About this listen

The BRAND NEW psychological thriller from Richard and Judy bestselling author of The Twins, Saskia Sarginson. Perfect for fans of Shari Lapena, Freida McFadden and Girl on the Train! It was the summer that changed everything…

With trembling hands, Meg knocks on the door of the large manor house. Behind her, the view down to the river is spectacular. She’s here to be the nanny to two young children.

It’s not the job Meg is anxious about, though. It’s the house itself that scares her, and the secrets lurking inside. Not only that, but will her new employer recognise her?

The door opens. A beautiful, smiling woman greets her and ushers her inside.

As she walks in, Meg realizes the house is exactly as she remembers. Her employer hasn’t changed much, either, unlike Meg. The last time they met was fifteen years ago, when Meg was a child.

Because this is where Meg lived the summer her mother went missing. The summer her life changed. The summer Meg believes she killed a man.

Now she’s back, in disguise as Margaret the nanny, and determined to find out what really happened. But some secrets are best left buried. Because someone knows exactly who Meg is, and they will do whatever it takes to keep her quiet…

A completely gripping, powerfully-written, nailbitingly-twisty thriller, guaranteed to keep listeners up all night, from bestselling Richard & Judy Bookclub author, Saskia Sarginson.

This was a great story and kept me reading all the way. There wa s bit in the middle when you thought "Hey. Why dosen't she just go?" Then you realise she ould not and it is essential for her motivation and charater and the whole story.
Last half just keeps you guessing and interested.
Could tell you why but just read it!

Great story and really, really well narrated
