About this listen

The BRAND NEW, chilling psychological thriller from bestseller Diane Saxon perfect for fans of Freida McFadden

'It's the epitome of that great saying, "Just one more chapter!" Then you discover you've read another five. Highly recommend as a great psychological thriller.' Joy Ellis

I want to be ordinary. To fade into the shadows where no one notices me and live a quiet life. A normal life.

But I am not ordinary. Not anymore.

I’ve been keeping a secret. From my colleagues, my friends and most importantly, my husband - who knows nothing of my past life.

Twenty years ago, at college, a boy became obsessed with me. Craig Lane believed he could make me love him back if he just tried harder. When I rejected him, he did something so horrifying, it’s the stuff of nightmares. All my nightmares.

Now I’ve been informed by Victim Support Services, that boy - now a man - has been released from prison. The news terrifies me.

Am I safe? Or does Craig still carry the same obsession he did when we were seventeen? I don’t know. I’ve ignored every letter he’s ever sent me.

Now strange things have started to happen: flowers have been left on my doorstep, my cat keeps going missing. Someone is watching me. Knows where I live. I am sure.

Worse, something even more sinister could be stalking me from the shadows. Because I have another secret...

My past is coming to get me. One way or another.

'An unrelenting thriller that twisted my stomach in knots from cover to cover' Daniel G. Miller, author of The Orphanage by the Lake

Absolutely loved this book, definitely my favourite from her ❤️ 📚 I just couldn't put it down !

What a page turner

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

It’s ok. Not a bad book but it didn’t stand out as particularly interesting or thrilling. None of the characters are all that likeable (in my opinion) and so I found it difficult to engage. The male narrator is pretty good but I’m really not a big fan of the female narrator. Try it for yourself, maybe it’s just me (other reviews are largely positive) but I struggled a bit with this one, sorry.

It’s ok.

ANOTHER BELTER FROM MS SAXON LISTENED TO IT IN THE 1 SITTING WHILE THE NARRATORS WERE VERY GOOD I FELT THE MAIN FEMALES VOICE COULD HAVE BEEN SLIGHTLY LESS STIFF SOUNDING AT CERTAIN PARTS BUT OVERALL ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

BRILLIANT

I almost gave up on the first chapter. She is slow. However, cranked the speed up to 1.2 and it was fine. Great story and thoroughly enjoyed!

Bear with the narrator!

Unbelievably irritating. Whole story depends on the main character being devoid of sense or wisdom

Protagonist ignores endless clues and does stup things
