About this listen

A completely addictive and gripping psychological thriller

“There’s no place like home.” That’s what I tell myself as I pull another flawless meal from the oven. This perfect house on a quiet street was supposed to be my sanctuary, a place to recover. But everything changed the moment I saw that woman in the charity shop. She triggered something dark, buried deep within my memory....

Now I’ve started forgetting small things, like locking the front door.

And bigger things, like remembering to pick my little girl up from nursery.

I feel terrified every time I pass through a particular spot in our living room.

And sometimes, when I’m alone, I’m sure I can hear a baby crying....

I think the woman in the shop knows what happened to me. But if I can’t trust myself to believe she’s real, who will?

One of the most gripping and heart-pounding psychological thrillers you’ll ever listen to! If you were totally hooked by The Wife Between Us, The Girl on the Train, or The Woman in the Window, you won’t be able to turn this jaw-dropping thriller off until it’s finished.

I usually love this author but so many times I nearly gave up on this. it really is the poorest she's written. The main character is a snivelling wimp and the story doesn't come accross as believable because of the idiot characters. No substance to the plot. Really disappointing as usually get drawn into this authors psychological thrillers. It wasn't helped by the whiney voice of the narrator

extremely irritating main character

I've listened to quite a few Valerie Keogh stories now and they are full of twists,turns and all things unexpected. I loved them.
This one though, not so. Although there were a few gear changes, I can't decide if it was the narrator that I didn't warm to, the seemingly far-fetched and unlikely plot or a combo of the two. My last 4 or 5 stories have been VK's so maybe I just need a change of author for a while. I certainly don't rave over this one as I did the first couple but then if this had been my first novel of hers, I may have absolutely loved it!

NOT my favourite........
