Two women. Many aliases. Meg Williams. Maggie Littleton. Melody Wilde. Different names for the same person, depending on the town, depending on the job. She's a con artist who erases herself to become whoever you need her to be—a college student. A life coach. A real estate agent. Nothing about her is real. She slides alongside you and tells you exactly what you need to hear, and by the time she's done, you've likely lost everything.

Story
Bestselling mystery writer Lucy Harper's talent for invention has given her fame, fortune, and an army of adoring readers. It has also saddled her with dependents, namely her fawning husband Dan. When Dan suddenly goes missing, his disappearance evokes dark memories that take Lucy back more than thirty years—to the day her brother vanished without a trace. That's when Lucy began conjuring stories. The police investigation revealed few confirmed details, so she created tales to fill in the gaps, to explain what happened that day her brother disappeared—and Lucy was the only witness.

Not one likeable character.
I know I am in the minority here but I just don’t get it. I was determined to finish based on all the great reviews but ended up speeding the narration to help me along.
There was not one likable person in this book. The story seemed to drag, the criminal case was just okay. Imagine having an affair with someone who treats you worse than your husband? I just never connected with this book.
The last couple of chapters were everything. Not wonderful but..

Loved it! The writer pulls you into the world of the female barrister using vivid details. There were times I loved the main character, other times I couldn't stand her. We are able to witness the full character development in exciting ways. The audio performance was simply lovely, she wonderfully expressed each character. Highly recommend this in audio or book form.

Typical anti-heroine with weak secondary storyline
I like anti-heroines and this self-destructive lawyer and mother is fairly well constructed. She is having an affair with a lawyer who is senior to her while her marriage and family life with her daughter continues to suffer under the weight of her drinking problem. As she works through this, we also follow her first major case, a murder, but that storyline is entirely predictable. What happens with our main character is not so predictable, but it’s also not compelling because there’s not a suspenseful build to the denouement, it’s just sort of dropped onto you in the last 20 minutes. It falls flat and makes for an unsatisfying read that I can’t recommend to others.

Truely unpleasant people
The characters in this story are really ugly people, in the sense that they are abusive, alcoholic, and/or manipulative. This story is especially hard on men, although the main female character, Alison, is pretty awful, too. In spite of these unpleasant characters, the book is suspenseful, in the way that watching a car crash is compelling. Credit to the great narrator who kept all the dysfunction semi-palatable.

Blood Orange came highly recommended
What a disappointment! I found the writing to be base and the actions and dialogue of the main characters to be so far from what one would expect of professionals that I was compelled to finish the book just to see if it could redeem itself before the end. It did not, and I found myself laughing aloud at the absurdity of certain scenarios. It was remarkably predictable and a waste of my time. I urge you not to waste yours!

Great Psychological Thriller, Extremely Different
I had read several good reviews about Blood Orange and I decided to purchase it and read it while in quarantine. I was addicted right away. This story has so many wonderful twists and turns.
The characters are really unlikable, but that's what made me want to listen even more. We have a successful workaholic and alcoholic mother who is trying to keep her job, her boozing, her family and the man she is having an affair with balanced. Of course this becomes a huge conundrum. We have her husband, who takes care of their young daughter and decides he's tired of his wife's irresponsible ways and wants a divorce.
Things sort of spiral out of control and in the end, we find out a few surprises that weren't at all expected.
The narrator's voice for 'Blood Orange' seems like it's too old for the main character, but aside from that, this book is an excellent psychological thriller that had me salivating for more.
Brava!

Binge able listening
This is a book you won’t be able to put down. It’s a good thriller and it’s refreshingly unique. One downside is the extremely unlikeable main character with seemingly little redeemable qualities. It’s always frustrating when a particularly nasty and selfish person is made to be some sort of heroine or pushing for you to root for someone so stupid who gets away with hurting people without repercussions. I wish the author would have made Alison at least a little bit like able. Nevertheless it is a pretty good book and worth a listen!
