About this listen

The gripping psychological thriller from the #2 bestselling author of The Family at No. 12!

A darkness settles on this supposedly quiet street...

When Clare becomes a widow, her response is something that shocks her – relief. All she wants to do is move on and figure out how to continue her life, alone, no matter the guilt that brings.

So when Vic, her closest friend, comes to her, showing the signs of trouble in her own marriage, she is more than supportive in helping her leave Rob.

But Vic doesn’t get the chance to do that. Because as they go over to Vic's house to collect her things, they find a body. Rob’s.

It appears someone else had an axe to grind. But for Clare, already reeling from secrets from her own late husband’s dark past, she’s about to find out this murder isn’t as straightforward as it may appear…

An addictive psychological thriller from bestselling author Anita Waller perfect for fans of Frieda McFadden.

This is a reasonable listen. I found the story is a bit disjointed though. The narration, though competent, is a bit shrill at times, especially at the beginning of chapters.

Not bad!

Loved this book, why have I not discovered this author before?! I was born in Sheffield and I love the references to this great City.

Absolutely brilliant

I listened to this book and the narration was great, I can't read books very often as it makes me dizzy so a good narrator is paramount and Lesley was excellent, I enjoyed the story, learning about the characters and investigation and how it all fits, but felt the ending was a bit of a let down, I think I thought it would be a bit more dramatic. It's ages since I've listened to any books so maybe it's just me. All in all very enjoyable.
