Three women with separate connections to the victim. Three women who are – for different reasons – simmering with resentment. Who are, whether they know it or not, burning to right the wrongs done to them.

Carly had thought they’d always live there. The beautiful Cornish cliffside house they’d taken on as a wreck, that Mark had obsessively redesigned and renovated - a project that had made him famous. It was where they’d raised their children, where they’d sat cozily on the sofa, watching storms raging over the sea below. It was where they’d promised to keep each other’s secrets. Until now. Because Mark has fallen in love. With someone he definitely shouldn’t have. Someone who isn’t Carly. And suddenly their family home doesn’t feel like so much of a safe haven.

Kept me guessing but a little disconnected
This was a decent story and for the most part my interest held. The beginning is compelling but it is not what the book is about, it’s more background story so I was confused for a while when it transitioned in a different direction.
It’s one of those books where almost all of the action unfolds at the end, rather than hinted at throughout. Some things that ended up as minor parts of the story were initially so well detailed while some very significant things were barley delved into. Additionally, because side stories were not resolved, the events didn’t tie in strong enough. It did keep me guessing all the way through but mostly because I wasn’t sure which aspects were important. But as a whole, it was entertaining enough, I’m not sure I would enthusiastically recommend it to someone but it wasn’t a waste of credit.

A stunning story!
What a great story. I'm actually sad that it's ended. A story about a woman who lost her marriage and relocated to a small apartment building. She became friends with another woman and her children. She distrusted the boyfriend and feared for the woman and her kids. This story kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Never saw the ending unfolding that way. A definite plus to your psychological and mystery collections. I would give it more stars if I could. Loved it!! 😀😀😀

Well... I know what disconnected means now.
A very long he said she said with no big payoff.
Another listener had called this book "disconnected" in the review... I didn't really understand what it meant, but I do now. Several times I rewound 30 seconds because I thought I had missed something, but I hadn't. It wasn't an awful story but it wasn't good either, and I can't honestly recommend it

Over complicated plot
I generally love Alison Bruce’s work and her Cambridge set detective series is brilliant but this felt distinctly over complicated. The end, when mercifully it came, was no great shakes and by that point I think I’d lost interest. I also had little sympathy with the characters, particularly the main one. Her actions seemed wholly unlikely and I just kept wanting to scream at her to get a move on and get a life.

What a let down
It started off so interesting then just got super lazy. Characters weren't developed enough to care about them, ending was awful. Just ridiculous. Performance was good. I stuck with it because of that but everything else was awful.

A little slow, but a good read
I enjoyed this book. I loved the start and the end, but did find the middle was slow. A little drawn out. However the characters were good, the story gripping ( perhaps a tiny bit unbelievable) and the narration superb. I would recommend and would read other books by this author.

It Didn't Do It For Me
What would have made I Did It for Us better?
Fewer pages.
Would you ever listen to anything by Alison Bruce again?
Possibly not.
How could the performance have been better?
If the narrator hadn't read everything as a massive drama... it wasn't.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Boredom.
Any additional comments?
I thought this would be a great listen, however, it started well, got staid in the middle, and became totally ridiculous at the end.
