About this listen

If you hurt me, I'll hurt you. Not right away of course, because where's the fun in that?

When an empty passenger plane mysteriously crashes in the Lake District, journalist Carly Atherton is determined to get to the truth of what happened—the love of her life was one of the two pilots on board.

But when she contacts the family of the other pilot, the conflicting memories of his wife and his sister draw her into a story far darker than she could possibly have imagined.

As Carly delves into the dynamics of a seemingly ordinary family, she realises that the bonds that shape us can also tear us apart—and that sometimes there are monsters living among us, hiding in plain sight...

this started off as a slow burn and I wasn't sure it was for me. it reminded me a bit of Bella Mackie's 'how to kill your family' which I thought was utter tripe, but this novel is a grower and infinitely better written. Two hours in and I couldn't put it down. Could've done without the medical lesson towards the end (I'm a RMN) but aside from this, I really enjoyed it. Great narration too .

enjoyable, gripping
