Summary

Soon to be an ITV drama starring Aidan Turner.

Joseph O'Loughlin appears to have the perfect life—a beautiful wife, a loving daughter and a successful career as a clinical psychologist. But nothing can be taken for granted. Even the most flawless existence is only a loose thread away from unravelling. All it takes is a murdered girl, a troubled young patient and the biggest lie of his life. Caught in a complex web of deceit and haunted by images of the slain girl, he embarks upon a search that will take him from London to Liverpool and into the darkest recesses of the human mind....

Critic reviews

"Believable and authentic from the first sentence.... Robotham doesn't put a foot wrong in his plotting, pace or inventiveness." (The Australian)

"A truly classy thriller, beautifully crafted." (Australian Woman's Weekly)

Fantastic

Very clever story kept you guessing all the way through it. At times you would get frustrated with the situation and want to say stop running but over all I enjoyed this book. Would highly recommend it and look forward to listening to more books of Michael Robotham and Robert the Narrator did a fantastic job and brought you right into the book.

Great novel

The television series prompted me to read this novel after the first episode. I much preferred the novel. There are subtle differences in the characters in the novel which make the plot more believable I
Excellent narration

Slow burning story.

The story was absorbing and tense. Well written. Enjoyed Robert Glenister’s voice and his many characters, brought the novel to life.

Excellent narration which brought the story alive

My favourite narrator and a story that held my attention. So much better than the tv adaptation which I stopped watching because it didn’t engage me. I was in two minds about getting this book because of that but am glad I did.
