Review #1
The Ex audiobook free
No substantial “conflict” to untangle; the return on investment is minimal despite the significant time dedicated to the monotonous plot. The complete portrayal of the protagonist was never achieved. Quite underwhelming.

The Ex audiobook
This book had me engrossed, eagerly flipping through pages to uncover the unfolding events. Olivia Randall, a prosperous attorney, receives a frantic call from a teenager seeking aid for her father. Olivia’s past connects her to Jack Harris, a man she was once engaged to but parted ways with on bitter terms, laden with guilt. After their separation, Jack endured a period in a mental institution, triggered by the loss of his only remaining family member, his brother, in a car accident following their fallout. Despite the hardships, Jack reconstructed his life, marrying Molly and becoming a successful writer, only to face tragedy once more when Molly falls victim to a shooting.
In a bizarre twist, Jack provides Olivia with an account of an enigmatic encounter he had while jogging, which supposedly places him near the scene of the shooting. However, Olivia’s investigation reveals the woman Jack described isn’t real, at least not under the name he was given. As Olivia delves deeper, doubts arise about Jack’s guilt. The narrative kept me oscillating between certainty and uncertainty, as the author adeptly presented new revelations that challenged my initial convictions.
The author skillfully weaved Olivia and Jack’s narrative through Olivia’s recollections, eschewing jarring flashbacks. This approach maintained the story’s natural progression. Although my initial impression of Olivia was tainted by her involvement with a married man, her character gradually grew on me as the intricate plot unfolded. Her tenacity, independence, and drive shone through. Jack, on the other hand, was immensely likable, and I empathized with the hardships he weathered throughout his life.

Audiobook The Ex by Alafair Burke
Upon discovering her former fiancé, Jack Harris, has been arrested for murder, Olivia Randall finds herself driven by the guilt that has haunted her since their breakup two decades ago. Despite this weight, she takes on his defense.
Tragedy has shadowed Jack from the time they were together, from his father’s passing to his brother Owen’s demise, and the shooting death of his wife Molly at Penn Station, caused by a disturbed young man named Malcolm Neeley. Malcolm’s failure to address his son’s issues led to a lawsuit against him, which Jack couldn’t win. Did this failure push Jack to find an alternative way to exact vengeance, perhaps indirectly causing Malcolm’s demise? How did the deaths of two additional victims become intertwined in this intricate web?
Initially convinced that Jack was being framed, Olivia believed his story about his presence near the crime scene. Yet, doubts emerged. Were there hidden ties between Jack and the victims? How did Olivia transition from a staunch advocate for her former love to a skeptic questioning his every word? Her relentless investigation into the evidence uncovers unexpected revelations.
“The Ex: A Novel” captivated me, a suspenseful journey of constant conjecture, mirroring Olivia’s own journey. The characters were captivating, particularly Jack’s daughter, Buckley, who defied teenage clichés with her intelligence and eloquence. Olivia, embodying a resilient attorney burdened by her past actions, demonstrated formidable resolve in her pursuit of justice.
Charlotte, a privileged friend of Jack’s since youth, played a crucial role in building his defense. As the trial unfolds, will these allies find themselves changing their stances? Could unforeseen circumstances shift the entire landscape? The stunning climax turns everything I believed on its head, unveiling secrets and unexpected sacrifices as the author’s parting gift to readers. A resounding 5-star conclusion.

Audio The Ex narrated by Xe Sands
Olivia’s phone rings, and a young girl’s voice greets her. It’s Buckley, the daughter of her former boyfriend from two decades ago, Jack, who was once her fiancé. They had planned to marry after law school, but Olivia always felt an underlying mismatch and ended the relationship. Despite her decision, the remnants of their past continue to burden her with guilt. Buckley’s urgent call informs Olivia that her father has been arrested and implores her to save him, citing a lingering debt.
Jack finds himself accused of a triple murder, with one of the victims having connections to him. Olivia’s deep understanding of Jack’s character leads her to reject the notion of his involvement. Yet, the mounting evidence against him seems insurmountable. As she delves into the case to uncover the truth, she wrestles with the question of who would concoct such an intricate scheme to frame him. With each revelation, Olivia begins to question whether she ever truly comprehended the man she was once prepared to marry.
I’ve previously delved into works co-authored by Burke and Mary Higgins Clark, finding their narratives engaging and well-crafted. I assumed that Burke contributed the bulk of the writing, while Clark offered guidance. The presence of Clark’s name ensured wider readership, boosting Burke’s recognition. However, this standalone novel underscores Burke’s individual prowess as a writer. It reaffirms that she can thrive without a co-author, and readers are drawn by her name alone on the cover.

Free audio The Ex – in the audio player below
I initially acquired the first two novels by Alafair Burke upon their initial release, primarily due to my longstanding readership of James Lee Burke, her father. I recall finding these initial two books rather compelling. However, I subsequently lost touch with her work and recently procured “Long Gone” and “The Ex” simultaneously.
Regrettably, the promise exhibited in her first two novels hasn’t been sustained. Both of these books fall within the realm of the foreseeable crime ‘Puzzle’ genre, a category frequently churned out, suitable as a diversion during a plane journey or for leisurely beach reading. Nonetheless, they eventually become wearisome due to their predictability and the notably underdeveloped characters. Alafair appears to lack the knack for character development, resulting in readers struggling to connect with or empathize with any of the main figures. Moreover, her descriptive abilities regarding settings and scenes appear lacking, leading to stories that lack a genuine sense of ambiance.
