About this listen
In a normal family, in a normal house, on a normal street, everything is about to go horribly wrong....
You’d never know what secrets the house on Hogarth Street holds - what’s happening, right this second, behind closed doors.
An emerald-green front lawn. Perfectly trimmed hedging. An ivy-covered front gate and the scent of honeysuckle in the air. In the yard, two scooters lie on the grass. One blue, one pink, belonging to five-year-old twins.
But if you look closely, you’ll see the windows closed on the hottest day of the year.
If you listen carefully, you’ll hear the sound of a mother reassuring her precious children, the son and daughter she’d do anything for, as she holds their little hands. It’s okay, Mama’s here.
If you manage to get past the locked doors, you’d find her blaming herself. For the mistakes she has made. The choices that have to led to this moment. Her regrets about trusting the wrong people.
Inside the beautiful house on a quiet street is a mother making a desperate decision. Because somebody is threatening the life she has built and the children she worships. It’s down to her to protect her family. How far she is willing to go?

THIS BOOK MUST BE TURNED INTO A FILM
Well I never saw the twist until I went HUH! I identified with all the well rounded characters so brilliantly narrated! I wanted to hurry to the end, but also didn’t want to come to the end of the book,
Best thriller I’ve heard in 2021. Utterly absorbing and gripping. A truly brilliantly written book.
EVERY ONE MUST READ THIS BOOK

Wow, so so good.
This was a brilliant book. Such an amazing story, I felt like I had just watched a superb film in my mind. It was like a jigsaw completed. I felt uplifted that humans can be kind & caring. Read superbly too. Thank you.

Great plot.
Well written, well narrated. A definite listen, keeps you interested and wanting to “just hear one more” chapter. Will look for more of her books and also more from the narrator, who has a very soothing voice.

Not really a thriller for the most part
Not as exciting as I had hoped. Def not a Tom Clancy.
The last 1/4 was great

Couldn’t put it down
Really good at building the suspense to a crescendo and has an interesting twist in the tail.
