You Can Trust Me

About This Audiobook

Miranda Rijks’ *You Can Trust Me* is a slow-burn thriller that peels back the polished veneer of suburban friendship, revealing the rot beneath. The story follows Amelia, a yoga teacher whose life unravels after she’s swindled out of her savings by an online predator. Enter Paige, her relentlessly supportive colleague whose generosity borders on the suffocating. What starts as a story of camaraderie and mother-daughter bonding quickly curdles into something far darker, as Rijks meticulously dissects the way power and manipulation can fester even in the most seemingly benign relationships. The tension isn’t in what’s said, but in what’s left unsaid—every polite smile, every shared casserole, every offer of help drips with quiet menace. If you love domestic thrillers that feel like a pressure cooker about to explode, this one’s for you.

Narrated by the dynamic duo of Harrie Dobby and Hannah Curtis, the audiobook delivers a performance that’s equal parts soothing and unsettling. Dobby’s portrayal of Amelia crackles with vulnerability, her voice trembling just enough to make you lean in, while Curtis’s Paige exudes a saccharine warmth that slithers into something sinister the moment she steps out of the spotlight. The production is crisp, with subtle sound design that enhances the unease—think distant laughter that feels like a threat, or the creak of a floorboard when no one’s there. Rijks’ prose is sharp, but it’s the dual narration that elevates this from good to gripping, making the audiobook feel like a lived-in nightmare you can’t look away from.
