Summary

He took his dark secrets and lies to his grave....

Fiona keeps herself to herself - it is safer that way. She allows few people to get close, having learned the hard way that most have their own agendas.

Lowering her barriers and trusting her husband Rob is a decision she has reason to regret. His indiscretions were coming to light even before the news of his hit and run killing one summer afternoon.

In the aftermath, blame and hostility is shown to her by many. The relationship with her mother is unravelling, and she has shut herself away from any friends she once had. Who can she turn to? Who will believe her? Other than her son Jack and her father, there is nobody she can count on.

Can Fiona stay away from her oldest and most faithful friend, the bottle? Or is her life as over as her husband’s?

Only the truth of Rob’s untimely death can decide that.

Nearly Excellent!

This is a really good, compelling story, with well drawn characters and a great ending. It could have been excellent if only it hadn’t been written a bit like a year 11 essay in its use of language, insofar as, people don’t use such precise language in every day speech! That combined with the rather wooden style of the narrator (who did a good job otherwise) was distracting at times.

Hit

Alexandra Hurworth, narration takes you to Yorkshire.

A great British thriller. Recovering alcoholic, secrets, family problems, embezzlement.
The twist and turns, the death of Fiona's husband by a hit and run driver, sets this great thriller in motion.

A rollecoaster.

Fantastic book by Maria Frankland

Well Maria Frankland has done it again another amazing book.

I couldn’t put it down and have read it within a couple of days. Would recommend this book to anybody who likes thrillers with twists and turns and an ending I would not have been able to guess.

Hit and run

This audiobook really had me hooked. The story line had lots of twists and turns which kept me hooked.
I wasn't sure about the narrator to start with but I stuck with it and I'm so glad I did.
I'll definitely me listening to more from Maria as the ones I've had the pleasure of listening to so far have been fantastic.

Kept me guessing

I very rarely read psychological thrillers unless I have had them recommended to me - and this was one that I’m delighted I followed up on. The setting of the story is around Otley and Ilkley near Leeds … areas of Yorkshire that I am very familiar with. I didn’t suspect the actual killer at any time throughout the book. I liked how the husband’s ‘other’ life was slowly revealed and with it the various potential individuals who might have a good reason to kill him. I felt Fiona’s frustration and desperation was evident throughout by the clever narration. I did, however, questioned some of Fiona’s actions. I changed my mind several times as to who I felt the actual killer was … so I do have to give the author credit for keeping me guessing. My reason for 4 * rather than 5* is that I felt it was a little drawn out in the middle.
Otherwise, a very good listen, well narrated and I would recommend it. I’ll certainly be looking at other books by this author.

Delivers again

I do enjoy a Maria Frankland book, I have discovered I enjoy them better through audio books, as the narration just adds something to the story - especially the accents this time.

I was not able to work out the culprit until about 90% in but still didn't know why. I like that in a book/story.

I was given an advance copy by the author but this in no way influenced my decision.
