About this listen

Two mothers. Two daughters. One devastating truth.

Alex Blake was terrified of water, and had been since she nearly drowned at age five. So when police find her body in the river and rule it a suicide, her mother, Jen knows they're wrong. But no one will listen to a grieving mother.

The police dismiss her. Her husband thinks she's in denial. Even their neighbours, the Higgins family, urge her to accept the truth and move on. But something isn't right. Why was Alex messaging Lia Higgins, Jen's former best friend, the day she died? And why is Lia now so desperate to shut down Jen's questions?

The more Jen digs into the perfect family next door, the more she realises Alex was keeping secrets. Dangerous ones. Someone knows what really happened to her daughter. And they're determined to keep Jen from uncovering the truth.

A breathtaking, stay-up-all-night emotional thriller about motherhood, friendship and betrayal. Perfect for fans of K.L. Slater, Lisa Jewell and Nicola Sanders.

Good read in keeping with today's current affairs and I loved that it was set in Cork, Ireland! Great twists and turns and I liked how realistic the characters were and it didn't end the way you expected.

Good reveal!
