About this listen

 ‘A sexy, sensational novel with intoxicating vengeance and an unexpected tenderness’ No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling author Karin Slaughter

A woman who has everything…

People would kill to have Faye Adelheim’s life. She lives in a beautiful apartment, she has a gorgeous husband who gives her everything she’s ever wanted, and she has an adorable daughter who lights up her world.

Or does she?

So how is it, then, that Faye now finds herself in a police station?

The truth is about to come out…

The truth is that Faye’s life is far from what it seems. And now she’s been caught out. There’s no way she’s going down without a fight. The only question is – who will escape with their life?

 Wonderful revenge thriller, suspenseful and satisfying. Can’t recommend this book and this author highly enough.

Excellent

great book

I was very disappointed with The Gilded Cage. As a big fan of Camilla Lackberg’s Erica Falck novels I am always looking for something new from her. This was a poor, thin plot and sadly, full of tedious sexual encounters described in detail. There was no tension or suspense and the plot twist comes in the last 2 minutes.

Not at all like original Camilla Lackberg Swedish crime books

The story itself wasn’t very enjoyable, I’m a Camilla fan and I’ve read loads of her books in Danish and the stories have been interesting, but this one seems too much about revenge and there is too much swearing in it, making it all sound too cheap. I’ve pretty much lost interest after the first few chapters.
I will finish it, but I also find one of the narrator’s voices annoying, there is a constant lip smacking and swallowing noise that is way too disrupting. Not to mention her inability to pronounce place names correctly. “Chamonix” (Sends shivers down my spine).

Too feminist and frustrating

Stunning narration brings spellbinding story so beautifully to life that I found it difficult not to lsten until the very end of the book in one sitting. Brilliant. Can't wait to read the next Camilla Lackberg. Thank you Audible.

Stunning narration

I have read several of Camilla Lackbergs books, this is quite raunchy compared to her others so you wouldn’t really want to listen to it on a car journey with others! Having said that I enjoyed it.

Different to her other books

My first book by Camilla Lackberg and what a great surprise! Her writing style is wonderful and you would not know the book wasn't originally in English (in fact the grammar is better as no colloquialisms). Intriguing storyline and the narrator did a superb job, her voice was perfect for the main character. (There are a few sex scenes so just a warning for those who might not like that).

5 stars!

Faye is very smart but very needy from an horrific childhood and all she wanted was a good marriage. It is not difficult to understand why she set up her father and husband but why did she have to kill unimportant Victor who was forgotten in the book as soon as she walked away? That is the dark part. I listen with ear pods; there was no sudden blasting music and the narration didn't offend my ears. Excellent story, I have read all her books and would rate this one more that five.

Best Writer

The listener is deliberately kept guessing about what led to the events described at the beginning. The resolution was worth the wait.

Fabulous plot
