Sometimes your first love won’t let you go…

When Lou Wandsworth ran away to France with her teacher Mike Hughes, she thought he was the love of her life. But Mike wasn’t what he seemed and he left her life in pieces.

Now 32, Lou discovers that he is involved with teenager Chloe Meadows. Determined to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself, she returns home to confront him for the damage he’s caused.

But Mike is a predator of the worst kind, and as Lou tries to bring him to justice, it’s clear that she could once again become his prey…

The million copy Sunday Times bestseller returns with a gripping psychological thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat.

Intelligent story full of twists.

I did not know what would happen next! The story was well thought out and written. It’s a dark story with compelling characters.

Wow - Excellent

This is a really good listen, slightly implausible at times, but that does not matter to the story. Good narration. The story flows along really well and it is difficult to stop listening until the end. Recommended

I like this Author

I found it binge worthy at times and hard to put down and this is the second book of CL Taylor's that I've listened to, the first (Strangers) was really good and an easy compelling listen.
