she can't bear to feel: she investigates it. She clears the kitchen table, she opens a blank file, and she begins, methodically, to find out who her husband has been meeting — building the case against her own marriage the way she'd build it against a stranger, one careful fact at a time. She's certain she knows what she's looking for. She has no idea how far it goes. Every answer she uncovers only opens a darker question, and the deeper Margot digs into the quiet, careful life she thought she was living, the more she realizes how much can hide inside a marriage — and how dangerous it is to be the one who insists on the truth. Some people keep secrets. Margot Bennett is about to learn what hers have cost.
