'A deliciously dark story of how one woman’s life of seemingly domestic bliss can unravel faster than she ever thought possible' Nikki Smith

TWO sides to every story
THREE deadly betrayals

FIVE bad deeds
Ellen Walsh has done something very, very bad. If only she knew what it was . . .
Teacher, mother, wife, and all-around good citizen Ellen is juggling non-stop commitments, from raising a teen and two toddlers to job-hunting, and renovating her dream home.
Amidst the chaos, a note arrives in the mail declaring:
Sooner or later everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences.
Ellen has no idea why someone would send this to her. She tells the occasional white lie, has a sharp tongue now and again, but she’s done nothing to incur the wrath of an anonymous enemy.
As she races to discover who’s set on destroying her life, Ellen receives more threatening messages, each one hitting closer to home and everything that she cherishes.
Could the five bad deeds that come back to haunt her explain why things have taken such a deadly turn?

a good listen, ended too fast
I loved the story and the build up, it felt a good pace and I liked the shorter chapters to be able to dip in and out. when it gets towards the end, I just wanted a bit more depth and detail, felt like an ending that happened too quickly, I felt there was a lot more exploration of the characters to be done. would definitely recommend though

Best book I have listened to in ages. Great storyline keeps you guessing. I have listened to books by this author before and really enjoyed the style of writing. Excellent narration

Turned itself inside out
This was disappointing, mainly because it was trying to be clever and twisty but in fact all it did was to tie itself in knots.
By the end I just didnt care what happened and that might account for my apathy.
But whose fault is that?

Well narrated but hearing reader swallowing was really annoying. Happened a number of times and found it distracting

It comes together in the end,
I previously really enjoyed a book by Caz Frear so was disappointed at the slow start. Initially abandoned it but returned and pleased I did as the story unfolds well and is engaging.
