About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A gripping thriller from the bestselling author of The Couple at No 9.

Emilia Ward is just an ordinary mum living happily in suburban London with her husband and two children - a teenager from her first marriage, a little boy from her second. She also happens to be the bestselling author of the Miranda Moody detective novels.

But when Emilia embarks on her tenth novel, life takes a disturbing turn: an incident straight out of the plot of one of her novels occurs in real life. Just an unsettling coincidence, she thinks.

Until it happens again - and again.

Then someone she knows dies in the same way as a victim in the book she's currently writing...

Why is someone doing this?

How do they know what she is writing?

And what if Emilia and her family are next?

Looked forward to the latest offering from Claire Douglas, was not disappointed.
Storyline kept me intrigued throughout, good thing about audiobooks is you can’t have a sneaky look at last few pages.
As usual I didn’t identify the murderer until the end, darker than her previous books.
Enjoyed the narration and didn’t find them a distraction.
Highly recommend

I had to stay up to listen to it all, so captivating. Very rare to find something that is not predictable, things was one of the best things i’ve ever read. Such a wonderful book, it was exciting, unpredictable, once i started I could not put it down. It’s so different to anything I have ever read !!

Having recently been introduced to the works of Claire Douglas and having rapidly made my way through them, I couldn't wait for this book to be released. It did not disappoint and constantly left me wanting more - just when you think that you have it all worked out, along comes another curve ball! A fantastic read, highly recommended.

More twists and turns than a mountain road...
