Dear Debbie, by Freida McFadden | Free Audiobook

When good advice turns deadly

For years, Debbie Mullen has been New England's favorite advice columnist, doling out wisdom to stressed wives and overwhelmed mothers through her popular Dear Debbie column. Be patient. Communicate. Take the high road. She has preached empathy and understanding to thousands, building a career on helping others navigate their messiest problems while keeping her own life picture perfect.

But behind the polished column and the reassuring words, Debbie's world is collapsing. She just lost her job at the paper that made her name. Her teenage daughters are acting strange, distant in ways that unsettle her. And the tracking app she secretly installed on her husband's phone is telling a story she never wanted to read. Every platitude she has written now mocks her from the page.

Narrated by Julia Whelan, January LaVoy, and Scott Brick, the audiobook captures Debbie's unraveling with chilling precision. She is done being reasonable. Done turning the other cheek. Done offering second chances to people who never deserved the first. Now, Debbie is ready to take her own advice, and when a woman who has spent years telling others how to handle betrayal finally snaps, the results are anything but therapeutic.
