About this listen

A completely addictive psychological thriller from top 50 bestseller T.J. Emerson

Perfect for fans of Lucy Clarke and T.M. Logan

Olivia and Julian are enjoying lazy days in their Spanish villa, a well deserved break from their busy lives. Especially for Julian, who after a lifetime as a carer was thrust into the public eye following the tragic murder of his first wife.

The languid heat and peace of the villa is broken only by clifftop walks, sun drenched lunches and cooling swims. Until a chance encounter with Gabriel - an attractive man, many years their junior - changes everything.

Soon their idyllic break turns into a dangerous, high-stakes game of cat-and-mouse. Will any of them get out alive?

Brilliantly narrated by the wonderful Simon Mattacks, I binge listened to this. I listen to lots of books, and this is definitely one of the best. Excellent twist at the end which I didn’t see coming.

Couldn’t stop listening

It was balanced pace, well narrated but totally predictable in every aspect. If there is a sequel, save your time !

Predictable throughout

I really enjoyed this novel set in Majorca which added to the interest. The novel takes different turns as it unfolds. The resolution is neat and for a while I did not think it would take the direction it did, although like all armchair sleuths it did cross my mind.

Great descriptions aid to visualising the characters.I enjoyed the middle class Brits abroad descriptions. and the young BoHos.

I did not enjoy the female voices which the male narrator used.They seemed a mixture of Noel Coward heroines and Drag Queens. However this is a skilled narration and for the most part lifts the novel.

Intriguing from start to finish

When I read the blurb and reviews, I wasn't sure whether to bother with this one. I'm so glad I did - I loved it. The whole storyline was a complete surprise to me. It was sexy, gripping, and exciting, and I couldn't stop listening. I'd hoped for a more dramatic ending with more clarification as to what became of all the characters, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment as a whole. I'm sad that I've finished listening to this because I was enjoying it so much.
