About this audiobook

This program features multicast narration and an author's note read by the author.

A wealthy couple ends up murdered in the nicest part of town in this compulsively listenable thriller from M. T. Edvardsson.

Bill Olsson, recently widowed, is desperate to provide for his daughter, Sally. Struggling to pay rent, he welcomes a lodger into their home: Karla, a law student and aspiring judge, who works as a housekeeper to make ends meet. Her clients are the Rytters, an incredibly wealthy couple who hide behind closed doors. The wife is ill and hasn’t left the house in months. The husband is controlling and obsessive. Is he just a worried husband, concerned for his wife’s health? Or is there something more sinister at play?

As Bill’s situation becomes more dire, Karla is forced to make a difficult choice. And when the Rytters wind up dead, and Karla is pulled in for questioning, she’s made to defend some parts of her past she’d rather not revisit.

Every person in The Woman Inside is hiding something, but could any of them really have been driven to kill?

A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.

Ratings and reviews

I thought it was a decent read but didn't think anything that jaw-dropping happened. Wasn't a huge fan of the way the ending went.
