About this listen

One small mistake. One deadly consequence.

Elodie Fray wants to be more like her perfect sister, Ada, the one her parents are actually proud of. When she decided to quit her job and pursue her dream of becoming an author, she thought it would be her time to shine, but a year on nothing has happened. And she's getting desperate.

When Elodie makes one small mistake on a drunken night with a friend, things quickly spiral and suddenly everyone believes she has a book deal. Unable to find a way back from her little lie, her perfect dream becomes a perfect nightmare - and desperate times call for desperate measures.

Meanwhile, everything is not as it seems in Ada Archer's perfect life. When her sister suddenly disappears, she questions everything - from her marriage, to the man who's been charged with Elodie's abduction. The papers say it's him, but the more she digs into her sister's life the less convinced she is. Ada will do anything to discover the truth, even if it kills her.

No one knows what happened to Elodie Fray, and now her only chance of survival is her sister.

Perfect for fans of Claire Douglas, B A Paris and Lisa Jewell.©2021 Dandy Smith (P)2021 Bonnier Books UK

Best I’ve listened to in a long time

I loved Dandy’s use of similes in this- I found the storyline kept me completely engaged and I could relate in some way to both female protagonists. I thought it was a totally original idea and fresh. Really enjoyed it and even offered to load the dishwasher more often so I could listen to it as I faffed about in the kitchen. Can’t wait for the next one.

Best, on the edge of your seat, Thriller.

Dandy is an incredibly talented writer. The story has various twists and turns and some lovely themes within the book. Towards the middle to end of the book you cannot put it down, you end up racing wanting to know how the story will end and who's lives become at risk (trying not to do any spoilers here!).

It's compelling, gripping, dark and enlightening all in one. This will be an unforgettable read, you will not regret purchasing this book.

Two small mistakes

Could have been better. To slow to start and even slower to finish.
Although the story kept me listening I got fed up at the last few chapters that dragged out an already anticipated ending.

Loved it sooo different

This was a great book, it was different and I havnt as yet Hurd anything that followed this path, different and brilliant. I am soooo pleased Dandy Smith (author) pushed past any negative comments on her desire to be a published writer, you have a brilliant skill and we are lucky to have the chance to listen. I look forward to the next one on its realise. Life is too long to be unhappy

The story with EVERYTHING!

I truly loved this story. I've listened to hundreds of books on Audible and this is one of those stories that totally immersed me. I went through a wealth of emotions, laughter sadness, anger, intrigue often sneaking off for a sneaky listen when I didn't want to stop listening. It's one of those stories that your sadden and even miss the characters when it's over. I'm so looking forward to more from Dandy. I rarely write reviews only when something is a wonderful listening experience and this is!
