Sobre este áudio
“A page-turner par excellence, written with unobtrusive brilliance, [and] full of sharply observed lines…. The Death of Us lives up to the hype.”—Stephen King
“The Death of Us is astonishingly good—Abigail Dean’s the real thing.”—Mick Herron, bestselling author of Slow Horses
A CrimeReads and Brit + Co Most Anticipated Book of 2025
It’s the night we never talk about.
It’s the story the world wants to hear.
But this isn’t the story of that night. This is the story of us.
Together, Edward and Isabel move to London. They are young and in love, occupied by friends, work and fun. But late on a spring evening when they are thirty years old, their home is invaded by a serial killer. In the wake of this violation, each tries to come to terms with a night that changed everything—and their marriage begins to crumble.
Twenty-five years later, their tormentor is caught, and Edward and Isabel reunite for his sentencing. Isabel has waited years for the man who nearly ended her life to be brought to justice. Edward has tried to think about anything else. As they prepare to deliver impact statements in the public eye, it is time to revisit their love story. Will they finally be able to confront the secrets, longings and lies that tore them apart?
Or will the horror of that night be the death of them?
A captivating portrait of a marriage and its implosion, The Death of Us digs into the stories we tell ourselves about love—and everything love can bear.

“Abigail Dean has already proven to be a skilled observer of ordinary humans in extraordinary circumstances, and her latest is her most affecting study yet.”—CrimeReads Most Anticipated List
“This wonderful novel is a page-turner par excellence, written with unobtrusive brilliance, [and] full of sharply observed lines.... Dean has taken a case that closely resembles California’s Golden State Killer and combined it with the story of Isabel and Edward, a couple whose love is put under a breaking strain by an almost unimaginable tragedy.... The Death of Us lives up to the hype. Read it for story, always appreciating the no-showing-off clarity of its prose.”—Stephen King
“In The Death of Us, Dean captures the best and worst of humanity with exceptional skill: Isabel and Edward felt completely real to me. I laughed with them, cried with them and rooted for their survival—and the survival of their love—from the very first page. I can't remember when I last read a novel that was this gripping, disturbing and beautifully written. I simply couldn't bear to look away. After three remarkable novels, Abigail Dean has proven herself to be the master of the literary thriller.”—Emilia Hart, bestselling author of Weyward
