About this listen

 You invited her in. That was your first mistake.

Jules and Scott are a young couple living on the outskirts of London. When the charming and charismatic Orla sweeps into their lives, inviting her to house-share seems like the answer to all their problems: she needs a home, they could do with the money.

But once Orla moves in, Jules starts to feel uncomfortable. Whatever the occasion, Orla has to be centre-stage. Every social occasion, every outing, every get-together is dominated by her and her daily dramas. But on closer inspection, Orla's stories just don't add up. And Jules starts to suspect that their dream housemate might be about to turn their lives into a nightmare.

Great storyline and believable. I love this author. She keeps you guessing the plot. Could be a film. I said this about the perfect guest too!

Loved it!

This is the second book from this author I have read and I have enjoyed both. I thought the narration was excellent.
I didn't expect the ending (which was a good thing) but then I was expecting her to link both "falls" although I know she couldn't prove either. But I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will look forward to more from this author.

Another great book from Ruth Irons

Loved this but really hated Orla from the start. I wanted a little more from the ending but it was a good read.

Slow start but great story

Another masterpiece from Ruth Irons - a beautifully descriptive gentle narrative to start then a wonderful twist towards the end. Can’t wait for the next one.

The perfect twist.
