About this listen

The BRAND NEW, chilling psychological thriller from bestseller Diane Saxon perfect for fans of Freida McFadden

'It's the epitome of that great saying, "Just one more chapter!" Then you discover you've read another five. Highly recommend as a great psychological thriller.' Joy Ellis

I want to be ordinary. To fade into the shadows where no one notices me and live a quiet life. A normal life.

But I am not ordinary. Not anymore.

I’ve been keeping a secret. From my colleagues, my friends and most importantly, my husband - who knows nothing of my past life.

Twenty years ago, at college, a boy became obsessed with me. Craig Lane believed he could make me love him back if he just tried harder. When I rejected him, he did something so horrifying, it’s the stuff of nightmares. All my nightmares.

Now I’ve been informed by Victim Support Services, that boy - now a man - has been released from prison. The news terrifies me.

Am I safe? Or does Craig still carry the same obsession he did when we were seventeen? I don’t know. I’ve ignored every letter he’s ever sent me.

Now strange things have started to happen: flowers have been left on my doorstep, my cat keeps going missing. Someone is watching me. Knows where I live. I am sure.

Worse, something even more sinister could be stalking me from the shadows. Because I have another secret...

My past is coming to get me. One way or another.

'An unrelenting thriller that twisted my stomach in knots from cover to cover' Daniel G. Miller, author of The Orphanage by the Lake

ANOTHER BELTER FROM MS SAXON LISTENED TO IT IN THE 1 SITTING WHILE THE NARRATORS WERE VERY GOOD I FELT THE MAIN FEMALES VOICE COULD HAVE BEEN SLIGHTLY LESS STIFF SOUNDING AT CERTAIN PARTS BUT OVERALL ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

BRILLIANT

Absolutely loved this book, definitely my favourite from her ❤️ 📚 I just couldn't put it down !

What a page turner

I loved this entertaining tale of obsession, stalking and toxic relationships. There are some very dark themes which the author handles with sensitivity. The story is told on dual timelines, 2004 and present day, and I was totally hooked as Soriah's backstory was gradually revealed. The book is an emotional rollercoaster which had me gripped throughout.

Lovely narration by Vivienne Rochester and Rhys Tees.

Excellent

The story was great just like all of this authors books. I have absolutely loved the previous books however the perfomance ruined this book. The male voice was fine the female sounded like it was very robotic and changes of character did not work.
Apart from this great story.

Great storyline
