APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A spurned wife’s savage revenge drives this wickedly dark thriller from veteran Swedish author Camilla Lackberg. When Faye Adelheim’s cold, cheating husband threatens to upend her outwardly perfect life of luxury in Stockholm, she taps into her own hidden past to forcibly regain control. Lackberg applies her usual devilish character development across The Gilded Cage, ratcheting up the stakes for a cautionary tale of money, marriage, motherhood and murder. There’s a lot to savour, including the bold themes of female sexuality and empowerment, grounded by steady, nuanced narration from Eleanor Winters and Josie Dunn. Fans of Gone Girl and Scandi noir won’t want to switch this off.

Could not finish
Once the book steered into the power and control of emotional intimate partner abuse I turned this audio book off. Life is too short to spend listening to stories of misogyny and abuse. After all, it us 2021.
