About this listen

There are some secrets you can never tell.

The last thing to go through Dominique Thomas's head was the image of her teenage daughter's face and her heart lifted. Then the shot rang out.

They were the perfect family. Successful businessman Ben Thomas and his wife Dominique live an enviable life, along with their beautiful children: teenager Ruby and quirky younger daughter Mouse.

But on Christmas Day the police are called to their London home, only to discover a horrific scene: the entire family lying lifeless, victims of an unknown assailant.

But when Ruby's diary is discovered, revealing her rage at the world around her, police are forced to look closer to home for the key to this tragedy.

Each family member harboured their own dark truths - but has keeping their secrets pushed Ruby to the edge of sanity? Or are there darker forces at work?

This dark, gripping psychological thriller will have you holding your breath until the very last minute. Fans of Behind Closed Doors, Sometimes I Lie, and The Girl on the Train will be captivated.

"Compelling, claustrophobic and horribly believable - a great read!" (B. A. Paris, author of Behind Closed Doors)

Guessing from beginning to end

Brilliant storyline, brilliantly narrated, perfect in every way. The best book I've listened to in years with a twist I didn't see coming. A totally MUST READ if you like psychological thrillers.

Absolutely brilliant

Entertaining in a trashy sort of way. Predictable and over the top. Wouldn't read again but fine for an easy poolside read or something. Much better books of a similar nature out there.

Not particularly well written

What a tangled web we weave is just the right way to describe this compelling novel. I purchased this after so enjoying The Perfect Friend so I knew it was going to be complicated - and it certainly was that. You know within minutes of listening that the police have been called to a home with multiple casualties but just who is the villain. Everyone has a motive within this family and with hubby having an affair with a somewhat deranged younger woman and the teenage daughter involved with a gypsy of dubious parentage, anything might happen - and it does. We delve into the recent past whilst popping forward at regular intervals for glimpses of the carnage that is to come. Stay with it, just as I did and 10 hours flies by.
