Summary

A chilling psychological thriller for fans of Gillian Flynn, Nicci French, Sophie Hannah, S. J. Watson and Elizabeth Haynes that will haunt you long after you've finished listening....

In this dark psychological thriller, Olivia Taylor believes she has suffered the worst life can throw at her after the breakup of her marriage. Full of hope, she starts a new life with her nine-year-old daughter, Ellie, only to find the worst is yet to come.

Meeting Michael Crossman is the beginning of an unspeakable nightmare for Olivia, and her world slowly unravels. It is only through the retelling of her story that we piece together what has led her to become a mere shadow of the woman she once was.

Found this a little hard work

This book is certainly well read but I found the story droned on a bit but very a surprising ending regarding the incest between brother and sister

It the best but kept me keen to read

I did enjoy the book but it was rather predictable I felt. I'm not sure how to describe the way I felt at the end, more questions than answers to an end?

Hard listening

This book was a hard listen. Soft spoiler alert- it was frustrating for alot of the book, wondering why the main character stays with M. He is weird, controlling and coercive but 3/4 of the way in he suddenly has a cry and changes??! Interesting read but Definitely not on my favourite/could read/listen again list.

Gripping and Compulsive

I was hooked immediately. I knew there would be a twist but it was still a shock when everything was revealed. Highly recommended!

Another thrilling story!

Another great read from Kathryn Croft, brilliantly narrated. Lots of twists, saving the best till last. I can't believe I didn't discover this author sooner, I've already read three this week.

page turner but a complete fail at the end

captivating story which is well written but a horrible and utterly flat ending. the main character is a flaky and weak person with severe pychological issues. implausible at times.

I did see the ending coming however and I felt it ended rather abruptly without much explanation...

Behind Closed Doors

This book was far too long and drawn out and the central character, Olivia Taylor, was weak and dreary. The relationship between Michael and Olivia was also pretty unbelievable and incredibly brutal. He seemed such a pernickerity tedious control freak that I have no idea why she craved him so much.

A bizarre denouement too. Overall: a huge disappointment.
