Summary

Two women have learned something shocking about their friend’s husband—and revealing it could either save her or destroy her . . .   During a night out at the pub, Stella and Carly accept an invitation to a local party, but the scene they find there is not what they expected. It’s a swingers’ event—and their friend Jesse’s husband is there among the swingers.   Now the two women aren’t sure what to do. Stella, who works with Jesse at the library, is inclined to keep quiet. She doesn’t want to poke her nose into someone else’s marriage, and on top of that, she knows Jesse is facing a potential job loss. The last thing she needs is more stress. Carly, on the other hand, thinks telling the truth is the right thing to do. Meanwhile, the angry threats from Jesse’s husband warning them to keep their mouths shut only make the situation worse.   As the two deal with their own personal lives—Stella facing a marital separation and an ailing mother-in-law, Carly coping with loneliness as her husband works long hours—they find themselves blurting out the shocking news. And even as dark secrets about Jesse’s situation are revealed, Stella and Carly will make some discoveries of their own.

    A dimly lit Victorian study. A mirror reflects two sides of the same man—one side dignified, clean-shaven, and composed (Dr. Jekyll), the other snarling, shadowy, and wild-eyed (Mr. Hyde). 
    The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a psychological thriller and gothic masterpiece that explores the duality of human nature and the shadows that lurk beneath respectability. First published in 1886, this novella follows the story of the respectable Dr. Henry Jekyll, whose secret experiments unleash his dark alter ego—Mr. Edward Hyde—upon Victorian London. 
    As Hyde’s brutal and violent behavior spirals out of control, Jekyll must confront the terrifying consequences of his scientific ambition. Told through multiple perspectives, this eerie and atmospheric tale has remained a chilling allegory of repression, identity, and the human soul. 
    This full audiobook brings Stevenson’s gripping prose to life with haunting narration, immersing listeners in cobblestone alleyways, flickering gaslights, and the eerie fog of 19th-century London. A must-listen for fans of gothic fiction, classic horror, and literary suspense.
