Summary
Pushed to breaking point, Cara Burrows flees her home and family and heads for a five-star spa resort. All she wants is space and time to think, far from everyone she knows. Instead she gets a shock in the middle of the night when she is given the key to a room that's already occupied - apparently by a father and daughter, who are equally shocked to be woken by a stranger.
Back at reception, Cara gets an apology and the key to a new room, and she imagines the drama is over....
America's most famous murder victim, Melody Chapa, has been dead for years. Her parents are serving life sentences for killing their young daughter. But if Melody's dead, how can Cara have seen her?

Slow story, mediocre narrator
The story is far too drawn out - just too much detail... unnecessary over descriptions of minutiae of the protagonists internal monologue, dry and extended readings from what seem to be news articles or case reports, all in an expressionless drone, and OMG those “American accents” 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

Bit of a marmite book
I listened to the audio version and I think this may have coloured my feelings about this book. It’s set in America and I found the narrator’s American accents for the many characters jarring. The plot is quite preposterous and requires an enormous degree of suspension of disbelief on the part of the listener. I’ve read other reviews where I think the book was read and not an audio version and -although the comments are not wholeheartedly positive - the readers seemed to get more enjoyment than I did.

So different
I've always loved Sophie Hannah's books and although this is not like her other books in many ways, I really enjoyed it. Hannah has a great use of language and she always comes up with extremely intriguing story lines and in my opinion, this one is no exception. It's very different. I couldn't quite fathom or relate to the lead characters reason for leaving her family (not wanting to give too much away) but, despite this, I found myself completely drawn in and listening to it at any moment I could.
Willow Nash was a great choice- so many audio book narrators drive me nuts but she's got a good variety of accents that were believable.
( I also loved the references to some of the differences in character between the Americans and the British, made me smile)

Bit repetitive but good storyline
Story was good but quite repetitive in the interviews and it really talked you through it, when it wasn't always needed.

Engaging Listen
I have listened to Sophie Hannah's Agatha Christie novels and love those. I didn't like this as much but it is still a great story, well performed by the narrator.

Very slow
This was not what I’ve grown to expect from Sophie Hannah. This was a slow plodding story with a dislikable protagonist. I skipped through chapters just to get to the end.

Very disappointing
No where near as good as the authors other books. Disjointed and irritating plot with an American setting
