Summary

The twisty new psychological thriller from the best-selling author of After Anna and Seven Days.

Everyone lies...but some lies are deadly.

For Claire Daniels, life is good. She has everything she’s ever wanted - a career she loves, friends she can rely on and a husband who dotes on her. All she needs is to start a family of her own and things will be even better than good.

They’ll be perfect.

For Alfie, it couldn’t be more different. His life with Claire is built on a lie. A lot of lies. And she can never find out.

Because Alfie has plans for her. Plans which must never come to light. But lies have a way of taking on a life of their own, and when his do, the consequences threaten to destroy everything.

For him and Claire.

Critic reviews

"A lip-smackingly twisted tale." (Heat)

"A tense and twisty domestic noir that oozes with intrigue. Perfect for devouring in one sitting." (Woman and Home)

I loved this book

I couldn't stop listening, what a story. Edge of your seat stuff. Such a good book, read so well too with great accents.

An average listen for me

This book was ok, it was really easy to listen to, narration was good but the story itself was just ok.

If you want something quick that you can switch off to then have a listen. But if you want a good thriller I would look elsewhere.

Good listen

Well I genuinely enjoyed it! Twists were good and for once my suspicions were right!
Wish there was a guy to read Alfie chapters, but other than that, I liked the audiobook

Couldn’t stop listening!

I’m so picky with my audio books. If I can’t get into the plot while I’m busy with something else I give up after a few chapters. This book had me hooked though! And, unlike others of this genre, had a really good ending. Highly recommend this book.

Interesting and engaging listen

I gave this 5 stars as I liked the characters and enjoyed the way the story unfolded. Great narration and each time I stopped listening I wanted to go back and hear more. Good twists and great plot. I will read others by this author.

Keeps you listening

A thriller that keeps you listening. I'd describe it as an "easy listening" book. Not too mentally challenging but with some good twists. The characters were not especially likeable to me - goodies and baddies, but there was just enough "oh for goodness sake, where is this going?!" to keep the plot going for me. I felt a little blindsided by the big twist, because I suppose so often this type of thriller has the voice of the two characters running concurrently with the reader knowing everything, and that's not the case here, even if you guess.
Narration was pretty good.
