About this listen

From Chris Brookmyre, winner of the Theakstons and McIllvanney awards for Black Widow, comes a standalone psychological thriller full of twists, lies and betrayal.

One family, two holidays, one devastating secret. To new nanny Amanda, the Temple family seem to have it all: the former actress; the famous professor; their three successful grown-up children.

But like any family, beneath the smiles and hugs there lurks far darker emotions.

Sixteen years earlier, little Niamh Temple died while they were on holiday in Portugal. Now, as Amanda joins the family for a reunion at their seaside villa, she begins to suspect one of them might be hiding something terrible.... And suspicion is a dangerous thing.

I really enjoyed this book. The plot was well crafted and very gripping .
Brookmyre has a marvellous imagination and his books are much more enthralling than most novels from this genre.

Excellent

Great twisting and turning story. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Am off to download another Brookmire! 😊

Another splendid story!

This is not a classic Brookmyre. It has elements of misdirection and hidden secrets but the story is revealed very slowly from two time points, 16 years apart. There is a cast of characters, not all of whom are particularly well rendered and seem insubstantial. Unfortunately two of the main protagonists have similar sounding names - Celia and Sylvia which adds to some confusion for people like me, who suffer from a slight degree of name blindness...
Good narrator, let down a bit by an ignorance of Portuguese pronunciation. The final S in many Portuguese words is pronounced SH, as anyone who has ordered a Sagres beet should know. I’m being picky, I know, but I listened to this audio book while on holiday in the Algarve..

Slightly confusing
