About this listen

A dark and dangerous secret one woman has desperately tried to forget becomes the plot of a hit TV drama in this chilling short story from Sunday Times bestselling author Andrea Mara.

Elena’s looking forward to a quiet Friday night curled up with her husband with a glass of wine and a new crime drama on TV.

As the show starts, she realises, with a jolt of panic: every detail mirrors one horrific night she’s spent years trying to forget.

Elena doesn’t believe in coincidences. Someone knows her secret—and she’ll lose everything if the truth comes out.

Andrea Mara’s The Roommate is part of the Deadly Ambition collection, stories about greed, control, and the sinister side of making dreams come true. They can be read or listened to in one bingeable sitting.

I loved it. I have previously listened to a novel by Andrea Mara, and she is a talented writer, for sure. This short story was excellent. I really hope that Audible will create many more short fiction audiobooks.

A bit disappointed at how short it was, plus I found it all very far fetched
