About this listen
Discover the most gripping crime thriller of the year. Winner of the Joffe Books Prize. TRUST NO ONE.
Johannesburg, 1980s Apartheid South Africa.
Augustine flees her vengeful ex-boyfriend with nothing but her child and the clothes on her back, terrified he will find her.
Because she also possesses a dangerous secret.
One he will kill for. One he will never stop hunting her for.
But Augustine is rescued by a wealthy white housewife who takes pity on her, offering both employment and refuge. Or so she thinks.
It might seem that she is safe inside the walls of the prosperous Diamond family home, but outside her every move is watched. Her sanctuary has become her prison.
In this city, where trust is a rare commodity, Augustine has made a mistake that could cost her everything.
This absolutely gripping crime thriller is perfect for fans of Deon Meyer, J.M. Coetzee, Chris Hammer, Jane Harper, Chris Whitaker or Paul Mendelson.
THE SETTING
In the heart of 1980s Johannesburg, where sprawling suburbs meet crime-ridden neighbourhoods, the line between privilege and poverty is razor-thin. The quiet, suburban streets hide dark secrets behind their pristine facades while the streets hum with tension.

Found it hard to follow
This story was quite disjointed in my opinion. There were too many characters to keep tabs on and sometimes I couldn't work out what was going on as it jumped from one person to another - sometimes the accents were hard to follow when the narrator was speaking quite fast. I still have a few questions about what was going on, but the twist at the end was good. This audiobook seemed to go on for a long time and I almost didn't finish listening, but keen to know what the ending would be I managed to hang in there.

Confusing
I listened to this because it was free on Audible. What a twisting turning confusing and often frustrating story line. Best bit was the epilogue which summarizes the whole story in 5 minutes.
