About this listen

A psychological thriller from Alex Stone, top 50 bestselling author of The Perfect Daughter and The Other Girlfriend.

Appearances can be deceptive...

I was taught that life is pain. That love is pain. It was unavoidable. Acceptable. I never had anything, or anyone I could count on. Not really. Not even myself.

Until I met Dr Menon...

To the outside world Lauren Taylor’s relationship with her boyfriend Josh is perfect. He is supportive and loving and has been there for Lauren during her darkest moments. But behind closed doors, secrets and lies can be hidden…

And when Lauren wakes up in a hospital bed and is told Josh is missing, those secrets come bubbling up to the surface.

Because the police think Lauren knows exactly what’s happened to Josh; that she could even be capable of his murder…

The only person who believes in Lauren's innocence is Dr Menon, who has cared for Lauren as his patient for the last few weeks. He can't believe she's capable of murder. He knows just how good she really is.

Isn’t she?

A gripping new psychological thriller, perfect for fans of Sue Watson, Shalini Boland and S.E.Lynes

Really disappointed in this book. Don’t waste your credit. Incredibly boring. Flits between 3 timelines but in the same chapters so difficult to follow.
Overall a boring story with not much happening

Don’t bother

On and on and on and getting nowhere. Waffle and padding and so little substance to story......waste of my time...I kept hoping would get better ....it didn't.

Rubbish

What a waste of a credit. Literally kept falling asleep through the story. It never got going and I’ve supposedly finished it but have no clue what it was meant to be about. Narrator has a lovely soothing voice though, be great for insomniacs.

Great to fall asleep to.

A very good plot and storyline.
As a constructive criticism the flipping between three timelines was very confusing and distracting.
Reasonable narration - good characterisation.

Good storyline

Loved this! Lots of twists and turns. Warning: you won’t be able to put it down!

Gripping!
