About this listen

A dark, juicy, deliciously unsettling psychological drama.

Rose has it all - the gorgeous children, the husband, the beautiful home. But then her best friend, Polly, comes to stay.

Very soon Rose's cosy world starts to fall apart at the seams - her baby falls dangerously ill, her husband is distracted.... Is Polly behind it all? It appears that once you invite Polly into your home, it's very difficult to get her out again.

Good story but such a disappointing unexplained ending no clear answers will Google for an answer

Didn't like the story at all, there are hints of a mystery going around within it but it doesn't deliver. It ends leaving a lot of unanswered questions.

I had read mixed reviews of this book but I absolutely loved it. The main character Rose can be infuriating but the story moves along quickly. Some of the character's key attributes such as Rose's middle class pretentiousness and Polly's flakiness are a bit over laden but if you look past that, the story draws you in.
I think the narrator had a bit of a job on her hands with numerous characters ranging from English to American to Greek. Some voices are hugely irritating to be honest but I got used to it.
On the whole, an easy listen that draws you in with a 'Hand That Rocks The Cradle' vibe.

Loved this book! Kept me guessing until the end.

I quite enjoyed this book although the overuse of the words “duvet” “shudder” and “shivered” were mildly annoying. Also how old is her daughter supposed to be? I worked it out at 3 and a half ish. You would think she was about 12 with her vocabulary and actions.

Could be better.
