The Price of Honey by Liane Moriarty @lianemoriarty_official @antheagreco @amazonpublishing @brilliancepublishing #DeadlyAmbitionCollection #ThePriceOfHoney

the setup…
Honey Beckett takes an Uber to her tech billionaire husband’s funeral instead of a fancy hired car. Barney Beckett was larger than life and widely lauded as a genius in the AI development. She can’t believe he’s gone even though he was twice her age. When she reaches the funeral, she’s in for a few surprises and the inevitable encounters with his three ex-wives and business partners.

the heart of the story…
I really liked how the Uber ride was used to get most of the background about Honey and Barney’s relationship and his backstory. It had me (and Honey) questioning whether Barney deserved her devotion and whether she really had “the good life” with this man. And, yes, that funeral provided some interesting layers and more.

the narration…
Anthea Greco was excellent in giving voice to Honey and all the secondary characters, vividly bringing them to life. Loved her performance.

the bottom line…
I enjoyed the story and was quickly drawn in. Using the Uber ride was a clever way of developing the characters and the ending was the ultimate sendoff to Barney. It just needed a little more to deliver that final blow. This had the makings of a really good full length story.
