Summary
She thought she had the dream life – and then her nightmares began…
“A proper mind-blowing page-turner,” (Elizabeth Haynes, Into the Darkest Corner)
Eva Curtis is a pathological perfectionist whose attention to detail means she never makes mistakes – until one slip-up leads to the death of a patient and the end of her career.
Depressed and anxious, she experiences terrifying dreams, so visceral they’re almost real.
With the support of two strong men in her life – her doting husband, Jacob, and her enigmatic psychologist, Saeed – she’s determined to get her life back on track.
But then she discovers a secret safe, hidden in Jacob’s study, and her world is turned upside down.
The three items inside make her question everything she held true....
Who is the man she married?
Was her patient's death even her fault?
And are her nightmares the key that unlocks the truth?
When He’s Not Here is a dark and twisty psychological thriller that will keep you guessing right to the end.
Narrated by the star of stage and screen: Emilia Fox

My guilty pleasure. So many twists and turns.
I could not stop listening there were so many twists and turns. Once you get sucked into the world of the main character it’s difficult to think of anything else. I binged the whole novel (14 hours) in two says. I was so desperate to find out the answer to the mystery I switched to double speed. It doesn’t disappoint. No spoilers, but there is a brilliant revelation at the end that I never saw coming. The reader is brilliant too. After hearing the audiobook, I immediately read the book itself. This book has been my guilty pleasure this summer and I enjoyed every moment of it.

Brilliant
I very rarely review a book unless it stands out for me. I thought I had to put fingers to keyboard to thoroughly recommend this brilliant book. It twisted throughout and I’m glad I downloaded it. Emilia Fox was as reliably perfect in her narration as in everything I’ve heard her read. Don’t hesitate it’s an enthralling tale.

When He’s Not Here
This was a very intriguing story and although it was good to get a full resolution I did feel it went on for too long! I thought it had ended and there was still 2 hours left. It left me feeling unsure if I enjoyed it or not? Some parts are exciting and leave you dying to know what happens next and other parts are tedious and hard work. Probably could have been edited down more but I might be willing to try another book by the same author.

Riveting!
I enjoyed the story.
Emily had a challenge with so many variational voices that she dealt with admirably.
the story may be sensitive to some listeners but not offensive at all.
it was well written by an extremely clever writer who was well versed in life as we don't know it.
I laughed out loud at times (something I rarely do).
i believe the dog could have been omitted from the storyline altogether and did little to enhance the plot. that said. I enjoyed it and I would recommend it.
