About this listen

Natty and Sean Wainwright are happily married. Rock solid in fact. So when Natty's oldest friend, Eve Dalladay, appears - just as their daughter collapses on a school trip in France - Natty has no qualms about leaving Eve with Sean to help out at home.

Two weeks later and Natty finds Eve has slotted into family life too well - her husband has fallen in love with Eve. He's sorry, he tells her, but their marriage is over. With no option but to put a brave face on things for the sake of the children, Natty embarks on building a new life for herself. And then she receives the note. Eve has done this before, more than once, and with fatal consequences...

I loved the Lakeland setting of the story.
Janine Birkitt was an excellent narrator.
Do not miss this book - I have read Paula Daly's previous book and can recommend this too.

My one slight disappointment was its sudden conclusion; I'd like to have known how characters dealt with the change in circumstances.

Well written story with plenty of twists

Well read, really easy. Not a lot of depth to the storyline. Inconclusive at the end

Another Paula Daly audio book that I would gladly have paid more than one credit to listen to.

As with the previous book, it is well written with a realistic storyline. What also made it an additive listen, is the narration - various characters - including males - were excellently portrayed.

Well done!! I look forward to the next book.

Consumed in One Sitting!!
