About this listen

An Amazon Charts and USA Today bestseller.

Gina Royal is the definition of average—a shy Midwestern housewife with a happy marriage and two adorable children. But when a car accident reveals her husband’s secret life as a serial killer, she must remake herself as Gwen Proctor—the ultimate warrior mom.

With her ex now in prison, Gwen has finally found refuge in a new home on remote Stillhouse Lake. Though still the target of stalkers and Internet trolls who think she had something to do with her husband’s crimes, Gwen dares to think her kids can finally grow up in peace.

But just when she’s starting to feel at ease in her new identity, a body turns up in the lake—and threatening letters start arriving from an all-too-familiar address. Gwen Proctor must keep friends close and enemies at bay to avoid being exposed—or watch her kids fall victim to a killer who takes pleasure in tormenting her. One thing is certain: she’s learned how to fight evil. And she’ll never stop.

A really good suspense thriller. Both exciting and entertaining it’s a good story line with lots of twists and turns. Surprise ending though

Well written, held interest well. A couple of minor unbelievable actions by the main character were the only downside. Enjoyed this.

Excellent book, marred only by one implausibility

Having read so many great reviews on this book I was left disappointed by it’s slow-pace and frustratingly predictable ‘reveal’. The story, in my opinion, was far-fetched and too unbelievable to be enjoyable.

Slow and Predictable

This book had me gripped from start to finish, great from start to finish! From the sample I wasn't sure I'd like the narrator, but I was so wrong, brilliant. Definatly purchasing the next one.

Best audible book I've listened to so far!
