About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

WHAT IF YOUR SON HAD MURDERED SOMEONE?

Sarah always thought of herself and her husband, Tom, as good people. But that was before their son Freddy came home saying he'd done something terrible. Begging them not to tell the police.

Soon Sarah and Tom must find out just how far they are willing to push themselves, and their marriage, to protect their only child . . .

As the lies build up and Sarah is presented with the perfect opportunity to get Freddy off the hook, she is faced with an impossible decision . . .

Save her son . . . or save herself?

Love the way the story unfolded gradually. It's a thought-provoking, compassionate, suspenseful and believable story, skillfully told by Jane Corry. I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I was slightly irritated by the narrator's voice and on odd occasions her word stress felt wrong. I can't help feeling that a male narrator reading Tom's chapters would have been better, too. In novels where the viewpoint changes at every chapter, I think two narrators would be much more effective.

The human experience, skillfully told

What a truly addictive, interesting and beautifully read novel. I cannot wait to now listen to all of Jane Corry's previous novels and will be eagerly awaiting any more in the future

I am now a fan of Jane Corry novels.
