Summary

You think you know the truth about the people you love. But one discovery can change everything....

Eight-year-old Billy goes missing one day, out flying his kite with his sister, Rose. Two days later he is found dead.

Sixteen years on, Rose still blames herself for Billy's death. How could she have failed to protect her little brother? Rose has never fully recovered from the trauma, and one of the few people she trusts is her neighbour Ronnie, whom she has known all her life. But one day Ronnie falls ill, and Rose goes next door to help him...and what she finds in his attic room turns her world upside down.

Rose thought she knew the truth about what happened to Billy. She thought she knew her neighbour. Now the only thing she knows is that she is in danger....

The Mistake is a completely gripping thriller that will keep you up all night, from the top 10 best-selling author of Blink, Liar and Safe with Me. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train.

This was a gripping book from start to finish. Performance was flawless. Very accurate tale of grooming (I was groomed as a 15 year old) and I’ve never found such an accurate story as this one.

Brilliant book

This book is so good, I could not stop listening or thinking of getting back to listening when I wasn't. It goes back 16 years at exactly the right time, and then in present time again.
You will not be disappointed, and the ending is absolutely brilliant. Hurrah for Rose.

Wow

The story is quite good but feels drawn out and repetitive and like others who have commented I got annoyed at the helpless Rose. Although I do imagine that’s what teenage girls are like and it would serve as a good warning book to younger girls. I generally enjoyed the story overall.

The narrator was average, I didn’t like the voice she put on for Gareth Farnham - he was far too obviously not a good guy and that Australian son, Eric - OMG I burst out laughing when he talked it was awful!!

Nevertheless a good story and ending.

It was OK

Really captivating book. Smashed listening to it in 4 days and it had me wanted to keep on listening everytime I had to put it down.
Narrator is fantastic and her voice is very lovely to listen to, full of emotion and with a range of voices/accents.

Fantastic and Gripping

Really good book, shows how controlling people work & groom. Even if it helps 1 person it's a start, also sad. story was consistent & was read well too. Well done.

Good but sad
