Sorry but I just couldn't get into this one. I liked the premise of someone listening to a podcast about themselves and their murdered husband, however it just didn't grip me enough to want to finish

This book sounded just like the kind of book that I was going to love. A murdered husband and a wife who can't remember what happened. A podcast re-investigating the case - sign me up.

I did enjoy The Murder of Graham Cotton,. It was addictive and had all the elements of a fantastic psychological thriller. I love books that reveal the truth over multiple time lines and plenty of twists. Hannah, the wife, was not the most likeable of women.

The narrator did a fantastic job

Thanks to Harper Collins UK for my audiobook via Netgalley to read.

This book was just not for me, it’s not that it was a bad book, the twist in it was unexpected and a good one at that.
The story starts well, then the podcast element is brought in along with lots of other things but even with all that I felt myself wondering what was going and felt parts were really drawn out.
I also didn’t take to any of the characters which for me there has to be one character at least that makes a book interesting.
Thanks Netgalley for this book in return for my honest review.

This audiobook had me gripped from the opening and then glued to it whenever I had a spare five minutes and my phone handy! It had all the elements needed for a compelling psychological thriller - shocking opening, then/now time shifts, creepy atmosphere and unreliable narrator. The twists were great (although I had guessed something didn't ring true about one of the characters) and I was not prepared for the ending which I LOVED. As well as being really entertaining, it also raises questions around privacy, social media and explores interesting issues such as guilt, coercive control and mental health. The narration was excellent too. Recommended,

The Murder of Graham Catton intrigued me at the start but didn’t fulfil the promise. I usually enjoy books with unreliable narrators and the character of Hannah was well developed. However, the rest of the story was disjointed, with too much going on, predictable and full of usual platitudes - mental health issues, domestic abuse, loss of memory, which later conveniently comes back, best friend that is sleeping with the husband etc. I listened to this on audio and narrator was very irritating, talking in unnatural voices that all sounded the same.

The idea that your husband could have been killed and you can’t remember a thing, not even if you’ve done it, was a gripping plot. The way the book gently reveals what happened , whilst also going through a reinvestigation of the case was very clever. The additional bonus of another murder, was a fairly predictable, but gripping feature at the end of the book. The book took its time to reveal details, and the start, for me, was rather slow. But the last third really sped up, lots happening and being revealed so you as the reader can start to guess what had really happened. Very deep and complex plot. I listened to this as an audio book and felt the narrator did a fabulous job of using voices to bring this book to life. I loved the way she changed pace to affect the mood of the book. She really helped build those tense moments.

Narrator 5 stars!!

Book 4 stars!

First book I've read/listen to by Katie Lowe and will definitely be heading over to audible and buying another one.

This story was really interesting and had a bit of The Silent Patient feel to it.

I think im going to see alot of people talking about this book in book club

It’s been ten years since Hannah Catton’s husband was murdered, justice was served when the killer was convicted and jailed. But is that the whole story? A new true crime podcast is reopening the case and they have cast Hannah in a very suspicious light. What Hannah did or didn’t do is now in open to the public, who become judge, jury and executioner. A cutting story that tackles out love of true crime and our need to become personally involved in other people’s tragedies. Scanlon adds just the right dramatic flair in her narration

Dark. Thrilling. Chilling. This psychological thriller kept me on the edge of my seat basically the whole time, and I'm so grateful for the chance to get my mind off everything happening in the world right now. This audiobook was the perfect escape listen.

The Murder of Graham Catton is about Hannah, the widow of Graham who died over a decade earlier. She continues to struggle with her loss daily and even hears his voice. But when a famous true crime podcast chooses Graham's death as its topic, it makes things a lot worse for Hannah: she gets endless threats from listeners who think she murdered Graham. But what really happened to the husband?..

I don't want to reveal any of the plot (there's a reason why the Publisher's note is so minimal), but it is full of unexpected twists which can become really confusing if you're not paying your full attention. This novel is meant to be a complex mystery/thriller, and I absolutely loved the seamless execution.

I highly recommend this book to people looking for a really good psychological thriller - and fans of podcasts. This part reminded me of "Conviction" by Denise Mina, which I also liked a lot.

*Thank you to the Publisher for a free advance copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

I liked the narration until the reader starts putting on other voices. I found this quite cringeworthy. I never enjoy this style of reading.
The book itself was excellent. I have listened almost nonstop when I should have been doing other things. It was that enthralling.
The reader (listener in my case) is never sure whether this is a ghost story, a figment of a disturbed mind or a tale of an unbalanced liar. I won’t tell you which it turns out to be. You won’t guess everything and there are some amazing surprises along the way.
One warning though, amongst the rest is a tale of abuse; both mental and physical. This part was so well written, so much so that I had flashbacks to my own experiences. There were moments when I felt like my own life was being discussed. Katie Lowe did an excellent job with this subject.

An absolutely brilliant book! One of my favourites it a while. It reminded me of The Evidence by KL Slater. A bit predictable in places but really enjoyable with a great narrator. The multiple timelines were a bit confusing but worth it. I enjoyed Hannah’s potentially unreliable narration.
