Summary

'From the first time I saw them together I knew it felt wrong. I didn't like the way he touched her or the self-conscious way he played with Molly and Luke. Joanne saw none of it of course. So I did it to prove to her that she was wrong. I did it for us.'

Emily's instincts tell her that best friend Joanne's new boyfriend is bad news. Emily fears for Joanne. Fears for Joanne's children. But Joanne won't listen because she's in love. So Emily watches and waits...and then she makes a choice. But Emily has a past, and secrets, too. And is she really as good a friend to Joanne as she claims?

Critic reviews

"Unpredictable, challenging and compelling." (Sophie Hannah, author of Did You See Melody?)
"Never before have I read such a compelling, chilling read that kept me intrigued from beginning to end... If you adore psychological thrillers and books such as The Girl on the Train, then this is a must read!" (Red Headed Book Lover Blog)
" I Did It For Us held me from the off. It's compelling, slickly plotted and brilliantly written." (Amanda Jennings, author of In Her Wake)

Good, not great.

This was a good story, interesting enough however it was quite predictable, no real big surprises. I generally like a more twisty end that I don’t see coming. Nevertheless it was an enjoyable listen.

Challenging and compulsive!

I haven't listened to such a great book in ages!
It challenged me as I thought Emily was unhinged, but then I fell in love .
Be prepared for sleeplessness! Superbly narrated too.

The plot twists were amazing!

The storyline was incredible and the pacing was amazing 👏🏾 Mary Woodvine read this story phenomenally and made it feel as if I was really in the characters shoes!

Excellent thriller with a twist.

Thoroughly enjoyable story that had you gripped to the end. A theme that tugged at emotions. Very enjoyable and well performed.

A little slow, but a good read

I enjoyed this book. I loved the start and the end, but did find the middle was slow. A little drawn out. However the characters were good, the story gripping ( perhaps a tiny bit unbelievable) and the narration superb. I would recommend and would read other books by this author.

An enjoyable thriller

With a twist...

Something different from the Gary Goodhew author, still based around Cambridge and the outer reaches. Good story, good twist but I do love a Gary Goodhew novel!
