About this listen

A totally gripping and pulse-pounding psychological thriller

I have three days to kill a patient. If I fail, my daughter will die…

As the only doctor on a stunning remote Scottish island, I finally feel safe and happy. Here, nobody knows about my troubled past except my teenage daughter Lauren. I'm a single mother, so it’s just the two of us now, and Lauren is my world.

Caring for every person on the island, from birth to death, I know all their fears and secrets. But they don’t know mine, and for the sake of my daughter, I must keep it that way…

Everything is going perfectly until I am sent a link to a live video stream of my beautiful daughter Lauren, her wide blue eyes terrified. And there’s a voice:

‘Three rules. Three days.

You must murder one of your patients.

You must not tell another soul.

You must not get caught.

If you fail, your daughter dies…’

A jaw-dropping psychological thriller from multi-million copy bestseller J M Dalgliesh. This utterly addictive, pulse-pounding listen is packed with twists you’ll never forget. Perfect for anyone who loves Freida McFadden, Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train.

This is how you write a thriller, edge of the seat stuff!

I DIDN’T FIGURE IT OUT 😵😵😵

Set on the Isle of Jura, Dr. Kelly has 3 days to murder a patient to ensure the safe return of her daughter. Can she do it? Who could possibly have taken her daughter and why?

Buckle up and find out.

J. M. Dalgliesh’s writing pairs perfectly with Eilidh Beaton’s voice for the audio narration. Genuinely excellent.

If this isn’t a January best seller, I’ll eat my hat!!

I just gave up with this story it was not believable and so predictive. I was very disappointed

The stupidity

I love the setting for this story and was looking forward to the suspense and mystery building. But I just could not listen to this woman beyond the first few chapter! The general tone of her voice makes her sound like she's a little tipsy and flirting, which is not the described scenario. But as it went on I found myself unable to concentrate on the story because all I could do was imagine her installed at her Mic and totally hamming it up!
I have listened to over 400 audible books and I may have been spoiled by the talent of my most frequent narrators! Little known authors may have to find their way when choosing a narrator. However J.M Dalgliesh is a class act and deserves better than this!

Couldn't continue listening with this narrator!

Silly plot and poor narration. Have up on it after 6 chapters. Don't waste your money / credits.

Ridiculous rubbish
