MY LOVELY WIFE by Samantha Downing, read by David Pittu

Narrator David Pittu’s smooth, soft delivery is the perfect contrast to the unnamed protagonist in this domestic thriller about a happily married couple whose hobby is killing innocent women. The story is told mostly through the voice of the husband, who describes his relationship with his wife and problems with his kids, as well as details of the couple’s secret life and growing concerns about getting caught. Pittu’s performance authentically mirrors the way people talk to themselves and matches tempo, volume, and tone to the husband’s varied personas, which range from loving family man to lady-killer (literally). Listeners may feel somewhat uncomfortable as they become invested in the husband’s story and could even start to root for him, lulled by Pittu’s spot-on portrayal. Published by Penguin Audio.
