Story
One sunny August afternoon, the residents of Cedar Close throw their annual summer barbecue. Children play in the cherry-tree lined street, tables are laden with food, and the wine is flowing. For Laurie Mills, it’s her first time meeting the neighbours. And it’s the first time she discovers her husband, Robert, is having an affair. Cedar Close has always been a nice place to live - a quiet suburban street where everyone looks out for one another and bad things don’t happen. Until late one evening, when Robert Mills is found dead in his bedroom.

When a teenage girl is found dead in the woods, her body posed like an angel, Stockholm holds its breath. The kill bears a chilling resemblance to those of the Angel Maker, a serial killer caught two decades ago.... One who just died in prison. Detective Inspector Jamie Johansson is taking some much-needed time away from the London Met when the call comes in. Her father, one of Stockholm's most notorious detectives, caught the Angel Maker when she was just a girl, and Jamie has long since closed the door to that part of her life.

You wake on a beautiful, remote island. Sparkling blue seas, golden sunsets, barely a footprint in the sand. Yet this is no ordinary escape. Next to the wreck of a plane, a stranger paces. Another sharpens a knife, scoring a list of the dead onto a palm tree. Others watch from the shadows of a campfire—all with untold stories, and closely-guarded secrets.

Summary
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 B A Paris, Louise Candlish and Erin Kelly.

One Small Mistake. One big story!
Absolutely binged this book! It tackles a lot of issues that are interesting and engaging. As a millennial woman I am forever getting the pressures from all angles about having a child so I feel seen and understood for choosing not to have one.
Heart racing, heart breaking and witty. I wasn't one for audio books but I have been converted. Well read by both narrators and I have downloaded more titles read by them.
Will definitely read/listen again!

Gave up on this one
I fail to understand the rave reviews. It wasn't a bad story until the victim is in a windowless locked room and decides she must have her cat for company. Cat arrives in catcarrier , no litter , no cat food etc!. That was the point that it lost all credence and I gave up. I do wish that writers who introduce pets to their story should follow through and not just forget about the animals.

Dark, Crazy and Unputdownable
I believe this is a debut novel so I didn't have any expectations, but this is a fabulous psychological thriller which genuinely deserves the description 'unputdownable'. Ok, the story is highly implausible and requirea a huge suspension of disbleief. But it is SO entertaining and had me enthralled from start to finish.
It is the story of two sisters and their unbreakable love for each other. Elodie is desperate to have her first book published and envies her sister Ada's 'perfect' life. The writing is wonderful and the characters are perfectly drawn. I started off feeling that Ada was shallow and unlikeable but as the book progressed I began to like her more and more. With each chapter the book gets crazier and darker until the shocking, dramatic conclusion.
I can't wait to see what Dandy Smith comes up with next!
Excellent narration by Georgia Maguire and Daphne Kouma.

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.

Bold, brilliant & totally binge-worthy!
I really enjoyed listening to this, the story was captivating and so well written. Dandy is clearly born to write and has such a natural way with words. I found it to be a poignant reminder of many issues women face and really tackled these issues well.
The story was full of interesting characters, surprises & emotive language.
It was read well by both narrators and I really look forward to reading more by Dandy in the future.

The opposite of thrilling
Admittedly, I'm not a fan of the author's wordy writing style, which slows things down to snail pace. The storyline becomes increasingly far-fetched and downright silly as it progresses. Is this supposed to be black comedy? I'm amazed by the good reviews.

Brilliant. British. Bizarre. Brazen. Beguiling.
I do so enjoy my British audiobooks and this one is most definitely a new favorite in my Audible library. I did come across a grammatical error or two, though they took nothing away from the story. What starts out as “One Small Mistake” explodes into a complexellent and audictive plot. With realistically whimsical, devious and loving characters, author Dandy Smith interweaves a “close to my broken heart” storyline that grabbed me from the very beginning. Narrators Georgia Maguire and Daphne Kouma skillfully brings these unique characters to colorful and vivid life. A high-octane suspenseful thriller filled with surprises and jaw-dropping moments kept me wanting more. The bold talents of author and narrators shine through. Highly recommended? Indeed! At 12-plus hours, not a dull moment. So worth a cherished credit. I want more and I want it now! An awesome nod to Audible for making this available.

This is the second title in row I have quit middle of the book. I just don't care enough about any of the characters or the drama to spend another minute trying to finish.
