    An Accident

    An Accident

    Maree recuperates, and suspects she was poisoned. But she has sunk so much money into the boat she tries to play nice with Damien until she can get back to the boat, and end their marriage. On the boat, an "accident" occurs, which nearly kills Maree, and which she believes was not an accident. It's ultimately just a prelude, though, to what happens next... as Maree faces a terrifying final confrontation with Damien that will end things, once and for all.

Great 2748957 ,

Nuts!!

This story is told well, but it is absolutely hard to believe. Who in the right mind is crazy enough to stay with someone who claims to have had all of this done to her. She seems very desperate and very dramatic and by the end of this podcast I was thinking if he kills her that’s what she gets because she’s dumb enough to stay after all those times

HIghknocker ,

Yet another tale of love gone rotten, well told.

It’s an well told tale of an ages old story. Lots of different views of the relationship from friends looks in.

The narrator is soothing and fluid.

Only listened for Tony Dalton
